Today's lame attempt at a review is The Residents' album Meet The Residents

Awhile back Frown had asked me if I liked any experimental music. I had never really listened to experimental music before, so I said Primus. Frown then showed me this band.

Boots - I have no clue what the fuck is happening but I like it. Shit this is weird and amazing.

Numb Erone - This is interesting in the weirdness

Guylum Bardot - And it continues into this song.

Breath and Length - I'm frightened...

Consuelo's Departure - I oddly enjoy this. It's weird and fun.

Smelly Tongues - The problem with reviewing this is I find this album hard to describe, and I'm running out of ways to say the album is weird.

Rest Aria - Ok, things have a dramatic shift when the music takes on a more traditional piano sound. This track isn't what you would call traditional, but it's so far the closest thing the album has presented. This might be my favorite track so far.

Song fades out with what sounds like a sax.

Skratz - Here we are given a hi-hat playing over a spoken word with some instrument in the background.

Spotted Pinto Bean - This song starts with a horrible piano. Ok, this song is just annoying. I can do without this.

Infant Tango - Has a Funk vibe with with some horns playing on top of it... Track has a fun interesting vibe. I dig.

Seasoned Greetings - It feels like these song here at the end are a parody of more traditional songwriting.

N-ER-GEE (Crisis Blues) - And right into the weird music. I'm enjoying this.

Final thoughts: I get the feeling like this album was never meant to be taken sseriously. It was a small group of guys getting to get her and having some fun. And frankly, it shows in the music and allows the music be so much more enjoyable.

☆☆☆1/2

The G1 Special in USA is up so I'm going to go watch that.
