Comparisons to Mastodon and Baroness’s earlier works are inevitable, and The One and The Many will definitely sate the appetite of those disappointed by the two bands’ recent more restrained, rock-based releases. The One and the Many doesn’t have the hooks or even pop-sensibility you might find in a Baroness or Kylesa song, but that doesn’t stop the album from being accessible."
Alex Choros - MegaphoneOz
"A lot of analogies seem to get thrown at expansive doom bands these days: throbbing oceans, vast deserts, towering monoliths, tipped-over jars of molasses dripping in slow motion over the edges of the countertops of space and time. While some have become clichéd, these obvious comparisons are warranted when a band's music is this incomprehensively huge and thick. Portland's Sioux is most certainly one of these bands, producing music so gargantuan that it offers no easy description. Sioux's forthcoming release The One and the Many contains six tracks of slow and steady doom. All of the tracks clock in under the six-minute mark, so there's no time wasting or pompous atmosphere building—just an abundance of sludgy, two-ton riffs spiced up with some odd, tasty progressions."
Aris Wales - The Portland Mercury
"I don’t believe I’ve heard expansive songwriting of this kind since Baroness’ days of reigning over the progressive sludge genre...In every polished nook and cranny The One and The Many appeals to Clutch, Melvins and Kylesa fans alike. Progressive rhythms and song structures can keep the songs entertaining for jaded musicians while the dazzling melodies draw in average listeners."
Noah Vanderwerf - Headbang n' Buttonmash
March 8th marks the release of The One and The Many, a six-track full-length that separates Sioux from their influences and themselves. Demonstrating both an improved range and an expansion of prowess, this release is more than a step forward. It's a glazed, cosmic bootprint on an already leathered sludge metal landscape.
Seth Grennan - Heavy Planet
Sioux manage to weave a web of soaring vocals, guitar harmonies, slow demanding riffs, eclectic progness, pounding drums into the most amazing tapestry of aural bliss. It’s quite an amazing thing.

"As tough as it (the s/t) was and is, the new one is even stronger. It's basically a continuation towards becoming the heaviest sludge band on the scene and flows seamlessly, building off the foundation poured by the s/t."
Bucky Brown - The Sludgelord
"Sludgy enough to satisfy doom-heads, technical enough to satisfy fans of Mastodon, groovy enough to satisfy those who worship at the altar of the riff..."
Aaron Sharpsteen - ssgmusic.com
"...like cramming The Melvins’ Houdini, Rwake’s Hell is a Door to the Sun, Yob’s The Illusion of Motion, Mastodon’s Remission, High on Fire’s The Art of Self Defense, and the pantheon of Wino albums all into a single disc CD player slot at the same time."
