Pros: beautifully dark, darkly beautiful Cons: a little too "out there" to reach mass appeal
They say that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. Sometimes it's just not true, though. There are certain images, a dew-speckled rose opening up in the dawn's light or the sun setting over the ocean behind a wispy bank of clouds, for example, that ...
Pros: Amazing vocals, lyrics, and melodies... Cons: Probably a bit weird for some people...
Daisies of the Galaxy is as close to perfect as the Eels have come to musical perfection since they were first dreamt up by Mark Everett (now known simply as E). A sheer, gorgeous, thought provoking, and even hilariously creative blend of...
Pros: Beautiful songwriting, spectacular melodies Cons: not a one
Death is standard fare for Mark Oliver Everett, otherwise known as the man called "E." First it was his sister, the inspiration behind the crushingly depressive "Electro-Shock Blues," his previous CD with his revolving-door musical...
Pros: Fans will appreciate the poetic lyrics and off-centered style. Cons: A little slower and more alienating then earlier albums.
"Daisies of the Galaxy" marks a change in musical style for the Eels. Instead of following a grunge-rock core, this album explores a more alternative feel, mixing in a little punk and jazz along the way. It's quite a change for those who are familiar...
When looking at the cover of The Eels’ “Daisies Of The Galaxy”, you’d probably think you’re buying a series of fairy tales, a notion reinforced by the fact that The Eels are signed to Dreamworks.
You could say that. E (yup, that’s how the...
Pros: Typical Eels: Beautiful Cons: You don't get the full effect unless you've heard 'Electro-Shock Blues'
Yes, I think he is doing a bit better. Back in 1998, Eels recorded 'Electro-Shock Blues', which may have been the most melancholy album released all decade. Now, they're back, and I think the Man Called E is feeling a little better. Hell, he says as...
Pros: All purpose good music. Many excellent tracks. Cons: Haven't seen one yet
Listening to this CD for the first time was one of the scarce moments in life, when I knew that I had made an excellent decision right out of the blue.
I only knew two single songs, "Souljacker" and "Mr.E's beautiful blues", but I gave it a...
Pros: Mr, E's Cheerful Cons: Maybe you don't like that though...
Prior to this, the third Eels album, life was all very dark with the Eels. Electro Shock Blues, the previous Eels album, was a bit to depressing for my tastes. Their debut was somewhat more upbeat but the overall mood was still down. Thankfully on their...
Pros: Flyswatter makes it worth buying. Cons: Not as good as Electro Shock Blues.
Daisies Of The Galaxy is the third Eel’s album to be released and still contains the best depressing music ever. To most people the idea of music to depress you further might sound not quite normal to me I say play on especially as the music is well...
Pros: Lyrics, voice, Drums, Producing, Guitar, Bass Cons: It actually broght me to tears
This Bizzare example of manic-depressionbrought to you by the uniquely beautiul idnetitiy crisis that is The Eels's "Daises Of The Galaxy." The album is now down to a duo, and as a duo, they produce more pleasure than listening to a symphony...
Pros: creative arrangements, great lyrics. Cons: some slower songs drag a bit
i've been waiting for this album ever since the previous album, electroshock blues, became affixed to my soul. that final song on that album, "p.s. you rock my world," is a great link to the new album. that song was such an uplifting finale...
