Odd Fellows Rest is the fifth studio album by American sludge metal band Crowbar, released on July 7, 1998 through Mayhem Records. It was re-released on August 24, 1999 via Spitfire Records, featuring a bonus track.
Kirk Windstein described the album as "the first record where the Crowbar rulebook was thrown out of the window"
The song "Planets Collide" has become a mandatory staple on Crowbar's live setlists. The album was inducted into Decibel Magazine’s Hall of Fame in June of 2017., as it takes a more melodic approach both musically and lyrically. Despite that, the album quickly became a fan-favorite in the NOLA metal scene and the song "Planets Collide" became a permanent staple at every performance.
It is also the first album to feature Acid Bath and Goatwhore guitarist Sammy Duet and is named after the cemetery in New Orleans.
