About Poetry Hi-Fi: The Eels' Electro-Shock Blues - The Phone Call in the Middle of the Night
Poetry Hi-Fi: The Eels' Electro-Shock Blues - The Phone Call in the Middle of the Night- Dale Simms' review: "Less hook-laden than 'Beautiful Freak,' less syrupy than the string arrangements on E's solo stuff, 'Electro-Shock Blues' is neither bluesy (no improvisation/no emotion) nor shocking (no affect). But like the mousy girl with no makeup who parts her mouth just slightly at your glance, that may be the album's ultimate charm."
