| On his first album with Eels, Mr. E released this superb album of mid-90s alternative rock. Although it doesn't hold a candle to his later work, it's still a good debut and one that is a pleasing listen.
Many people may remember the catchy hit "Novacaine for the Soul", an Mtv staple in the fall of 1996 or "My Beloved Monster", which featured in the movie Shrek. Other highlights include "Not Ready Yet" with it's loopy organ and "Guest List" with its amazing harmonica solo. Although not their best work, this album set the blueprint for amazing things to come from Mr. E and company. Fans of Beck and Pavement will definitely enjoy this quirky disc.
