But doesn't the cover look like a still from the video of "Black Hole Sun"?

    It's true, I don't know them but I have heard them mentioned here on the deb; I'll start from this.

    I don't know them very well either; I listened to this album for the first time last night.

    At times, it really feels like a musical; "not ready yet" is a manifesto of social anxiety.

    Here, Rinaldi, you're another one who needs to prepare a stock of tissues :(

    Well, it definitely is a very "suffering" album; it narrates bad emotions that I think we all have experienced at least once.

    Worried about the next album... Those are pains. His.

    By the way, @[hjhhjiji], I haven't gotten back to you about listening to Neil Young regarding his influence on DJs... in fact, I've listened to all four suggested albums, some more than once, but in the end, I set them aside without making a decision... in short, the albums are undoubtedly beautiful and I do find some affinities, especially with the post-Barlow DJs, but that's not the reason I've always listened to the DJs.

    It's true that there's a lot of Young in the '90s albums, probably even more (as proof that he can say whatever he wants, but J was definitely heavily influenced by Nello, certainly more than Lou), but I repeat there are very strong affinities in some tracks even from the debut, for example. I don't know what you like to listen to from the Dinosaur, but in the end, it's impossible not to find some similarities anyway. Most of all, I'm glad if you didn't know Young and you liked those albums, aside from the Dinosaur.

    I don't know all of their discography but almost. As Hjhhjij says, the next Electro Shock-Blues is always ready with a handkerchief. I know the cover of Beautiful Freak very well because I own the album and used it as an avatar on Deb for a while, then removed it because it was a bit unsettling. The Eels-Everett with Sparklehorse-Linkous and Smog-Callahan are the top of indie singer-songwriters from the nineties and early 2000s. At least for me.

    Wonderful album 'Electro-shock blues', I’m listening to it right now. I have this flaw that at first I don’t pay much attention to the lyrics, but the music itself doesn’t seem that tearful to me.

    I know, it's Everett's infamous trick. A delicate or, after all, not depressing (when it's not "sunny") tune over lyrics that... Go read something about what the album is about. Punch to the gut incoming.

    The lyrics and music on this album are inevitably a whole much more than in his other ones. Anyway, my favorite Eels album remains the third, eh, "Daisies of the Galaxies."

    Sure, my English isn't bad but listening isn't my strong suit, I'll go read something. After that, since there is no 2 without 3...
