Eels - Blinking Lights and Other Revelations @ Halo-17.net On the new double-album, "Blinking Lights and Other Revelations A couple of years on, I still feel justified at the harsh treatment that I doled out to that album, despite all the protests and the hatemail that I received for my review, because it was simply a bad album, bereft of any ideas or spark. Still, after an album this good, it's beginning to look like the previous album was just a temporary hiccough, and I for one, am happy to have E back and writing the good stuff. www.halo-17.net /6418.html   (507 words)

Eels: Blinking Lights and Other Revelations Aversion.com Review Even for E’s fiercely loyal fan base, it may be clear that with Blinking Lights and Other Revelations, he’s taken things a little too far. With a little restraint and a lot of pruning, Blinking Lights could have been a pretty powerful, if totally disjointed, 12-track album. While E’s wandering songwriting gives the album breadth, his constantly shifting aesthetic makes it tough to find a common thread through the album’s 33 songs; making sense of the avalanche of songs is impossible, outside of any insular Eels-as-Eels considerations. www.aversion.com /bands/reviews.cfm?f_id=2024   (493 words)

Blinking Lights and Other Revelations by Eels - NerdSmart.com Overall, Blinking Lights and Other Revelations is a fascinating album. What immediately caught my eye before I heard Blinking Lights and Other Revelations was that it was a double album. The album's several varieties of title track paint even the sight of the blinking lights on the doomed airplane's wings (one of several causes of familial death) as having a sort of bittersweet splendor. www.nerdsmart.com /r-/m-Music/b-301668/a-B0007Y8AMO/Default.aspx   (2045 words)

Amazon.co.uk: Blinking Lights and Other Revelations: Music This is a grown-up album about being a grown-up, and in the years it took to create, Everett has done a lot of growing up, and dealt with a lot of tragedy: his mother died of cancer, his sister committed suicide, and his cousin was on the plane that crashed into the Pentagon on 9/11. Much more akin to Electro-Shock than any of their others I have a feeling that in a year or so this album will be played fairly infrequently, at least in its entirety. E, to write and record Blinking Lights and Other Revelations, but the end result is no less than a masterpiece. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/B0008JF5US   (959 words)

Eels: Blinking Lights and Other Revelations - PopMatters Music Review Blinking Lights and Other Revelations, the new album from Everett's Eels, is a celebration of these small moments that give our lives meaning. E is one of the best songwriters America has to offer, and he has made as personal, poignant, and ultimately redeeming an album that you are ever going to hear. Inspired by the car trip in the Bergman film Wild Strawberries, Blinking Lights took seven years to complete and is meant as a reflection of E's entire life up to this point, which has seen more than its fair share of tragedy. popmatters.com /music/reviews/e/eels-blinking.shtml   (1077 words)

Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Blinking Lights And Other Revelations [Digipak] - Eels at Epinions.com As the song pass by on the first disc, I’m struck at how complete the vision of Blinking Lights is. I wouldn’t say that it’s anything near concise—it meanders in every direction—but Everett has managed to put together a musically cohesive album that has a beginning, middle, and end. Variations on the Theme from Blinking Lights are dispersed throughout the album. That’s right—Blinking Lights is a rock opera, albeit a chaotic and bizarre and not-at-all-linear one. www.epinions.com /content_181354270340   (1267 words)

Eels - Blinking Lights And Other Revelations: Silent Uproar I felt lost in space after my first trip through the new Eels album, thinking that surely the blinking lights referenced those of satellites, floating lonesomely in the dark abyss. Not only did I connect with the album, but throughout the next couple days it beautifully ushered me through my bout of random depression and gently led me to a cathartic conclusion in which a handful of woefully upbeat and seemingly misplaced songs suddenly stood out as being perfectly placed and, well, just right.

RTE.ie Entertainment - Eels - Blinking Lights and Other Revelations 'Blinking Lights and Other Revelations' has more in common with the plaintive refrains of 'Electro-Shock Blues' than the sweet, hard-rocking rage of 'Souljacker' or 'Shootenanny!', but instead of an intimate little set of songs, E has chosen the widescreen canvas of a double album. But the lightness and brevity of many of the tracks prevent the album from feeling too much like an indulgent sprawl.

Eels: Blinking Lights and Other Revelations: one times one review Dreary, low-tempo-ed and storytelling, Lights is an album of everyday life, and the questions and results that follow. With the release of Blinking Lights and Other Revelations (Vagrant, 2005), Eels have transcended downward into a somber, sorrowful state. The upbeat tracks that are a part of the album seem spontaneous, and don’t follow the guidelines that were previously set by the band’s pace. www.onetimesone.com /music-reviews/eels-blinking-lights-other.php   (674 words)

Record Review (Detroit Metro Times) Supergrass continues this trend, with the band again curtailing straight-up punk rock and party interests for a more complex, Revolver -esque moodiness filled with the type of lyrical banter and tongue-in-cheek revelations that come with exacting musical talent and a broadened experience. The album expanded the band’s regular guitar-bass-drums rock attack with deftly produced horn arrangements, numerous organs and strategically placed theremin, favoring pop multidimensionality over the rock-from-the-hip expediency of earlier Britain-meets-Green Day-isms. Similarly, strings are also prominent on Supergrass, accentuating the sense of personal inconsistency and lyrical confusion already pronounced by the undecided rock seesaw of the music. www.metrotimes.com /20/30/Reviews/musBacharach.html   (277 words)

Amazon.com: The Wilde Album: Books Holland has no dramatic revelations or bold new theories to offer, but his narrative serves to remind us all over again of what an extraordinary man his grandfather was--and how much he influenced the art of the 20th century. What makes The Wilde Album ultimately moving, and unique, is Holland's use of rare family photos and personal material. Holland begins by lamenting the dissolution and loss of Wilde's scrapbooks and albums in the debtor sale of the author's entire household. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/080505894X?v=glance   (1530 words)

