Did Angelo Badalamenti listen to “Crashing” before composing for David Lynch? The echoes are remarkable.
This is the first real letdown for me from these guys.
It sounds like what it is: an attempt to generate cash by creating product. And it falls flat.
All too often The Residents sounds like a soundtrack in search of a theatrical piece to accompany. This is probably the best example of that but also of how turgid such a show could be.
