There are plenty of things to dislike about dEUS. They're arsey. They use capital letters obnoxiously. They're Belgian (ok, so maybe that's not the best reason). And they haven't put out a consistently good record in years. Frankly, I'm a bit surprised I like them at all - on paper, their blend of American-style indie rock and experimental avant-jazz/blues wouldn't appeal to me in the slightest. But on their first two proper albums, at least, the sheer quality of the songs (and their undeniable ear for the catchy pop tune underneath all the other stuff) allowed them to pull it off remarkably successfully. It's been downhill since then, though.
This is a relatively sedate one from their debut, 1994's Worst Case Scenario.
