Apr 4, 2018The album is somewhat of a musical and philosophical rollercoaster. But that’s all in a day’s work for Everett who adds to his already impressive, uncompromising catalog with another expressive, rugged and diverse gem.
-
UncutMar 29, 2018Predictably overwhelming. [May 2018, p.27]
-
Apr 4, 2018Great moments in great songs ('I love you, there, I said it') still seem to be deep enough waters for EELS to swim.
-
Apr 9, 2018E's gifts as a songwriter and vocalist are still sharp, and if you've ever been partial to Mark Everett's slightly skewed but engagingly literate outlook on the world, then The Deconstruction should meet with your approval.
-
Apr 30, 2018It feels like a career-straddling greatest hits collection in which all the ‘hits’ are brand new.
-
Apr 11, 2018Standout tracks, melancholic interludes and stylistic jumpiness add elements of unpredictability to Everett and co. that they’ve sorely missed. But these same things also make it an overarching mess.
-
Apr 13, 2018The Deconstruction produces no eccentricity, pop smarts, orchestral creativity, or emotional revelation.
