"Souljacker is a great addition to anyone's CD collection. The CD starts out with an interesting sound that seems as though it's gonna be a hard-rockin cd. Dog faced boy has some catchy guitar rifs, but the Eels really flex their odd flavor in the more mellow songs such as woman driving, man sleeping, which has an excellent acoustic soud. The best song on the album by far though is Bus Stop Boxer. The lyrics are just amazingly writen and composed. Highly recomend this cd to anyone who's looking for something great that is different from any other cd's."

"( this review is for the American release )



This album borders between comical lucidity and delusionary discourse. E's writing has a style of its own, with a cynical wisdom that can penetrate your soul. Soul Jacker digs into the shadows and brings to light a series of songs that are sexy and provocative.

Some highlights: Woman Driving Man Sleeping (Excellent!), Friendly Ghost (Fav), Bus Stop Boxer

Some songs like That's Not Really Funny, World of S#it, and Jungle Telegraph are lush with experimentalism -- concoctions of overlapping sounds and quirky instrumentation that reveal a certain creative genius, something we've come to expect from the songwriter called E.



A few of the songs veer into tedium (Teenage Witch, Soul Jacker partII ), but not at the expense of an innovation that sets E's work apart from the masses.



A worthy addition to the Eels discography and must buy for his fans."
