Negative Positive
Title: Nice garden of songs.
Review: The third album finds the Eels a bit more acoustic and somber, but still with some biting wit. Only a handfull of tracks, like the very pop driven "Flyswatter", hark back to the first album. The rest is made up of more adult melodies that have managed to keep the ever-present quarky edge. The disc's first radio single is actually the last "hidden" track, and tops off this well rounded affair. Guests pop up, including some guitars from R.E.M."s Peter Buck. This is a fine release from a fine band. Definitely worth checking out.
