rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author neilg1 - Eels were formed in 1995 by Mark Oliver Everett, the man generally known as E. Their first album, Beautiful Freak met to critical and popular acclaim due to its charming blend of tongue in cheek angst and eccentric musicality. His follow up to this happy...

Electro-Shock Blues by Eels: Blues, Electroshock and Excavation (Matt's SMYISYM W/O)

Fri, 6 Jun 2003 09:30:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author foxy_shy - When about one and a half months ago Shelly (a.k.a. Lambchops) gave me the picks I should choose from to participate in this W/O… I was both intrigued and a little bit confused. I knew none of those artists. So, like I usually do when there’s...

Electro-Shock Blues by Eels: Eels: A Descent into Madness

Thu, 2 Jan 2003 17:13:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - To refer to the “band” the Eels as dark is a major understatement. The incredibly bleak nature of Mark Everett’s (known simply by E) compositions is rooted in his equally depressing past. E has in the course of just a few years felt...

Electro-Shock Blues by Eels: Are You Missing The Dearly Bereft?

Thu, 23 Nov 2000 00:07:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author The_Incarnate - Concept albums have a bit of a bad rep. Most people, when you mention the term, will imagine some half-baked, overblown, overfed, 70's, Pink Floyd rip-off. (Or, in some cases, maybe Pink Floyd themselves) It seems to be a given among many that you...

Electro-Shock Blues by Eels: No five-star reviews? Pshaw...

Mon, 17 Apr 2000 06:06:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sadtomatogirl - Strange. I adore this album for several reasons -- many too personal and irrelevant for a review here -- and don't feel it's as depressing as it's made out to be. First, the guy survived an estranged family, the death of his father and the suicide of...

Electro-Shock Blues by Eels: Depressingly Uplifting

Mon, 10 Apr 2000 19:35:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author freeradical - Why on earth would you buy an album, sixteen songs in length, that's about death and mental illness? Perhaps because it's one of the most brilliant albums to come out in the last few years.

Eels' songwriter, front man, and virtually...

Electro-Shock Blues by Eels: Eels' electro-shock therapy: Feel good? ZZZT! Now you don't.

Tue, 28 Mar 2000 22:41:34 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mcphive - For an album as beautiful as "Electro-Shock Blues", it's rather disheartening that it is as difficult to listen to as it is pretty. The Eels' frontman, "E", writes some songs that are delicate, catchy, and plaintive.

Electro-Shock Blues by Eels: Sad songs aren't selling this year

Thu, 20 Jan 2000 05:49:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Y2Cake - For an album so depressing, it really makes you want to listen to it again and again. There's something very addictive about misery. This album by the Eels was one of the best albums of 1998. Behind a shroud of looped hip-hop beats, distorted guitars,...
