CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Like the Resident's 1988 CD 'God in Three Persons', which is formally an opera of the new narrative type with lots of rhythmic speaking and chorus responses somewhat in the style of the classic Southern talking blues, this wonderful new piece in 20 parts is also a commentary on the more bizarre imagery and smarmy, truly uneasy emotions from the Bible. While being full of irony and postmodernism, it also reaches for that deep kind of soul-shaking experience that is the true wellspring of religious awe before the lawgivers arrive in town. Originally released in 1998. Euroralph/Germany. 2005. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsThe Residents Return With a Vengence David Fields | Lincoln, Nebraska United States | 08/03/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "After a few years of writing CD-ROM, and educational television soundtracks the Residents returned to songwriting and being a stage act with this CD, and the tour that followed it.Unlike the less polished "Roadworms" that followed this recording, this CD is packed with pop songs, experimental music, and the weird stuff we all want the residents to make noise about.There's no doubt that the lyrics, and especially the liner notes of this recording will offend a number of people (like it did me a few times), and if you have extremely strong beliefs that are aligned with the Bible, this album is not for you. However, the music is the stongest the Residents have performed in years, and is not to be ignored by us hardened veterans of the One Eyed Whozits.From the amazing (but too short) instrumental that opens the album, to the equally amazing, but more disturbing instrumental that ends this CD, this album is packed with pop songs such as "Burn Baby Burn" to the strong pathos of "Firefall".The Residents have returned from the hades of soundtracks, and are in front of us with all their glory." Not fun at first... Phylo Brag | New York, NY | 07/04/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "This album, most likely, will disappoint you. The music doesn't strike me as weird by The Residents' standards. It's almost kind of lame. It's a concept album with probably the most clear concept but the purpose is unclear. Does this album stink? NO WAY! It's a triumph! With developed songs, a great insert, and 61 minutes of music, this might be the best Residents album out there. I know it doesn't compare to older Residents albums but definately deserves as much credit as Freak Show - which is one of Their finest. VERY ESSENTIAL!"
