Editorial Reviews
The Oxes are back, and in grand style. After spending time apart getting married in Italy, delivering pizzas, worshipping football great Ray Lewis and perfection the art of "the claw", the Oxes have returned to put their finest tunes to date on tape, their first new recording in three years! Recorded by the Oxes in their fab home studio on the outskirts of Baltimore, the OXES EP is a maddening chunk of rock and roll containing signature Oxes' stadium riffage, drum spills and fills and sense of humor. But, this release is a turning point in the time signatures, guitar leads & solos, off-kilter rhythms and even remixing a song, the Oxes have taken a step in a slightly new direction.

One would be easily forgiven for mistaking these gentlemen for a 1996 era Don Caballero coverband. Not casting judgement here, per se... just calling a spade a spade. The night I saw them play, I was out on the sidewalk in front of the club, talking to some friends. A kinda nerdy looking fella with an old aluminum-necked Kramer guitar equipped with a wireless unit came walking out of the front door and stood and stared blankly at us for a bit as he played on it. It took me a moment to realize that the faint muffled music I heard coming from inside the club was him. We followed him back inside and took in the show. Both of the guitarists had wireless rigs and took this as an opportunity to leave the stage and mingle with the crowd. Not between songs... during songs. I felt bad for the drummer, being left alone on the stage. At one point, the same kid who'd played at us out front got really really close to someone in the audience, invading their personal space and staring them in the face. The audience member laughed nervously and pinched the guitarist's chest. Without missing a beat, the guitarist leaned forward and attempted to bite the person. I thank God I was there to witness all of this.

After being initially impressed by the songs I'm From Hell Open A Windle and And Giraffe Natural Enemies I was surprised to find the rest of the album is mostly weak and dull. They don't really do much, they just have a few blah rock riffs and a bit of dissonant noisyness, but they don't really demonstrate any interesting or good ideas, and the ideas they have really don't go anywhere or warrant the amount of repetition they get. I wanted to like this band but I guess it's not going to happen. I thought the rest of the album would at least be semi interesting, but these songs are bitterly disappointing. They mostly revolve around powerchords and single notes with a bit of noisyness. They don't have any focussed or interesting chord arrangements. The whole thing just feels like a lazy jam session.

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.

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.

Scraggy EP does have its jaggedly aggressive moments but is too limitedly lo-fi in its minimal assaults to retain acute interest

2001, la planète des singes frappeurs
Reviewed in France on March 24, 2011Verified Purchase
Souvent, bien trop souvent, le rock manque cruellement d'une distance qui éviterait de lui gonfler la tête et les chevilles : l'humour. Et je ne parle pas de la pléiade de groupes "festifs" qui prennent au sérieux leurs blagues de potache, niveau zéro degré, ou, pire, leur soi-disant engagement anti-mondialisationflicagecapitalisme. Si Zappa a toujours scruté le reste de la production d'aussi haut, c'est qu'il avait aussi ce don de se moquer de lui-même, de proposer des titres salaces qui ne manquaient jamais de mises en scène flamboyante, de faire de ses concerts garantis sans aucun trucage des spectacles vivants et interactifs ; de laisser l'imprévu débouler.
Comme Shellac, Oxes partage cet humour et cet humilité qui ne les rendent que plus sympathiques. Comme Shellac, ça fonce dans la destructuration, dans le strident, dans le groovy expérimental, le moitié imprévu, moitié prévu. Sauf que c'est deux guitares et une batterie sans personne pour y chanter quoi que ce soit. Pour quoi faire ? Des boeufs, donc, (oxes), qui affirment "Ta rue contre Wall Street" (Your Street vs. Wall Street), pas la peine d'aller plus loin, on a compris, comme le miroir en couverture. Regardez-vous, vous, les boeufs encravatés.
Décrassage d'oreille, aucune pose, aucune affiliation, invention de termes tels que math-rock pour pouvoir parler de leurs productions, voilà ce que veulent Oxes : dérouter. Et bien, j'y retourne avec joie. Et bonne humeur.

相変わらずのかっこよさ
Reviewed in Japan on August 17, 2005Verified Purchase
2枚のアルバムに続いて出されたOXESのミニアルバム。
全5曲計22分ほどと短い収録時間ですが、必聴の1枚です。
プログレ的展開を取り入れた7分を超える大作の①、凄まじくかっこよすぎ
なリズムの②と③、彼らの音のメロディアスな側面を前に押し出した④、
そして大胆にエレクトロニカを導入した⑤と内容めちゃくちゃ濃いです。
彼らが新しい音に進んでいく、その一歩を見出せた様に感じました。
最近は皆とは言いませんが、小細工ばかりに賢しいバンドが多いように
感じます(正直ポストロックという言葉は余り好きじゃないです)。
その中でOXESは本当の底力を感じるバンドですね。まずはどれでも
良いので1枚聴いてほしいです。間違いなく彼らは本物です。

非常におもしろいバンド。ハードコアへの独自の解釈が輝いてます。
ベースがいないのも「それがどうした!」って感じで凄まじく分厚い黒い
音を出してます。
次作の「Oxxxes」に比べ曲の構成が複雑なので、初めの数回はピンとこない
かもしれませんが、曲の大まかな全体像を把握してからは俄然良くなります。
慣れるとこっちのアルバムの方が気に入るかも。
