Ja spilvens novērtēja un viņai patika Eels — What Is This Note?, tad domāju, ka patiks arī Souljacker (Part I). Viena no manām vismīļākajām dziesmām vispār un no Eels.
DJ Killingspree: "There's a little number called, SOULJACKER part I. Warning: remove all sharp objects in the room before putting this one on. It leans toward the rock end of the spectrum!"
Nav tik mežonīga kā What Is This Note?, tomēr savā ziņā varbūt pat vairāk.

Un par vienu no galvenajiem Eels, par pašu E: "There is singer / songwriter / multi-instrumentalist E (aka Mark Oliver Everett). What is he all about? He has been called many things. One message board poster calls him the "Godfather to all the babyfreaks with broken hearts" ("You're such a Beautiful Freak, I wish there was more just like you" - x-f piez.). Ask E himself for the answer and he'll shrug and say simply, "I like to rock"." Patiešām multi-instrumentalist — "vocals, guitar, mellotron, clavinet, piano, baritone guitar, Wurlitzer, etc."

E. Butch, and a funky Englishman named John Parish, come together to blow hard-HARD like a mystical trumpet playing from a hard rockin' land. HARD like rock baking in the desert sun. HARD like the heart of a teenager stuck in Nowheresville.

JOHN PARISH, A PROPER Englishman that knows how to rock, met EELS leader E at taping of the British television program "Top of the Pops". The two continued to meet up whenever they were in the same town and a mutual love of croquet and rock led to the making of much of the record you now hold in your hand. A relationship that literally started at the "Top of the Pops" certainly holds promise, don't you think?

It's been a lifelong dream of the boys to have Koool G Murder involved in a project. This dream finally becomes reality with this release: Mr. Murder rocks the bass and keys on several SOULJACKER tracks. Legendary guitarist Joe Gore pops up on the haunting BUS STOP BOXER as well as the celebratory WHAT IS THIS NOTE? And isn't that old bass-playing pal Adam I hear on SOULJACKER part I?

D'wight Devil programs some crazy shit that will have the kids lining up at the record store for weeks to come. Drummer Butch, known to many as nothing less than the greatest drummer alive, kicks his usual ass.

They all played maracas.

Pastāv arī Souljacker (Part II) — pilnīgs pretstats pirmajai daļai. Kvalitāte tur tāda interesanta. Galvenais ir teksts. Par kaut ko tādu sajūsmā būtu hope.less.

Eels ir tāda jautra dziesmiņa par eņģeliem, kuri grib vēl pēdējoreiz piestāt uz zemes — This Town, Last Stop. Tā sākas ar vārdiem:

you're dead, but the world keeps spinning.
take a spin to the world you left,
it's getting dark, a little too early

Patiešām jautra dziesmiņa, lai gan E dzied nopietni. Tur dzied arī šļupstoši eņģeļi un tādi ar smalkām balstiņām. :) Tāpēc jau tie ir Eels, lai tā dziedātu par drūmām tēmām.
