I really love "efil's god" - that funky bass combined with E's high-pitched voice..
the version on the new live cd (electro-shock blues show) is pretty amazing too - the 'backwards strings'-part is done with guitar.
"elizabeth" is also beautiful. really like "the medication is wearing off".
how about "thats not really funny", "dog faced boy" and especially "bus stop boxer" on souljacker?

is there a version of "elizabeth" on the new live disc? i love the live version! i wish there was a stereo quality live version of get ur freak on :/

"Not ready yet" is one of the most honest straightforward songs ever written . I admire that loads.
I also love 'Beautiful freak" . Chris Morris used it on Blue Jam. Excellent band :)

i have beutiful freak, electro shock blues and souljacker. i used to have daisies of galaxy but I thought it sucked and sold it. it was definately the least good eels release. i like electro shock blues most. souljacker is good but some songs arent all that good on it.

electro-shock blues is the best album
I love how the themes are completely dark, but on the whole it doesn't get depressing at all.
"elizabeth" isn't on the live cd. "cancer for the cure", "going to your funeral 1", "efils god", "last stop: this town", "electroshock blues", "the medication is wearing off", "climbing the moon" ar all on there though..
also a 12 minute version of "not ready yet".

their new live is amazing.. most of the songs are either given completel new arrangements or extended jams (check out the 12 minute "not ready yet").. $10 plus $2.50 shipping on cdbaby.com (look up the album by putting eels as the artist name)

I think electric eels are interesting. Here's a good idea: kill all the earth's creatures except ones that can generate electricity like electric eels. This way they will evolve rapidly and fill all the niches and EVERYONE would be able to on earth.

lemme just tell you: there's a WHOLE lot more to the eels than that song. like radiohead and nin, they hate their breakthrough hit and have so many better songs.

I like what I have heard of this Soul Jacker album thingy..stuff before it was too.. I want to be Beck but I am too brainy so I will rip him off and mock him simultaneously..
