Oddfellows doesn’t reject anything Tomahawk has done before. It just does it better.
Oddfellows clearly signals a return to the style and spirit of Tomahawk's self-titled debut, and to some extent the highlights of Faith No More's latter days.
It’s reassuring that no matter how stale and bland the musical terrain gets, avant-guardsmen like Patton, Denison, and such remain to flare up on occasion to scorch through it, like a forest fire setting the stage for newness to emerge in its wake.

Bangers on bangers on bangers. Sure, it's not as adventurous as Anonymous or as Mit Gas-y as Mit Gas but this album is another fitting edition in the lexicon of each of these artists' discographies. This record really benefits from the addition of Trevor Dunn on bass, with his rhythms locking perfectly with Stanier's drumming throughout the whole thing. This allows for more room than in the past for Denison's distinctive playing style to really shine. And of course Mike Patton is as ... read more
