This album is the first published example of two things for which The Residents became known: the concept album and music about music. Considered by some to be the cornerstone of The Residents' reputation.

All these bizarrely unique tracks are served up dripping with a deliberate eccentricity and a playfully grotesque sense of humor. Listening to this music, you can feel The Residents staring straight out at you, their teeth bared in the kind of fixed grin that’s ordinarily symptomatic of clinical dementia.

The music is full of many rich and varied themes. Its juxtaposition of the sad, the beautiful, and the unusual, creates deep emotional currents that with proper navigation will lead you to interesting places. There is an innocence about this album that lays aside all pretense and bears open their soul.

Fingerprince was an important transitional album for The Residents. It bridged the gap between their early, primitive music and virtually all the original compositions the band would eventually create.

This album stands out in contrast to The Residents’ earlier albums. The songs are short and concise. The misty veil has been lifted, revealing clear lyrics which are well crafted to a fanciful perfection. The music, complex and commanding, cooperates with the lyrics to create a most startling and vivid world.

Created over a period of three years, Eskimo was unlike anything anyone had heard before. Instead of an album made up of songs, The Residents produced a series of acoustic landscapes: each track is the sound of a story taking place, rather than the traditional song telling a story.

The Commercial Album is another manifestation of The Residents' whimsical relationship with pop music and their interest in music about music. The album is a collection of forty one-minute commercial songs -- their very own personal Top 40, or perhaps a collection of one-minute jingles: the music of commercials.

The Residents’ final work of their synthesizer era is Mark of the Mole, a terrifying electronic epic of a unique culture, the Mohelmot, who have been driven from their underground home by a massive storm.

The Tunes of Two Cities is Part Two of The Mole Trilogy. It collects and contrasts examples of the music of the Mole and Chub cultures. The tracks alternate between the fluffy, Art Deco music of the superficial Chubs and the dark, tribal music of the Moles.

The music on The Big Bubble is a synthesis of the Mole and Chub music found on The Tunes of Two Cities, performed using traditional Rock music instruments.

Intermission collects the opening, closing, and intermission music from The Mole Show. This music was written especially for the touring performance, though it was played off of a tape rather than performed live.

Though some of the Bible is abysmal and boring, much of it is entertaining and important reading. The Residents have tackled this book in all its complexity without the responsibility of the scholar.

When Bob was asked whether he held his tongue because he was a fool or for want of words, he replied "A fool cannot hold his tongue". (Plutarch A.D.46 - A.D.c.120)

For The Voice of Midnight, The Residents have adapted a short story, Der Sandmann, by Prussian writer E.T.A. Hoffman. The story was first published 190 years ago.

As they produced their story of sexual compulsion, their impromptu recordings of street musicians, church bells and a small traveling circus soon made it into their electronic pieces. The circus had especially captured their attention with its strong Felliniesque presence.

Animal Lover is a major piece, and in my humble opinion, will stand alongside G3P, 3rd R, MOTM and DDA as essential must-haves of The Residents canon.

The band had a new sound -- clean and crisp, playing their instruments with precise professionalism. The sung and spoken words were enunciated clearly and the audience was expected to follow the text as the story is being told to the audience.

The album explores the personalities of nine characters and their "rather strange outlooks on life".

The album became a series of “short stories” told against a backdrop of unpredictable riffs. The tracks dwell in the land of the subconscious, like fragments of thoughts that are replaced by new thoughts before ever being completed.

Rather than put out a "greatest hits" album, the group took many of their best-known songs and ground them together, producing half-breed mutations.

Falling in the direction of a ritualized, primitive free jazz, some will find THE UGHS startling and unpleasant, while others will appreciate the humanity and beauty underlying its rough surface.
