The Eels...well...are just the Eels. They have a pretty unique sound that somewhat defies putting them in a catagory. Most have probably heard the Eels music, as it is used in numerous indy flick soundtracks. They have had a couple what might be classified as hits... "Novacaine for the Soul" and "My beloved Monster". This CD is great however their other CD's are even better... Highly recommend....
