How does The Residents's crazed, concrete-esque debut effort hold up? How does it compare to its follow-up? And just who the heck was N. Senada??? As for this firestarter, all I can say is good job

I'm enjoying these recent threads about particular albums. As for this one it gets the thumbs up from me. Nowadays I listen to Third Reich more so Meet the Residents is probably due for a listen from me soon.

Compared to the so-called "Warner Brothers Album" and "Baby Sex", two officially unreleased albums preceding the proper debut of Meet The Residents, MTR is amazingly accomplished. They achieved a fairly sophisticated avant garde form seemingly out of nowhere. The album gets better with age, for me. It's now possibly my favorite of their albums. It was also the first one I bought, back when it first got reissued on vinyl (pre-CD). It was a bit too strange for me back then. I guess I wanted it to "rock" more, even though I supposedly knew what I was getting into when I bought it (or thought I did). Later on, the CD Age brought us a nice compilation on Ryko called "Hell!" that eased me into the Residents' world more easily. As for Meet the Residents nowadays,I can't even detect a single weak spot. If anyone is still making albums that sound like this, I want to know. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

| Meet The Residents ...although very good, is not my favorite. I am more hung up on Not Available and Mark Of The Mole/Tunes Of Two Cities. There was an EP I owned in the 80's which featured a sick parody of "Old MacDonald"....(I think?), ...can't recall the title of the EP and can't locate it on a cd release either as bonus tracks or just the EP itself. |

Not Available and Mark of the Mole are definitely in my top 5 Residents albums too. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |
