Exceptional artist.

While simultaneously brilliant.  A very complex, well-built record.

Great song from a very special album. Highly recommended, surely one of the best Eels albums.
The lyrics are very "hintersinnig".

A very pink floydy intro

Congratulations Eels, you've not only written a boring, stupid song, but also found one of the weakest vocalists around to sing it. Bravo on hitting new lows!

On a normal day, I'm pretty sure Mr. E has some idea who the Eels are.

What's with all this slow, sappy, sad stuff?

This is beautiful and sensitive, especially when played right after Coldplay - Warning Sign.

Almost the same segue tonight- but another beatles tune thrown in between.
Wonderful song- probably my fave Eels tune.

Bill, fess up - you only scheduled this track right after For No One because of the comments that guy made about the Eels, right? :-)

Totally off topic but I think some people reading this thread might appreciate it so here goes...

I was at a tiny Halloween party last week in LA when I heard someone behind me being introduced around as "E, as in the letter". Did a double take, and sure enough there was Mr. E with a full beard just chilling at some little backyard house party on a Wednesday night (sans costume, sadly). Couldn't help myself, went over and congratulated him on his work, gushed over how brilliant he was, and went on my way. He took it all very well and was extremely modest about it all -- if he only knew how big an impact his music has had on some of us...

Anyways, I got a kick out of it despite the fact that none of my buddies knew who the eels were (let alone Mr. E himself), but I wanted to share ;)

oh man, I'd go to the moon or anywhere else with a voice like that! This is just great! Thanks RP for turning me on to another favorite group!

I agree...

Mr. E!!!!!!!

He doesn't have a classic voice, and yes, I guess the Beck comparisons could be made. However...

He writes thoughtful, introspective lyrics that still manage to connect across a range of (negative) experiences. Not surprisingly, his admirers may be relatively small in number but intense in their admiration. I certainly count myself as one.

If the voice is a sticking point, I guess there's not much that can be done. It just seems like there are enough well-regarded musicians with poor voices who are much more popular than E...

Well said. Exactly what I sense about him, but couldn't articulate.

A relentlessly bleak CD; I love it!

Wow, I am sure missing something here. This guy's voice just makes me cringe, and yet my august compatriots on RP seem to love it. I will listen and hope for enlightenment.
