Reviews
All Music Guide Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine:

Oxymoron is one of many cheap indie-label collections of alternate takes, live cuts and outtakes that clutter the Fall's discography. There is some good music buried in here, somewhere, but only hardcore fans could be bothered to dig it out.
