The Quietus
This is precisely what music in the 21st century should be sounding like, the aural equivalent of the silver suits and food pills that we should be wearing and consuming by now

The Sunday Times
The group’s songwriter, Stephin Merritt, takes us through countless genres in nearly three hours of music. It’s an extraordinary achievement.

Maybe you've got some other Brooklyn band pegged as your creative north star-- and that's cool, this year has some contenders-- but Oneida are the only band running that I could tell a listener with a straight face, yes, it's worth three discs, and it's worth your time

Clash
Considering the whole affair actually lasts a fairly palatable two hours (the necessity of three discs apparently justified by the different aspects of the band’s sound), ‘Rated O’ could well be considered the quintessential Oneida album.
