Reviews

  • BBC News: My Music - Eels - E takes BBC News Online through his musical heaven and hell.
  • Salon.com Politics: A campaign's dog days - Excerpt from an article on the GOP's criticism of the distribution of "Daisies of the Galaxy" at a Democratic Party event. (September 20, 2000)
  • In Music We Trust: Electro-Shock Blues Show - Alex Steininger's review: "A seventy-three minute set of The Eels at their best."
  • Jack Feeny Reviews: Eels - Detailed reviews of the Eels' albums.
  • Pop Matters: The Eels - David Medsker's review of a March 2002 concert in Chicago. (April 17, 2002)
  • Pop Matters: Daisies of the Galaxy - Fred Kovey's review: "A fine pop record in an era that seems uninterested in pop unless it's marketed with dance steps and a quickie bio." Rated 8.0.
  • The Onion A.V. Club - Nathan Rabin's review: "Nothing here is quite as transcendent as its excellent first single, 'Last Stop: This Town,' and there are more than a few instances in which E seems to be losing the plot. But all in all, it's a remarkable achievement."
  • Poetry Hi-Fi: The Eels' Electro-Shock Blues - The Phone Call in the Middle of the Night - Dale Simms' review: "Less hook-laden than 'Beautiful Freak,' less syrupy than the string arrangements on E's solo stuff, 'Electro-Shock Blues' is neither bluesy (no improvisation/no emotion) nor shocking (no affect). But like the mousy girl with no makeup who parts her mouth just slightly at your glance, that may be the album's ultimate charm."
  • Nude as the News: Oh What a Beautiful Morning - Brad Caffeine's review: "Even after almost an hour, it still leaves the listener wanting more." 8.5 out of 10.
  • NME: Oh What a Beautiful Morning - Victoria Segal's review: "It's a sparse format that highlights the ugly world in which Eels exist, dug into the grim defensive irony of the permanently disappointed." Rating of 7. (January 26, 2001)
  • Leonard's Lair: Souljacker - Jonathan Leonard's review: "Hard to imagine many other bands who blend together melodies, subversion and genuine emotion and still end up smelling of roses."
  • Flak Magazine: Souljacker - Wayne Lewis' review: "Between the grooves of Souljacker it's hard to hear the masterpiece that the breathless overseas press has heralded, but E and his crew have put together another solid outing that touches on broader sonic and emotional vistas yet left to explore." (April 15, 2002)
  • In Music We Trust: Eels - Souljacker - Alex Steininger's review, grade of A: "This is quality music that could save pop." (February, 2002)
