4.0 out of 5 stars Nice., November 10, 2005

This review is from: Oxes (Audio CD)

As with all things the Oxes do, this kicks butt, especially the first two tracks. It's a blast to hear Marc bust out the slide on track 2 like that. The final track is actually a funny little dance number. If you enjoy loud, phrenetic rock, the first two tracks alone make this album a must.

P.S. - See them live. Anything outside a Melt Banana or Lightning Bolt show will seem like crap in comparison afterwards.

3.0 out of 5 stars An interesting follow-up..., July 3, 2006

This review is from: Oxes (Audio CD)

After listening to and being a huge fan of the Oxes self-titled (2000), I bought this EP to see where the band was at 5 years later.

Oxes are definately in a different place and trying new things on this EP; perhaps exploiting the awesome, heavy riffs and that have defined them all along. What I do find lacking is the strange, off-beat time signatures that (in part) made Oxes Self-titled such an incredible record.

I suggest that anyone new to Oxes buy the self-titled first, as it is the essential Oxes record. If you need more, and think that ZZ-Top rocks (yes I think there are some similarities), pick this up as well. It will be interesting to see what comes from Oxes next.