CanEHdian.com: Gorilla Vodoo Lyrically, this album is foremost an expression of the artist's feelings pertaining to the world around him, and the personal revelations he has come to in the process of self-discovery. Between the album and the literature found on the artist's website, listeners will find that there are many ways of being independent, and that's what Gorilla Vodoo is really about. Overall, melody plays second fiddle to lyric on this album, which may be exactly the message the artist is trying to convey. www.canehdian.com /album/g/gorillavodoo/under.html   (1530 words)

Talkin' Broadway - Sound Advice: 10/16/01 This is one of the few albums that I wished included more patter, as it is filled with gems and revelations about growing up in Hollywood with a famous father, as well as stories about being on the sets of Gordon's movies. I was first introduced to cabaret staple Jeff Harnar through his inspired debut album, The 1959 Broadway Songbook, which features songs from the shows that were performing on Broadway that year (it's another good gift giving idea, by the way). Love Letters is a delightful collection of standards that include a slow, sensual "I Got You Under My Skin," and a more jazz/pop flavored "The Very Thought Of You." Her take on "End Of A Love Affair" is worth the price of the album alone as it illustrates a perfect distillation of heartbreak. www.broadwaycastrecordings.com /nov1501.html   (1530 words)

Metal Reviews - Metal Coven Webzine - Metal Reviews - Borknagar - Epic With every other Borknagar album, a new group of people came together to interpret Øystein Brun's vision of "the yearning moods that entertain fantasy, and call revelations in our minds concerning the ancient past," as was set forth in the band's eponymous debut. In fact, there isn't that much of a difference between this album and the band's last, in terms of sound; every Borknagar album has featured a marked shift from the previous one, but for the first time the shift is almost imperceptible. This is an album that continues both the sonic and conceptual evolutions that started eight years and six albums ago. www.metalcoven.com /review_borknagar_epic.html   (907 words)

Soul Killer And third, this concert was recorded right after their "Revelations" album, and I didn't particularly like that album, so a lot of the songs I'm just not into (although they do play a few old classics such as 'Sothis', 'Silent Empire' and 'Breath Of Centuries' which are good). The album is also for the most part mid paced, and even when the riffs are fast, it just doesn't seem to have much energy to it. The band isn't as tight as on their albums (except for Doc on drums, who's every kick is like a chisel to your gut), but that doesn't detract from the songs. www.soulkillerwebzine.com /v.htm   (907 words)

Colonized CD But it was with the 1968 Revelations album that The New Colony Six demonstrated a mastery of divergent styles equaled perhaps only by The Monkees. The New Colony Six’s four albums stand testimony to their diversity. Not only did the New Colony Six’s music reflect the exuberance of the Beatles, the raunch of The Rolling Stones, and the cocksureness of Fabian, but it boasted superior songwriting and a versatility and originality matched by few rock ‘n’ roll’s varied history. www.ronnierice.com /colonize.htm   (1806 words)

Number of the Beast (numerology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Greek progressive rock band Aphrodite's Child made a concept album "666" based on the Book of Revelations. The gothic metal band Saviour Machine created the Legend album series about the end of times, of which the fifth track of Legend part II is called 'The Mark of the Beast'. Entombed have made an album called DCLXVI - To ride straight and speak the Truth (DCLXVI is the roman number for 666). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Number_of_the_Beast_(numerology)   (3321 words)

RollingStone.com: Hejira : Joni Mitchell : Review But the album is truly held together by the motion of the music, which is as unceasing and hypnotic as the freeways Mitchell describes in her songs. For Hejira, as any glance at the cover or the lyrics will prove, is about the Highway: as a symbol of distance or flight; as a stage for encounters or revelations; as a communal umbilical cord relating separate souls and random experiences.

Eels: Blinking Lights And Other Revelations (2005): Reviews Two albums of E musings is a bit much, but, on the whole, Blinking Lights does stand as a resounding return to form. This seems like a best of album in which all of the songs have been rewritten so that they are far more boring than the originals. Call me crazy, but a good double album is probably one of my favorite things in music. www.metacritic.com /music/artists/eels/blinkinglights   (859 words)

greece1a.htm The album is replete with bible quotes from the Book of Revelations and the end of the world. It is quite an excellent album of spacey guitar prog, that makes you think of things other than the day-to-day. The group seems to have gotten their cue for the album concept from fellow Greeks Aphrodite's Child and their album _666_. gnosis2000.net /progrealaudio/greece1a.htm   (311 words)

Eels: Blinking Lights And Other Revelations (2005): Reviews E is one of the few artists to have the ability to attempt such a vast concept, a whole life spanning an album. Calling an Eels album personal and somber seems redundant, but compared with the guitar-rock discord of the two preceding albums, this return to meticulously crafted pop miniatures seems even more inward-directed. E is one of the best songwriters America has to offer, and he has made as personal, poignant, and ultimately redeeming an album that you are ever going to hear. www.metacritic.com /music/artists/eels/blinkinglights   (755 words)

Reviews Containing one song of this next album, some live songs, re-recorded stuff and 3 songs evoking the Revelations (as the biography says). In fact this is not a new album from this Russian band but a re-release of their 2000 "Songs of the eternal oak" album and their 2001 "Spirit tending to revolt" demo. Aardschok magazine wasn't very positive about this album in their review becuse of the average production quality and the vocal style which should be too brutal for melodic black metal lovers and too melodic for fans of brutal black metal. www.klokradio.nl /powerhour/ReviewsA.htm   (4035 words)
