If you’re not familiar with the Eels, this might not be the perfect album to start with. Some of the first songs are slightly weirder and more abrasive. Even my roommate, who likes and listens to the Eels, turned to me five minutes into the album and demanded, “dude, what the (expletive) are you listening to?” However, as the album progresses it seems to find its way back to the more typical Eels sound with all the beautiful complexities associated with it, so give it a chance. This album embodies all that makes the Eels so great; it never gets repetitive or boring — “Tomorrow Morning” matures, grows on you and gains depth and meaning, unlike a pop or hip-hop album that gets old fast. I recommend this album if you want something that’s a bit moody and angsty but don’t want to cry yourself to sleep listening to Joni Mitchell or rock out to Nirvana like a rebellious high schooler. “Tomorrow Morning” has a perfect balance and interweaving of moody, slow songs and more energetic, even slightly — dare I say it— happy songs. As a whole, it is more uplifting than some of the Eels’ earlier albums, but it is still perfectly in tune with their general attitude that the world sucks and so do the people in it. But hey that’s life — keep living.
