Review by Richard Diedrichs

Licence to Eel is the thirteenth studio album by American rock band, Eels. Released in 2018, the album features twelve tracks that showcase the band's signature style of blending rock, pop, and alternative music.

The album opens with the upbeat and catchy track, "The Deconstruction," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Other standout tracks include "Bone Dry," with its driving guitar riffs and catchy chorus, and "Premonition," which features a haunting melody and introspective lyrics.

The album also features slower, more introspective tracks, such as "Rusty Pipes" and "Today Is the Day," which showcase lead singer Mark Oliver Everett's emotive vocals and poignant songwriting.

Notes

  • 'License To Eel' was a promotional 13 track cd-r. Obviously, the publishing date of this CD was July 21st 2003. Nobody really knows what it was supposed to be.
  • In June 2005 the CD popped up on eBay with a starting bid of only US $ 0,69. A bidding frenzy broke out. The text of the seller was the following: "I have now played music from this cd for an eels expert, and I have been assured this disc is completely legit! The sound-quality is absolutely SUPERB!" The winner of this auction (called '310keving') paid US $336.69 for it.
  • No new copies have popped up since then. Probably someone of Dreamworks was the winner of the auction. Rumour has it that E himself bought it. By the way, an article in L.A. Weekly in June 2002 had the same title
