I'm apparently the last person on earth to hear of Eels (apparently not The Eels)? You've probably heard last stop this town or Mr. E's beautiful blues from one of these movies but I only recently discovered these guys. Just listened to the new album - http://amzn.to/bI15Xq - let me know what you guys think

Sounds OK I guess, but the samples are so short and I would be tempted to slap whom ever recorded them.
Super canned compression sounds like crap IMO.

Then this ain't the bestest stereo system either.

Nah youre totally right. Too much compression and they dont have any dynamics. But I think they're also going for a weird, low-fi sound.
