Eels - Blinking Lights and Other Revelations

[GordonUM]

They had a #1 Alternative hit with their debut single back in '96, but they're now officially an indie band. This double album debuts at #93 on Billboard, which as I'm surprised to learn is their highest album chart position ever, and only their third to make the top 200. It's also Metacritic's top ranked album of the year so far.

I've always been a big fan of their work, but at the same time, I've always found their full albums to be too much to take in at once. I've only heard this once so far, and it seems pretty solid, though not a huge departure. And the way the final track ends is just perfect. Anyone else give it a listen yet?

Their song "Hey Now" (along with other words within parentheses ) is featured on Launch.com, in the new videos section.

The video is kind of crappy, in the homemade kind of sense, and not really interesting at first glance. The songs alright though.

Yeah, I've heard a lot good about the album.

I don't know if I'm gonna get it though, although i am interested. I think I'll have to hear some first. I do wanna get Daisies from the Galaxy eventually.
