Amazon.com's Best of 2001 Anthem of the Moon is quite a departure for Oneida. Their last album, the mind-blowing Come On, Everybody, Let's Rock, was the first great unashamedly retro rock & roll record of the 21st century, striking the stance of every hoary old dinosaur from Humble Pie to ZZ Top in its quest for dumb rock nirvana. These Brooklyn-born loft dwellers are a contrary lot, though, and in the year-long interim--during which they rereleased their very likeable Enemy Hogs full-length--Oneida have hung up their leather jackets, turned their backs on the bright lights of New York City, and embraced the arcane rituals and psychedelic reverie of paganism. If its creators are to be believed, the largely excellent Anthem of the Moon was recorded to tape reel amid a circle of ancient stones in the woods of New England. Beyond the rasp of their staple instrument, a wheezing garage-punk organ, the four members of Oneida tear roaring feedback licks from their instruments, drawl half-remembered mystic mantras, and pile on trippy, multitextural instrumental sludge till the bludgeoning "People of the North" and the hypertense two-key organ-thumper "Still Rememberin' Hidin' in the Stones" practically tear at the seams. Oneida might be going back to nature, but the monumentally heavy Anthem of the Moon sure ain't no picnic: this psychedelic reward is only for seasoned, brave sonic explorers. --Louis Pattison Similar CDsSimilarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsThe Mountain Has Moved 09/19/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "This album will be on permanent repeat on your stereo. It is one of the most rockin' jammin' psychedelically delicious albums to come out in a very long time. And hard to believe, it actually matches up to how captiviating they are live. I've got to note that it is also a very dynamic album. Anthem of Moon is a hodgepogde of noise and sounds that weaves a web that will with out a doubt capture you." Big Bill's #14 of 2001 bigbill72 | Cincinnati Ohio | 12/29/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "I don't know what this is or how you would categorize it. All I know is that this CD will launch an attack on you speakers like an American missle on a taliban shelter, leaving your stereo a smoldering fiery mess in your living room. These songs are wierd, but their groovey. They rock hard with twisted Jon Lord syle keyboard riffs and angular guitars. Maybe a cross between Royal Trux and early Uriah Heep would best describe this CD. It's not like their other discs either. If you own C'mon Everybody Lets Rock and heard this CD playing you wouldn't guess it was Oneida. This CD is a statement and defines character. It has an affect on people similar to the way fighting had an affect on Ed Norton Jr. in the movie Fight Club. Take this to work and crank it up in your office. Your boss will be afraid of you. People will complain about you. Some may even stare when you walk by. However, you will gain a few admirers along the way. Your group will be the "in" crowd. People will find you irresistable and want to have sex with you. Your haters will be the old, the weak, the people who are already dead but walking around in stupor because they are afraid to live their lives. These people let the TV think for them. Your followers will be able to think for themselves. They are the idealistic, the young, the beautiful, the free. Which side do you prefer to be on? All this defined in one CD. Buy it." For real? TRAMPLER37 | Memphis, Tennessee United States | 06/18/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "Oneida are four lunatics from the big apple who recently brought their sonic nerve gassing to my city. I didn't like Anthem of the Moon as much as I did Enemy Hogs, which is their second full length. Oneida generally raise a sonic ruckus that's loud and trippy . They Onjure up the spirit of sixties garage bands like the Seeds and the Electric Prunes. They also somewhat mockingly ape seventies hard rock bands like Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple.
When I saw the band at the show they didn't seem like they were being cynical at all, but actually seemed very passionate. They brought to mind a group of extremely talented five year olds with dreams of Rock stardom. Anthem of the Moon is pretty wild for the most part, but sags a bit in the middle. I just have one more thing to say the members of Oney is here to stay." |
