Oneida - Preteen Weaponry

My review of Oneida’s Preteen Weaponry ran today in the Boston Phoenix.
It’s a three-part, thirty-nine minute instrumental piece modeled after the band’s live shows. It certainly has an improvisational feel to it. It’s an enjoyable listen; the kraut-inspired beats and organ rhythms are really hypnotic. Overall, it’s not really anything new or truly exciting.
Hopefully the next entry in the Thank Your Parents trilogy will kick things up a notch.

The next entry is tentatively titled Rated O. I’m not sure if a triple album is a really wise move, but hopefully they change things up a bit.
Something like The Wedding might be effective, if interspersed with the kind of droning improvisation that Preteen Weaponry was loaded with.
