  El Oso - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
El Oso, released in 1998 (see 1998 in music) is the third and final album by the New York City band Soul Coughing.
Curious, Doughty recorded it into his ASR-10 sampler with the intention of simply reversing it and seeing what the joke was, and wrote the song around what he found there.
Some consider El Oso to be a marked deviation from their previous albums, Ruby Vroom and Irresistible Bliss, particularly in its departure from jazz and continuation of the melodicism of Bliss in an overall darker mood.

El Oso (Spanish for "the bear") expands on Soul Coughing`s typical sound of M. Doughty`s sparse guitar, Sebastian Steinberg`s upright bass, Yuval Gabay`s distinct drumming, and Mark De Gli Antoni`s keyboards and bizarre samples.
On El Oso, the samples are mostly smaller sound effects and electronic beeps, accentuating the song as opposed to being its main hook.

Which is not to deny that "El Oso" is a great album, but fans will note with slight disappointment the relative lack of literary wizardly.
"El Oso" has more of a pop feel than "Ruby Vroom" or "Irresistible Bliss" but is still fresh, hip, and jazzy; probably still too different for most radio stations to play it - and too good for most radio stations to play.
El Oso is as good as Ruby Vroom and Irresistible Bliss, although perhaps not quite as humorous.

 Minus The Bear: Menos el Oso (2005): Reviews
Their trademark wit is still present but less forced; instead it is more intelligent and reflective, and as the band produced this album themselves, the reward is apparent: they sound more self-assured and strong than they ever have.
While not all of the songs on Menos el Oso are winners, the album as a whole holds up much better than any of their previous efforts.
They hit all the right notes and create the right hooks for success, at least in theory, but for all the passion in Jake Snider's voice, he might as well be singing about the ham sandwich he ate for lunch.

 Blogcritics.org: Review: Minus the Bear - Menos el Oso
Menos el Oso opens with a rhythmic guitar and a delayed, reverbed guitar intertwining, leading into vocalist — and guitarist, don't you forget — Jake Snider's evocative lyricism.
Menos el Oso starts strong — "The Game Needed Me" is captivating and enrapturing, showing clear signs of what follows.
The subtlety of the music, even behind dense guitars and drums, becomes readily apparent after repeated listening; keyboards that were once repressed quickly make themselves apparent and the most interesting of guitar effects shift from being something noticed only in passing to being a true additive element.

 Minus the Bear : Menos el Oso - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
At times it's not quite guitar "noodling," but the melodies revolve around intricate and winding riffs as they do on "The Fix," which builds in momentum.
When the band opts for a pedestrian, atmospheric pace as they do on "El Torrente," it seems to fall flat, more of a breather or experimental filler than anything truly worth repeated listens.
Catchier is "Pachuca Sunrise" with a great hop in its step that brings to mind something that Death Cab for Cutie might attempt at some point.
