I can't decide whether this or Blinking Lights and other Revelations is the best Eels album.

Eels makes some of the most powerful, touching, yet down to earth pop/rock music there is, and Electro Shock Blues is a perfect example of this. Part of what makes the album so affecting for me is the sort everyday plainness with which he approaches such heavy subject matter.

This. My ex-gf said "they make such happy music", but I don't think she really paid attention to the lyrics.

My favourite Eels album still is Daisies of the Galaxy though, but this is a close second. Beautiful Freak is an awesome album too.

Eels best by a longshot.

Brilliant lyrics, touching subject matters both matched brilliantly with some simple yet brilliant melodies and tunes. Going to Your Funeral Part 2 always hits an emotional chord with me.
