Edited 3 years agoI've tried listening to this album multiple times on Youtube and never really got into it. But just recently I found this version on vinyl and it has a different effect on me when playing it loud in a room than listening to it on headphones. I _love_ Renaldo & The Loaf and was always a little disappointed in myself for never getting into The Residents. They're almost a little too abstract for my tastes. But their goal on "Meet The Residents" is crystal clear: take the bones of popular music and deform them in ways that bring out their rhythmic and melodic properties, forcing the listener to reconsider the very nature of music. In that, they're more akin to the modern American composers of the early 20th century. I do hear the influences of Captain Beefheart here, as well as the seeds of Tom Waits. I'm not sure I'll ever be a true Residents fan, but there is something undeniably iconoclastic about this 1974 release (if the original cover art wasn't idol-smashing enough!).
