2 stars I'm not sure why The Residents felt that they had to release this album, which is made up of selections from the "God In Three Persons" album, with the droning cowboy poetry removed. The music, in comparison with most of the band's previous releases, just isn't that good. Yeah, there are some weird rhythms and tones in there, but anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of the synthesizers of the mid eighties has a pretty good idea of how just about every sound was created. It just doesn't have that awe inspiring production that we had become used to from the eyeball guys.

Sure, their weaving of the psalm Holy Holy Holy into some of the songs is mildly clever, but only mildly. The two albums of "God In Three Persons" both leave me yearning for much more.

Evolver | 2/5 |
