Mr E's best so far

Review Score: (8/10)
This is probably Eels' most listenable album so far, a collection of surprisingly upbeat tunes that rarely lapses into the bleak offerings of the previous recordings. This is the Eels album you can pop on the cd player when you have people round and not have to fast forward half the tracks. Unlike Beautiful Freak or Electro-Shock Blues, both of which take time to appreciate fully, I loved this record almost immediately. There is ample evidence on 'Daisies' that Eels maintain the gift for churning out the catchiest pop melodies around, even if they choose to really let loose only occasionally. The unorthodox Mr E and friends continue to delight far more than they infuriate.
