MEET THE RESIDENTS

Delightful and weird, this record is almost sure to induce laughter the first time you hear it. As a matter of fact, I still can't listen to it without laughing. It's hard to tell whether the Residents are inspired geniuses or talentless hacks, but at this point I really don't think it matters. The bizarre collage of off kilter melodies, found sounds and covers of classic tunes such as These Boots are Made For Walking and Nobody But Me are something you will either love or hate depending on your sense of humor. Recommended to the adventurous.
