Nah, the majority of people have a moderate to positive opinion on the latest album.
Yeah, I think that's about right.
It may seem a bit negative here at times but I think on the whole it's a pretty friendly place. Good to have a bit of balance rather than everyone just being frothingly hyperbolic and refusing to allow anything other than slavish adoration.
And I've enjoyed spending time with everyone I've met from here in real life.
As far as the album goes, a few months after release I'm finding that it's not one I think I'd put in the top half of his output.
but there are enough tracks on there that for me personally are becoming stone-cold Eels classics (the Turnaround, Peach Blossom, Wonderful, Glorious) but equally there are probably more songs on here that I could skip over, which is pretty much unheard-of for me with other Eels albums.
