Title: This Is a Classic
Product review: This album gives you about three seconds before getting to business. Their business is your pleasure, but it's the pleasure of poking repeatedly at the bruise you got from a girlfriend's bite. Oneida play with all the rock ruthlessness of a band like Lightning Bolt, but with the drawn-out (drone-out?) blissful serial composition of Steve Reich. It's better than that, though. Textures are rough but precise--a sheet of burlap lace. Instruments and equipment collapse, hyperventilate, sputter, and explode smoothly and intuitively. This is rock music! All your Town and Country discs will begin to smell like your grandma's living room. Play it loud and blow yourself up--this is about as good as it gets, friends.
