Product Description

"Preteen Weaponry" has three parts and is meant to be listened to all at once, in order. It's almost entirely instrumental and contains captured improvisational moments married with craft. Consider Oneida the bastard child of a Can/Suicide marriage; a band unafraid to pluck, tap, bend, synth, or crash their way to the various extremes of rock, pop, folk, and the avant-garde.

Customer Reviews

Oneida - Preteen Weaponry
Preteen Weaponry (2008, Jagjaguwar) Oneida's ninth studio album. ***

The unfortunate part of Oneida's latest album is that it makes the following statement even more true; you need to experience them live to be able to enjoy the album. Not only that, but you'd have to be a fan. And since more than 95% of Preteen Weaponry is instrumental, it's a bit difficult to sit through. Is it boring? Not quite. Oneida are able to keep you interested for a certain period, but once you get past the fact that the first part of this three track album is basically a fourteen-minute buildup which leads into another long sequence of a buildup that ultimately goes nowhere, you wonder what Oneida are trying to get at. I can't recommend it, but at the same time I'm wary of saying that they're not onto anything. For fans and the ultra-curious.

Great record
Instrumental or not, this is far from boring. Ever evolving Krauty songs. NOT jams. Heavy sounds, but light on it's feet.
