Eels So Good : Essential Eels Vol. 2 - 2007-2020 (2023)

"Mark Oliver Everett is a man capable of writing an irresistible pop tune when he feels like it. Everett is the mastermind behind Eels. With "Eels So Good: Essential Eels, Vol. 2 (2007-2020)", a collection that pulls highlights from his catalog from his 2008 score for the film "Yes Man" to the 2020 album "Earth To Dora", Everett sets aside his essential duality and shares 20 tracks that, for the most part, focus on the gentler and more engaging side of his personality. If you're looking for a (relatively) user-friendly introduction to the odd but engaging world of Eels, "Eels So Good: Essential Eels, Vol. 2 (2007-2020)" is a good way to go, and it's a solid companion piece to 2008's "Meet The Eels: Essential Eels 1996-2006, Vol. 1"."
