Beautiful. For the most part, it’s electric, fun, and silly; I believe it’s a one-of-a-kind in Mr. E and his Eels' career. It’s not a masterpiece, but tracks like "Dog Faced Boy," "That's Not Really Funny," and "Souljacker I" (my favorite, irresistible) alongside the fiery conclusion of "What Is This Note?" are absolutely scream-worthy. Naturally, there are also more "slow" and melancholic pieces, especially the beautiful "Souljacker part II" and "World of Shit," but not only that. "Teenage Witch" is also fun. It’s truly a great album.
