Eels—The Cautionary Tales of Mark Oliver Everett Review by Luis A. Apolaya It seems to happen to all artists: when the euphoria of youth dies down, their new records start sounding softer and more introspective. The tongue-in-cheek and moody qualities of Eels’ previous material is not as apparent here, and instead you have lead singer E reflecting on his life amid soft, unassuming, and pretty good melodies. Recommended: 2, 3, 4, 5. RIYL Rod Stewart, Leonard Cohen, Bob Seeger’s and Randy Newman’s ballads. FCC warning on track 7. 1. (1:42) Instrumental, very pretty melody with horns and flute and piano, music you play before going to sleep. **2. (3:16) Mid-tempo, folky acoustic guitar throughout, raspy Bob Seeger voice, very soothing. **3. (3:30) Slow track about despair, melancholy electric piano, cello and other strings come in because it just needs to get sadder than it already is, soft percussion in the background. **4. (3:28) Leonard Cohen, is that you? *5. (3:37) Mid-tempo, pleasant soft electric guitar, stuff to listen to while contemplating the meaning of life while lying down on green grass during a sunny day. 6. (2:49) Mid-fast, folky feel-good mood. 7. (3:23) FCC warning “motherfucker”, baby xylophone tune and strings. 8. (2:54) Just a man and his soft electric guitar singing about a girl. 9. (2:36) Sad piano with sad vocals singing sad memories about sad could-have-beens. 10. (2:29) Echo-laden vocals, depressing winds section. *11. (2:39) More baby xylophone, more strings, more introspection. *12. (4:57) More of an Eels alt rock feel than the rest of the album, talks about the errors of the past but sounds more hopeful. *13. (3:04) Same melodic theme as the intro, nice closer with a piano-playing Randy Newman feel, possibly most optimistic song in the album. | ||
