The second album of a planned series that were intended to work as an extensive concept work, this is a bit more accessible than its predecessor. There is definitely more jazz in the mix, too. Yet, it is still decidedly The Residents with all that tasty weirdness that implies. I like this album better than the one that came before, but it's actually really close. It should be noted that I've reviewed this here as a retro review, but also as part of a new box set. I strongly recommend getting it that way as there are plenty of bonus things on the disc itself, and it's just one of six CDs in the set.

Electronic and both jazzy and classical in nature, there is a more mainstream element to this cut in a lot of ways. Mind you, it's still suitably strange and twisted. It is The Residents, after all. There are some rather operatic vocals that lend weirdness, and also tie this into the previous album.
