4 stars This is The Resident's DVD for people who have short attention spans yet don't want a passive DVD viewing experience. You basically get four options for viewing it - 1. Enter the Maze, this option gives you sort of a hybrid video game/DVD experience. It's a three dimensional maze you navigate through to watch the each of the videos. 2. Artist Index, allows you to pick videos by artist. 3. Song Index, same as two except by song, of course. 4. Play All, well, the last one is for those who have a short attention span and want a passive DVD viewing experience.

This DVD is based on the CD of the same name from 1980. The videos are by a variety of guest artists, with some duplicates by The Residents themselves.

Four of the videos are in New York's Museum of Modern Art permanent collection and also appeared on their VHS release Video Voodoo Volume I.

Recommended for the demented.
