killer who claimed to steal the souls of his
victims, and dedicated to Life's lost, this fourth
visit to E's deadpan world is slyer, more awkward,
beautiful and odd than anything he's done since
"Novocain For The Soul" established him as the
ultimate geek back in 1996. Depicting all manner
of tragic misfits from teenage witches ("Teenage
Witch") to the desperately lonely ("Friendly
Ghost"),Souljackershould be a depressing listen.
But after the fantastically ramshackle soundtrack
of dirty guitars, cosy strings and ambling break
beats, E's greatest gift is the ability to spike
the saddest tale with a twisted turn of phrase. Be
it "World Of Shit"'s backhanded compliment: "In
this world of shit / baby you are it", the
desperate "Mum won't shave me / Jesus can't save
me" of "Dog Faced Boy" or his retort to his
girlfriend's mocking of his manhood "You say a lot
of funny things my little bunny / and I almost
always laugh / but that's not really funny" the
darkest tales are his most amusing. A lo-fi
masterpiece, with plenty to laugh and cry
about,Souljackerconfirms E as the undisputed king
of geek-dom and a bona fide musical genius. --Dan

WHERE IT ALL WENT WRONG

Advantages: a couple of good songs to remind of past glories
Disadvantages: very mediocre compared to previous output

Eels are vocalist and multi instrumentalist E and drummer Butch.They have been the only constant members of the Eels lineup.The band's debut 'Beautiful Freak' is something of a classic and spawned hit singles 'Susan's House' and 'Novocaine for the soul'.The follow up 'Electro-shock blues' was a darker affair concerned with death,disease and suicide, but married such grim lyrical matter to pop melodies.Their thrid album 'Daisies of the galaxy' was ...
...'Flyswatter' and 'Mr E' Beautiful Blues'.Despite having UK top 40 hits with a number of singles the band never gained as big a profile as you might have imagined until 'Daisies of the galaxy' which saw them appear on Top of the Pops, CD:UK and also play a mainstage set at the Reading Festival.Therefore 'Souljacker' was an important record.It would either ease them further into the mainstream or send them back to the margins of rock.

Would You Lift Your Car With This

Advantages: Good songs mainly
Disadvantages: New direction not immediately appealing, a few less great moments

. * Woman Driving, Man Sleeping * Probably the best ballad eels have ever recorded, it’s a fairly simple song from a musical perspective. Just an electro acoustic guitar, subtle strings and a drumbeat for most of the song. This provides the backing for a lyrical story. Sometimes it’s telling the sad tale of a woman driving alone in “a little metal box under the stars” and other suitable metaphors for late night journeys. Other times it’s more upbeat as we get to peer into the mans dreams. Simple but very effective. * Souljacker part 1* A restrained yet slightly funky intro moves the pace back up for Souljacker part 1. It’s not long though until E shouts “Ah yee” and blues guitars rip in. Throw in an almost atonal guitar solo and you have a strange blues song. Lyrically it’s once ...

Review of Souljacker - The Eels

The Soul of the Freaks, Blues and Daisies

Advantages: A mixture of good sounds | Excellent lyrics once more
Disadvantages: Some weak tracks

First there was the birth of the Eels with Beautiful Freak. A bunch of quirky, rocky little tunes that got them noticed for the first time. Then there was the funeral when things took a turn to the darkside with Electro-shock Blues. Daisies of the Galaxy was the wake, stepping out of the shadows and into the bright sunshine. So what would we class Souljacker as? Well the calling it the marriage seems suitable as E himself got himself hitched whilst recording this album. This unconventional path of life has been rewarding to the fans so far and seems to carry on with the latest album. Souljacker is a mix of heavy rock and gentle love songs. The rock is sometimes raw and often harsh in mood and tone, linking to the Electro-shock Blue phase. The gentle love songs are obviously inspiration from his wife. They make up quite ...

Review of Souljacker - The Eels

World Of Shit

Advantages: Superior lo-fi
Disadvantages: Superior lo-fi

Souljacker is Mark ‘E’ Everett’s fourth album proper under the guise of Eels and he has again produced a masterpiece. Strangely for an American bad Eels have been pretty productive over the years and this is their third album in a year and a half. But the quality does not suffer due to the productivity of the man called E. For those of you who don’t know Eels (which begs the question, "why are you reading a review of their new album"), they are a lo-fi American indie band. Everyone’s heard Novocain For The Soul and possibly Mr E’s Beautiful Blues (uh-hu). E has gained the reputation for being the most unlucky man in rock over the years after a string of personal tragedies that inspired the dark (but wonderful) Electro-Shock Blues back in 1998, which may not seem like a long time ago, but in those ...

UK limited editon includes a four-track second CD.
Album Reviews Rolling Stone (3/28/02, p.70) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...A hard-looking, no-holds-barred look at the moral bankruptcy of society at large....Over squalling guitars, fuzzy surf lines, loping break beats and lush strings, E spins tales of small-town misfits searching for meaning in a media-driven world..."
Entertainment Weekly (3/22/02, p.110) - "...Artfully skewed...the darkness is strangely joyous..." - Rating: B+
Alternative Press (4/02, p.72) - 8 out of 10 - "...Frontman E lightens his subject matter-but not his touch....You get surly rock jams glorifying social outcasts. You get lo-fi beats underlaid with sublime orchestration....SOULJACKER is fresh, funny and unpredictable..."
CMJ (3/11/02, p.4) - "...E shows his fondness for mutating several styles at once...part caustic blues, part cabaret song and a dash of chaos....It'd be fitting as a centerpiece for a David Lynch film just before normalcy gets up-ended and things go down a surreal, strobe-lit path to psychosis..."
