My favorite album is Not Available for obvious reasons. Eskimo and Mark of the Mole are also incredible and really underrated. Fingerprince is another album I really enjoy but have never seen discussed here.
anyways have fun. love u guys
reminder that The Residents are essential sporkcore

fuck off with your memes i went through this shit already with some other anon in another residents thread.
no, its not.
>>60867783
Favorite Album is probably the Commercial Album. Favorite song is either Suburban Bathers or Whatever Happened to Vileness Fats. I haven't seen that movie, but I have seen the Whatever Happened to Vileness Fats which is weird as shit. I'd really like to see a release of the uncut full 14 hours of footage.
>>60867925
The hell is Sporkcore?
>>60867979
god damnit
>>60867936
I've never been able to get in the The Commercial album. I enjoy the songs and how they parody pop but it feels like so much to listen to. It really drags on.
it's 14 hours long? shit lol
>>60867995
meme
>>60868014
The actual released version of Whatever Happened to Vileness Fats is like a half hour long because the movie was never finished. But the actual filmed footage that they have is over 14 hours long and unreleased. The Commercial Album does drag at points for me too but their other stuff for me can get a little too cacophonous for me, at least too cacophonous in the wrong ways.
fingerprince is underrated of their early stuff
since it's christmas soon remember to put on santa dog...or seasoned greetings
>>60868378
that's their only early album I haven't heard. ive only heard negative things about it tho
>>60867783

Constantinople desu senpai
Have any other bands been able to capture the same feeling as the residents? They're like surrealist horror psychedelic cartoon noise pop.
Anyone ever play this btw? Really great game actually, pretty spooky.
>>60870424
also does anyone have their I murdered mommy release? It was always expensive and it was just instrumentals. but I always wanted to see the concept art/read the story and shit.
>>60870438
Here's one of the few pics they have online from it, it was an unfinished CD rom game. They only ever released like a book about it and the instrumentals. Unfortunately I've never found scans online. Is there any super hardcore fan that would be willing to scan it?
>>60868532
meet the residents is my favorite
>>60870464
bump come on there's gotta be someone as autistic about the residents as I am
>>60867783
>Favourite album
Been listening to Fingerprince a lot recently. I seemed to overlook it at first but its really growing on me.
>Favourite song
Boo Who?, Godsong or Six Things to a Cycle are my favourites at the moment
>Ever seen them live?
Nope but maybe someday
>Have you seen Theory of Obscurity? How was it?
Haven't seen it yet but I think its coming to DVD and Blu-Ray next summer.
>>60869271

WALK ALL OVER YOU
duck stab/buster and glen
Constantinople is one of my favorite songs
The first time I heard the residents I was on acid for the second time. I thought the cover for Meet The Residents was fake until I looked it up.
Funniest thing I've ever heard.
>>60867995
Music that's inaccessible to be inaccessible. Like Trout Mask Replica.
I like Meet the Residents but not Eskimo or Duck Stab
What should I listen to next?
>>60867783
>favorite album?
Duck Stab
>favorite song?
So many, but I can't get enough of The sleeper, Wonderful, Weightlifting lulu, and so on and on
>ever seen them live?
Yes, they came to South America (Chile) with Shadowland. Full house, amazing sound, I was in the fourth row. It was pretty good, but I think that the newer versions of old songs are hit or miss in most cases.
>have you seen Theory of Obscurity? How was it?
No, but I think it opens in January here in a festival.
>>60875646
Eskimo is a weird album, I recommend you get the demos which IMO are much better than the album itself. Try the Commercial album and some of the newer stuff like Animal lover or Demons dance alone, you may get some feels though,
>>60875646
Not Available! everyone should listen to it.
>>60868532
Nah santa dog is excellent, if you like their more primitive stuff. Listen to the album Refused.
>>60867783
>Not Available
>Making Of A Soul
>They were in my city some years a go but I wasn't really into them yet... Pity
>Didn't know this excisted, should check it out.

>Not Available and Third Reich and Roll
>Flying, My Window, come to mind
>no but I would love to one day
>see above
>>60872238
First song I really liked was The Electrocutioner, when I was in 8th grade. Still one of the best songs on that album.
>>60875750
Eskimo demos? I've never heard of such a thing. Where can I find these?
Sleeper is an amazing song
>favorite album
the only album i have listened to through is God in Three Persons
>favorite song
Hard and Tenderly
they're very difficult, their music and their videos just make me uncomfortable. no doubt they do some compelling stuff but i usually prefer listening to things that aren't that challenging, or at least things that have a hook somewhere
>they call me mr. X indeed
>>60867783
Either Duck Stab or Meet the Residents
Weight-Lifting Lulu
No ;_;
No
>>60867995
