Product Description

From Amazon.com

Head Eel Mark "E" Everett purges his soul with a smile on Shootenanny!, as he delivers bursts of bittersweet wit and lighthearted drama. Unlike solemn 1996 epic Electro-Shock Blues and 2001’s thorny Souljacker, E's songwriting here puts the emphasis on light melodies and clean pop craft. While his limber genre-jumping often earns comparisons to Beck, there's also some of Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy in E’s razor-burn voice. And though Shootenanny! isn’t out on Yankee Hotel Foxtrot’s experimental ledge, it has a similar unruly twang that injects a dose of whimsy into soul-searching songs like "Love of the Loveless." "Wrong About Bobby," for instance, glides along on sunny, jangling guitars while E tries and fails to forgive a violent grudge. By mixing sweet with sour, E's warm and fuzzy mope rock sounds great whether it's blasting out of a convertible on a sunny day or playing in the background on a rainy night. --Matthew Cooke

Chronique amazon.fr

Cinquième opus des Californiens de Eels, Shootenanny! offre à l'auditeur un résumé pertinent des précédentes étapes du groupe. Les premières mesures laissent penser que les ambiances rock et bancales du précédent album Souljacker seront à nouveau à l'honneur. C'est le cas. Mais pas seulement. Au fil du disque, se rappellent également à nos bons souvenirs les vibrations folk hautement mélancoliques de Daisies Of The Galaxy ou la pop mutine et fièrement carrossée qui avait placé Mark Olivier Everett (E) et ses acolytes en orbite dès leur premier essai discographique en 1996 (Beautiful Freak et son fameux single "Novocaine For The Soul"). Mis en boîte live, en une dizaine de jours et entre amis (Lisa Germano est de la partie), Shootenanny! fleure bon la recherche de plaisirs simples, quitte à ce que l'on ait parfois l'impression que le pilote automatique a été enclenché. Par contre, quand E affûte ses armes mélodiques, c'est à de véritables petites perles que l'on a droit, portées par une très belle voix, plus rocailleuse qu'à l'accoutumée. "The Good Old Days", "Love Of The Loveless", "Lone Wolf" ou le torturé "Agony" iront sans problème rejoindre les précédents classiques du groupe et font de ce Shootenanny! un bon cru. --Fabrice Privé

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointment abounds, Aug 17 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Shootenanny! (Audio CD)
I liked the song Saturday Morning, and I read a couple of great reviews of this CD. But I hated this CD. The lyrics are bland and uninpiring, the music is equally boring, and the vocals are sub-par.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not quite up to snuff with their others., Jun 7 2004
By 
Daniel Martin "dantheduckman" (Worthington, WV United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shootenanny! (Audio CD)
The songs are great, the lyrics are great, the album is great... just not as great as the others. All of their albums so far have received 5 stars by me, until this one. Some of the songs seem out of place. It was refreshing to see some of the songs recapture the sound that was discovered on E's solo albums, but even this can't bump it up to a five.

5.0 out of 5 stars Different than other Eels but give it a chance!, April 30 2004
By 
S. Addison Wilhite (Reno, NV United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Shootenanny! (Audio CD)
With Shootenanny, E seems to have moved away from some of the tinker toy sound effects found on the first 3 albums and gone for what is essentially a bluesy rock vibe. I love the earlier albums, but the more you listen to Shootenanny the more you appreciate it. The catchy melodies are there with a darker edge. And some of the usual lyrical humor as well. This album needs to be listened to 20 times before the true beauty shines through. Unfortunately in this day 'n' age few people (or critics?) are willing to give an album time to work its magic. Shootenanny may not be immediately catchy. But it ranks as one of their best albums if not THE best. Cheers...
