Review #164!

What The Residents are doing here is redefining the word 'cover'. An Elvis cover album chock-full of mysterious, dark renditions of his hits, with very Residenty interludes splotched throughout the album ('The Baby King', 1-5). Although some songs feel a bit drowned out and dull, the majority of them are delightfully dark, and full of some of the best 80's Residents synth themes. Some of these songs are: 'Teddy Bear', 'Love Me Tender', and 'Heartbreak Hotel'. Overall, this album is a great album in The Reidents's career, and a good conclusion to mark the end of an era for the band (the following one being the multimedia era). Prog on!
