Music reviews of Oxxxes

Music Review: Love It Or Love It
Rating: 5 Stars

Haven't heard it? Come, my friend. Join us, the throngs of empassioned Ox supporters who thrive under the Baltimore trio's torrential downpour of guilty aural pleasures. Sure, maybe you thought that screaming gorilla-sized riffs went out with the onset of the new millenium, by I can assure you that OXXXES will make you drop your Joy Division records as well as your pants, and dance to the sound of freedom. Meticulously alternating between hurling jagged boulders of dual-guitar rock and slinky, club-style dance beats at your ears, guitarists Natale and Marco and drummer Handsome will leave you bewildered on the dance floor, not knowing if its time to headbang or thrust your unit.

But fear not, however, fair listener, for if ever there was a band in favor of throwing caution to the wind and hurling one's body onto the traintracks of appropriateness, it is Oxes. Known as Baltimore's reigning kings of shock, the cd artwork for OXXXES is, in fact, altered to reflect the will of those pictured on it-- due to the pornographic nature of the LP version of the album, protests formed almost instantly after its release, leading Monitor Records to change the cd artwork into a photo-retelling of the protests against the LP.

So let go and join the masses. Its the easiest album to listen to that you'll ever own-- headbanging, stage diving, grinding, booty tossing-- its all appropriate while listening to OXXXES, and only the foolish will pass it up. So please, take this reviewer's plea to heart-- buy it. Play it. Shake it. It all works.
