Souljacker
by Eels
The Art of Half-Assedness Part 1
Souljacker is, for the first time, neither depressing or overtly striving to avoid depression, and in so, he has written some of his most beautiful blues to date. Yet Eels have done so in a spirit of thrown-together non-musicianship. |

Fantastic Damage
by El-P
Brutal Planet
In its own dysfunctional way, Fantastic Damage is self-satisfied: there is no conflict going on here, nothing to disturb El-P's (not that original in the first place) concept. |

Ellis Paul - A Study in Perfection
I'm usually up for some good, angry issues rock or loud emo kids yelling about their rotten ex-girlfriends, but there are times when I just want to listen to some actual music...something that isn't obnoxious, but I can still sing along with. |

Elvis: 30 #1 Hits

The King Takes a Bow
All Elvis: 30 #1 Hits is at its core is a well-timed compilation. |

Elvis: Close Up
by Elvis Presley
Big Boss Man: Uncut, Unashamed, Unimpressive
The executives still pimping this stuff as any kind of an essential box set are as disillusioned today as they were then, shooting for hit singles even when the songwriting wasn't up to par. Whittled to a double album is doable. At four, it's so weighed down, it makes for a pretty decorative doorstop. |

ELVIS: Walk a Mile in My Shoes - The Essential 70's Masters
by Elvis Presley
For the Heart
What we end up hearing then, is a comfortable Elvis. What it sometimes lacks in the energy most often associated with the frenetic kid he was at the start is replaced with the power he'd learned to harness near his end. |

The Marshall Mathers LP
by Eminem
Apparently, Eminem Is Whatever I Say He Is... That's a Huge Responsibility
Not a flawless album by any stretch of the imagination, but raw and imperfect like a landmark album should be. |

The Eminem Show
by Eminem
Real Name, No Gimmicks
This time when Eminem exorcizes his demons, we can’t help but feel for the guy. |
