Totally brilliant, mind-meltingly good, and as different from Secret Wars as possible, except that both of these albums could change your life. |

It is easily the band’s most accomplished, interesting record, a record that will simultaneously alienate stodgy diehard “fans” and attract a new group of listeners to the band. |

The Wedding is certainly a new direction in some ways, but it’s still the same brainiac rock that Oneida has been dishing out for the past eight years. |

The Wedding is certainly one of the best records this band has released and, more important, one of the better rock records released this year. |

The Wedding has some slow tracks, but they’re greatly outnumbered by winners that leap over a baffling range of musical styles. |

More proof that cohesiveness is overrated, and that Oneida's mellow will not be harshed. |
