We are not only proud to announce this triple album, but also to share a new podcast in which members of Oneida provide commentary, insight, and explanations into the inner-workings of the O. This podcast, produced by Alex Goldman, contains three songs, "What's Up, Jackal?", "I Will Haunt You", and "Saturday". We know Jagjaguwar hasn't updated ye olde podcaste in a while, but we are making up for it!!! Discover why Rated O is like drinking a 50 gallon drum of molé sauce, how you can figure out when something is "rated O" (hint: you only realize something is "rated O" until "way later"), and under what circumstances Showtime (Shahin Motia of Ex-Models) joined the band.

A Rated O sampler that contains those songs (minus commentary) is now available for free via Emusic and for purchase on Itunes.

The Rated O Gatefold(art by Dan Schechter)

Rated O is a monster which happens to be the crowning achievement of Oneida's storied creative lives. By producing this colossus they have also created the necessity of its destruction—which within the confines of this tremendous accomplishment—they do so handily and with utter fluency. Perhaps Rated O represents the encyclopedic representation of ONEIDA MUSIC, ONEIDA CREATIVITY and ONEIDA INSATIABILITY. As the leviathan rises from the murky depths to endow the idle watch with illusion, disillusionment and mortal terror—thus Oneida leaves a hieroglyphic spume upon the glassy surface of what is KNOWN and UNKNOWN.

The music contained within the covers of Rated O must be seen as a gifted wilderness that when traversed will grant the traveler both a fractured mirror and a demolished and worried pathway deeper into the abyss. This album is an attempt to contain the entirety of Oneida and thus it points the way to infinite rebirth and boundless creativity. It is a finite map and the suggestion of unknown worlds.We finally have in our hands the album that Oneida has
often gestured towards. Ladies and gentlemen, this is one of the greatest triple albums ever recorded.

Long live the O!
