Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
The sound of Eels' Electro-Shock Blues, the follow-up to the band's intriguing Beautiful Freak, reflects a year in which leader Mark "E" Everett suffered the loss of his sister to suicide as well as the illness of his mother and other tragedies. The music's hushed, sometimes dark sound and Everett's earnest vocals are often more convincing than his diary-entry lyrics, despite the power and daring inherent in describing illness in alt-pop settings that recall everything from hip-hop to Tom Waits. --Rickey Wright
Entertainment Weekly
Blues is oddly moving and surprisingly accessible.

Dark and some beautiful songs.,
By
This review is from: Electro-Shock Blues (Audio CD)
The sound-songs with many samples and grooves have never compelled me in the eels. It is sometimes a little too much. Unfortunately half of this album are songs like this. Fortunately there are also some very beautiful 'songs'.Songs like Climbing Up To The Moon and Ant Farm are acoustic, slow songwriter higlights on this album. 3 Speed has the best lyrics. A funny song is Last Stop This Town. A fun, uptempo happy song which falls a little out of place but it maybe the best song on the album. Another good eels album.

Blown away,
By Fred "me" (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Electro-Shock Blues (Audio CD)
I was randomly searching through some different bands here on Amazon the other day and I was bored as hell. Basically, I was hoping, praying to come across something that blew me away. After hours of nothing I stumbled across a man named E and his band The Eels. I started the clip of "Going to Your Funeral pt.1" and I had found what I was looking for. I was blown away. I rushed out the buy this CD and listen after listen , the disc holds the intensity that blew me away in the first place. This album, and this band had cured me of my boredom with today's typical musical tundra!!!!

An Underground Classic,

This review is from: Electro-Shock Blues (Audio CD)
If you listen to music other than what is on the radio, you HAVE to try this CD. It is all at once, beautiful, troubling, funny, intense, accessable, and scary.
