Tracklist and Album art-work are now up on the Eels website. Not too sure about the album cover, but apart from 'Electro-Shock Blues', they've all been pretty average designs. Looking forward to the new tunes though.

I really liked the Blinking Lights cover.

I'm super interested in this album. Its got to be intimidating to record an album after something like "Blinking Lights.."

 

really?

 

i thought it was pretty good, but would probably have been better as a single album.

Definately would have been better with a bit of editing. Saying that, there are very few 'double albums' that I don't think would have benefited from a bit of quality control. 'Being There' is an exception of course! (apart from King-Pin...which is rubbish!).

I got caught up in it. The album, then the tour with strings, I played it every day. It just struck some chord in me. I've never really had another album have such an impact on me as an adult. I really couldn't tell you what it was or is about it even. It still flattens me. Knocks me out. Those albums come along for everyone at some point I think.

There's a new documentary titled 'Tremendous Dynamite' up on the Eels Myspace page. It's a half hour documentary on the making of the new album, 'Hombre Lobo', due out in a couple of months. I've not checked it out yet (Myspace is Blocked at work :angry ) but it sounds interesting.

Not sure I'm a fan. It's just kinda blah. Maybe on repeated listens I'll feel different but right now I"m not terribly enthused.

 

Yeah, I find myself really loving some of E's album (Electro Shock, Daises, Blinking Lights) and then not really getting into others at all (Souljacker, Shootenany) and I think this one might be in the later category. Still, he's an artist whose stuff I always want to check out as soon as it's available, and all of his albums have had at least one song I have really enjoyed.

all i saw was a 2 min trailer - is the whole thing up there, too?

 

the song in that trailer - the title track i presume - isn't too great. sounds like something that could have been on Shootenanny! - which i don't care too much for.

 

pretty basic rock more or less with kinda hoaky lyrics.

 

that cut Agony on Shootenanny! is great though.
