The Vinyl Countdown # 753

Eels, Souljacker (2001) I liked Eels – the first three albums were great; but I didn’t own any of them at the time (friends had them, I listened in, liked what I heard – looked forward to catching the music vids on the telly…) this is the one, the album that made me a fan. […]

Eels: Wonderful, Glorious
