5.0 out of 5 stars The Oneida record I've been wanting for so long, August 10, 2009

Every one of their records have given me a little bit of something I liked, but this one finally puts them towards the top of my list of favorite bands. It starts out completely electronic dub and ends as a psych freak out worthy of any Acid Mothers/Can/Amon Duul fan's attention - over the course of 2 hours. Maybe the best part is that the progression feels totally natural. It makes a 3 disc set seem like something that any indie rock band in 2009 should be doing, although I can't name a single other band who could pull it off.

It's probably not the kind of record that fans of Oneida's more concise songwriting will fall in love with. Then again, it's hard to imagine an Oneida fan that can't stomach some ambitious scale. If you like any kind of psych or krautrock you'll probably think this is the second coming.

Rated O is the second of a projected triptych of albums slated from Oneida and i can't imagine them surpassing this. Oneida's new album may not be for everyone but if you like unforgiving sonic and psychedelic exploration and tightly crafted krautrock thrills (tracks 6-9), this won't disappoint. The amazing thing about Rated O is how much new ground they traverse in these songs. But this shouldn't come as a surprise to fans of the band. They have tinkered their brand of music with every album regardless of what fans or slimeball journalists want from them. Buy this album and listen to it alone, the journey will be worth your time.
