THE TUNES OF TWO CITIES

This is part two of The Residents's Mole Trilogy. You may be expecting some insane rock opera-type series. If you're familiar with The Residents, you may be expecting an expansive synth-led orchestrations. But both of these assumptions are incorrect. What you get here is not a continuation of the plot of the first Mole album, but a tangent album that shows the musical tastes of the Chubs and Moles. The Chubs love jazz, and the Moles love industrial and experimental. Now, another assumption you may have is that this is a very diverse and cool Residents album. But again, that is wrong. The music tends to get very monotonous, since the eyeballs use the same 5 or so synths. But some stand out tracks keep me from giving this album a two-star review. "Mousetrap", "Serenade for Missy", and "Smack Your Lips" are all great ones. So not necessary for any reason, but worth a few listens at least.
