The Residents - Dont Be Cruel

baldyken

Review by Ken Wolff

The album "Don't Be Cruel" by Residents is an interesting blend of electronic sounds, rock and roll, and experimental music. The band's unique approach to music is evident in the album's tracks, which range from upbeat and catchy to eerie and unsettling.

One standout track is "The Thing About Them," which features a driving beat and haunting vocals that create a sense of unease. Another highlight is "Blue Rosebuds," which has a dreamy, ethereal quality that is both beautiful and haunting.

I love the fact that randy has that Shreveport accent but still manages to put an exaggeration on his country twang here lol
Every song the Residents covered was better than the original
not their best ~
Bullshit
I am...so confused. This might well be the most surreal "video" I've ever seen. I either need to go back to bed or get dressed and go to work. Right now, I can't say for certain which is right or wrong, but I DO know that I've had more than enough internet for the time being. My brain is now fried, and it's my own damned fault.
