Tried to get into them, couldn't.
Snakefinger was better than the whole group.

Can't say I care for either of those. Sounds kinda corny IMO. Pales in comparison to their early work. The fact that they weren't really musicians worked to their advantage on their 70s and 80s work and yielded interesting and unique results. Now they sound like they have at least a competent understanding of music and better equipment so they can make stuff that's just "lolsorandom!" but as a result it's just dry and boring synth music with a shit vocalist.

They kinda fell off in the 2000's, but I think they're coming back. The Ghost of Hope was pretty good imo. I they've always had pretty depressing undertones (Duckstab, Not Available), but I think they're trying for the depressing shit on the ghost of hope, because it's a fucking album about people dying in train wrecks. That's not exactly a very happy topic. There's an interview out there where Homer Flynn talks about why they chose train wrecks. Apparently one of them just really likes trains, and they've been wanting to do a train related album for a while. They just chose train wrecks, because it was kinda edgy and it narrowed it down to a topic they could actually write an album's worth of songs on.

their last good album was the bunny boy

I don't know what you mean by it sounding random, it sounds like Randy is getting old and is drifting towards a Roger Waters esqe Final Cut sound with Mush-Room and the Ghost of Hope. It's a step up from their 2000's work imo from what I've listened of it.

you should listen to mushroom, it's got a lot of that piano that made early residents special. It's also got the same kind of sad sound Ghost of Hope has

Sorry, I meant to say it doesn't sound as random as their early material. I see where you're coming from with the Roger Waters comparison though. It just doesn't do much for me sadly.

I love Tweedles. Ghost of Hope is alright, but I only really like Killed at a Crossing.

I gotta say that I haven't really paid much attention to them since the mid 80s.

My bad. Heard some of Wormwood, and thought it was decent enough, though.

Its too bad early 80's residents and early 80's david byrne never worked together

they should do a full album with whoever that woman is who sings on demons dance alone cause they're much better without randy's voice pooing everything up
