  • Overall:

    Good Kind of Music

    I like a variety of music, from Counting Crows to Tal Bachman to matchbox twenty to Cake. I'm definitly a new Eels fan but I thought opinions would be appreciated from die-hard Eels fans and new ones as well. I give Beautiful Freak 5 stars because ...the music is worth listening to. It's original, and the vocals are articulate and good, which makes you think that the Eels are confident of their music ability, and they have every right to be! My favorite songs are Spunky, which is a sort of feel-good song, Flower, which sounds beautiful, Not Ready Yet, and Rags to Rags. The sound clip for Rags to Rags sucks, but it really is a good song. My Beloved Monster was featured in the movie Shrek! The title song is not really too great, but overall, none of the songs are a disappointment. Enjoy the Eels, because they're original and they deserve recognition as a talented group. Read more Less

    Eccentric and quirky are the best ways to describe the Eels' debut effort, Beautiful Freak. Concise pop tunes form the backbone of the album, yet tinges of despair and downright meanness surface just when you've been lulled into thinking this is another pop group, as titles like "My Beloved Monster," "Your Lucky Day in Hell" and "Novocaine for the Soul" indicate. All in all, Beautiful Freak is a satisfying first record.

Although marketed as a band, the leader and focus of alt-rockers Eels is undeniably singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist E (real name Mark Oliver Everett). Born April 9, 1963, in Virginia, Everett became interested in rock music at an early age via his sister's record collection, and began playing drums at the age of six (as well as tinkering on his family's piano). ... Read more
