Beautiful Freak

Eels

This first effort from E introduced a deeply personal, quirky approach to rock music. It relies on a mixture of classic song arrangements and rougher, experimental sampling techniques.

Music from the mid-90s moved toward this kind of introspective, odd style. The record remains a notable example of the alternative rock era.
