Alternative PressFresh, funny and unpredictable. [Apr 2002, p.72]
-
MagnetThe whole album rocks. [#53, p.74]
-
More than just a sick joke, Souljacker is a rocking, thought-provoking journey.
-
The group's most spirited and rock-oriented record to date.
-
From the blues-based grit and spit of the opening track to the messy distortion throughout, Souljacker launches an all-out attack on familiar Eels themes -- insecurity, loneliness, despair -- but this time from a more universal standpoint.
-
BlenderStrange stuff, but oddly appealing. [Feb/Mar 2002, p.111]
-
The whole back half of Souljacker drops into a range between plain bad and plain vanilla with only the occasional standard deviation above musically amusing.
