i actually think its quite overrated and pretentious

>I don't know what pretentious means
>>73733562
>>73733860
this is a full list of acceptable opinions on this album
>>73733562
No but it might be one of the best. Maybe top 50.
>>73733562
So what exactly is this, isn't it supposed to be some sort of rock opera?
>>73733893
Don't start with this bullshit. The Residents are absolutely questionably pretentious.
>>73734374
Indeed
>>73734374
>absolutely questionably
Don't be so obvious
>>73734350
some sort is definitely the right words to describe this album
one of the greatest works of art in rock music history are also fitting words
>>73734491
Absolutely questionably pretentious.
>>73734491
why come
are you not absolutely questionably pretentious?
>>73733562
what is it?
>>73734958
it's on the album cover and the in filename. The Residents- Not Available
>>73733562
Its too fuckin weird for me, I haven't been able to sit through the whole thing.
>>73733562
I always revisit it every once in a while. One of my personal 10/10s.

>Its too fuckin weird for me
How? It's probably the most accessible Residents release.
that one song sounds like tubular bells and I always thought it was sampled for it but I guess im retarded
>>73735024
Duck Stab / Buster & Glen and The Third Reich 'n Roll are definitely weirder. And how exactly were you not able to sit through the whole album? It's cathartically beautiful and not just the music, but the lyrics too.
>>73736190
Those are Duck stab and the commercial album.
I think we can all agree that the Commercial album is their most accessible one. Give Not Available another try >>73735024. You're missing out.
>>73736779
That and demons dance alone. By far the most accesible one. More than commercial.
>>73736729
I don't know what you mean by "Weirder".
The two albums you mentioned are the most easily accessible Residents album I know of.
In fact, those two albums are usually most people's introduction to The Residents.
Not Available is a great album, but not one I'd gravitate more immediately.
I think Meet The Residents is weirder than any of the albums I have listed.

>I think Meet The Residents is weirder than any of the albums I have listed.
And it's also not very good, as they were still searching for their sound and approach.
i don't think residents made an album over a 7/10
cool concept but lots of hit and misses in each album.
>>73737162
To be fair they where more about concept rather than execution.
Demons dance alone could've been a 10 if it sounded and felt more like it did in the live version.

It's the typical 'people mistake lol so random for experimental'
>>73733562
I think it is DEFINITELY ONE of the best albums ever made.
My all-time favorite experimental record.
Too bad 95% of /mu/ have not listened to it nor will ever.
Missing out.
>>73733562
i always was like "no one knows the residents!"
>there's a thread every week about the residents
never die, /mu/, now make a thread about green jello
