| | The Onion A.V. Club Music — Electro-Shock Blues |
 | | Electro-Shock Blues is a true album: It deserves and demands to be heard in its entirety. | | | At its best, Electro-Shock Blues deserves to be mentioned alongside such masterpieces as Big Star's Third/Sister Lovers and The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds as albums that capture the essence of deep, soul-crushing depression on an almost visceral level. | | | But E, the eccentric semi-genius behind the Eels, has, with Electro-Shock Blues, accomplished something pretty rare: an album about death and the tortured guilt and misery of the living that addresses its subjects in a clear-headed, unsentimental fashion. |

| | Amazon.co.uk: Music: Electro Shock Blues |
| | Electro-Shock Blues is a pleasant surprise..I was expecting an entire albums worth of bleak, whiny confessional acoustically strummed pieces with the invention and sprightlyness of their debut album all but gone. | | | Beautiful Freak remains Eels best album in terms of an enjoyable set of songs but Electro-Shock Blues is the bands and more to the point E's most important work..it's a window into his mind, and a closure on a dark period of his life. | | | I love each of the eels's albums but electro shock blues seems to stand out from the other two. |

| | Luna Kafé e-zine - Eels: Electro-Shock Blues |
| | Eels is almost like being a solo project by multi-instrumentalist E. Drummer (and singer) Butch is still an associate, but bass- and French horn-player Tommy left the band after the release of their first album, which has turned the trio into a duo. | | | From song one, Elizabeth on the Bathroom Floor I get the feeling that I've entered a room I shouldn't have come in to, or looking through a window witnessing things beyond my concern. | | | But, there are grades of black, and total darkness isn't much fun. |

| | But the last movement is a shock; as it sounds nothing at all like piano music, one is forced to confront the sheer unconventionality of Beethoven's vision as with 19th-century ears, when hearing it for the first time in this stunningly inappropriate guise. | | | Not that the piano writing is all that extraordinary; the first three movements sound rather like a Beethoven sonata, but without Beethoven's gift for innovative piano technique. | | | Persichetti's Pageant explores similar territory to Grainger's Lincolnshire Posy, Dello Joio's Scenes sounds like the film music it is, and is bold, Romantic and colourful, and Bennett's three pieces are a glorious celebration of Americana - marches, blues, and exuberant celebration. |

| | CNN - The eels delve into death on 'electro-shock blues' - January 21, 1999 |
| | (CNN) -- The eels' "electro-shock blues" is an album that inspires both fervid condolences and wholehearted congratulations. | | | E somewhat bitingly describes "electro-shock blues" as "the party album of the year." In truth, the elastic melodies and deceptively upbeat, sample-happy, tape loop-driven music belie the dismal words, saving the album from emotional overkill. | | | Both should go to E, the California trio's lead singer, who was digging through the emotional sewage left over from his sister's suicide, his mother's battle with terminal cancer, the deaths of several friends and the childhood memory of finding his dad dead of a stroke. |

| | Electro-shock Blues |
| | Electro-shock Blues, The Eels' second full-length album, finds the band looking for life in an often bleak world. | | | Forget sunshine and lollipops, Mark Oliver Everett, the lead singer of the Eels, is more interested in songs that dull the hurting. | | | Electro-shock Blues isn't a record you fall in love with immediately, but stick with it and, like therapy, it eventually becomes something you can't do without. |

| | The fact that you might learn a little something about yourself in the process of listening to it is a bonus. | | | But that's not why you should buy "Electro-shock Blues"; it has great songwriting and craftsmanship. | | | Both records are very honest about the ravages of illness on an individual and on those who love them, yet eventually hopeful about the promise of life; they have helped me make a little more sense of a world that includes senseless pain and loss. |

| | This really is a disgrace, as well as a short-sighted, culturally revisionist nod to contemporary tastes (which do not embrace the preachin' and shoutin' religious side of African-American music). | | | What an ambitious tome -- a music guide for all genres -- rock, pop, blues, jazz, gospel-- you name it. | | | Similar in scope to the All Music Guide, this hefty text includes entries on pop, rock, country, blues, jazz, Broadway and soul musicians, though in this case they are listed together alphabetically, rather than grouped in sections. |

| | RollingStone.com: Electro-Shock Blues : Eels : Review |
| | E, the singer, songwriter and guitarist of Eels, takes that risk on Electro-Shock Blues (see what I mean?) and pulls it off impressively. | | | Sometimes you need to risk parody to get to someplace deep. | | | But E presses into the darkness and finds a sound to suit his subject. |

| | Sticking out from underneath it is a small printed circuit board, with a single capacitor, an IC, and a ribbon cable running from it. | | | Just find a refurbished motor, and replace the whole thing. | | | On mine, the capacitor had leaked blue electrolyte all over the board, and it had eaten away the traces coming from the ribbon connector. |
