Daisies Of The Galaxy

The causes between indie music, transcendental sadness, and time feel complicated in Eelsworld. The middle term comforts, as either an everyday or a just-at-the-right-time. The record explicitly plays with the clock as well: "Angry little whore" is a new archetype, even as aspiration, and infancy bookends.

... or how a chronic depressive tries to give the image of a person who seeks to be happy... without succeeding. Luckily I don't see myself reflected in it, but I appreciate the quality of Mr. E's art and especially his inner struggle that he reflects in this set of songs

I liked the Eels record that was already on the list, but I LOVED this one

Oh yeah, a better entry for Eels by leaps and bounds, just overall very interesting for the time period.

Très bon, une bonne écoute ! 3.5

Mr Es beautiful day is such a freaking awesome song. Hadn't heard that in a while. Thanks for suggesting.

Pretty solid alt rock, but didn't rise particularly above the pack for me.

I slightly prefer this to "Beautiful Freak," but I still don't like it. As the cover might imply, this mostly sounds like warped children's music.

“I Like Birds” is kind of cute. Other than that track the rest are sorta meh for me. Not my thing in general, although there are a few tracks where Eels overall are not bad.

9/10. Ooh, when I saw this I wasn't looking forward to it because I didn't think Beautiful Freak was all that, but it seems like another instance of the main list just not picking the most enjoyable album to represent a particular artist.

Pretty much what I expected from another Eels album. I think if I was a bit more lyrically inclined I’d have more fun with these albums. 6/10

These chill dudes again

Love Eels and have loved Eels ever since I heard Fresh Blood

Rock indie

Eels is good, I love the vocalists voice, but the album is just kinda boring.

Really liked this one. I like the singers voice and I remember this band from the Beautiful Freak album that was on the list. Will check out more of their stuff.

I've heard the name Eels before but don't know anything about the band. I long ago decided in my head they were a garage punk/noise/alternative band, kinda like the Pixies but heavier. Ok that’s the wrongest I’ve ever been in the 1001 albums list. I’m usually at least ~75% right. This falls under the big “alternative” umbrella but beyond that it has no resemblance to what I predicted. I hear a bit of Nirvana in the vocals and lyrics, but otherwise it’s… alternatively poppy? Bit of piano, bit of guitar. Not too bad, didn’t drive me insane but wouldn’t listen again. 3/5.
