If that's not the epitome of the ...Arty Piece of **** flushed down a wormhole, then I don't know what is.

Interesting haha. I've checked out The Residents at various points in the past, never found a full album I liked from start to finish but there are always at least 1-2 tracks that really stand out.
Either way, the biggest piece of artsy sh1t in my collection has to be this one
Autechre - Confield
I picked it up back in the early 2000s when IDM was still new and snare rushes sounded fresh. I'd heard some Autechre prior to this, mainly remixes, and enjoyed it, reviews pegged this one as their most complex and challenging release at the time. Being a pretentious douche I took those comments as points of pride, only someone with an ear as refined as mine could handle that challenging complexity...
Yeah, no, it just sucks.
