    "Earth to Dora" has that classic Eels sound, the sweet, dreamy almost sleepy pop but with the indie edge lurking just under the surface. It has been over a decade since their last truly great record 2009's "Hombre Lobo" but as always there is more good than bad on every Eels album. This album doesn't add much to the Eels legacy but it has their comforting sound that I could listen to"Earth to Dora" has that classic Eels sound, the sweet, dreamy almost sleepy pop but with the indie edge lurking just under the surface.

    It's back to the roots for Mark Oliver Everett, known by the stage name E. This album has an authentic Eels vibe to it like Daisies of the Galaxy and Blinking lights and other revelations. In other words it sounds like Eels in it's heyday. This is the album I was waiting for for a few of years now absolutely amazing!

    Earth To Dora is very much a turn up the volume, open the windows and let everyone enjoy it type of record.

    The melodies are sweet and the lyrics still bear his adult-child cartoon whimsy, but there's a dark optimism beneath it all. [Dec 2020, p.81]

    Earth To Dora finds him in a relatively peaceful place – and it will have a similarly calming effect on Eels fans too. More than 20 years on, this band are still very good at what they do.
