Duck Stab/Buster & Glen

No music; worst thing ever

Weird, discordant, very art rock. It feels like it was important for its time but these days it just feels like every other art avant guard rock album. I cant see myself coming back to any of these songs.

duplicate

Not a fan of the art rock style.

This was a very tough listen for me. I understand that the point is to be strange, unsettling and completely unconventional, but it just does not work for me at all. The songs feel chaotic and disjointed, with melodies that never really develop and structures that seem deliberately awkward. I can appreciate that it is experimental and probably influential in certain circles, but as an actual listening experience I found it grating rather than interesting. It is the kind of record that feels more like an art project than an album you would ever choose to put on. Favourite track: None stood out for the right reasons Least favourite: The overall sound just never clicked Album artwork: Bizarre and eye catching, which probably sums the whole thing up

not my jam

Hearing the first few bars of this album, I just know the nerds on this website are gonna LOVE this. If art is supposed to make you feel something, this album makes me feel like I'm on a bad trip. Because of this it's hard to rate on a traditional scale. For enjoyment of listening I'd give it a 1/5. For making me think about music in general and talking about this band, this album and considering how it made me feel, easy 5/5. Grating but wonky in a proto-Primus way at some points. I did enjoy this a hell of a lot more than the T-Swift album I heard a month ago. This album definitely reminds the listener that art is subjective.

Quite interesting. Not for me though

Definition of 2hrs in hell

To review this album for its musical merit would make about as much intellectual sense as appraising the aftermath of a bloody and horrific car crash for its colour scheme or aesthetic. It would be an insult to all involved. Instead, I will evaluate this album for the only purpose it can possible be useful for; a method of torture during interrogation: “Highly effective! If I was subjected to it once more, I would gladly rat out everyone I’ve ever known and loved, just to switch it off - 5 stars”

Just couldn’t quite bring myself to throw out a 3 here.

Started off thinking it was shit, but it was a grower not a shower, and after a while I started to enjoy it somewhat. Not enough to rank it alongside my other 3 stars. But I will listen to more of them, and perhaps it will continue to grow. Definitely not one for the gym. Probably not the best whilst driving. Potentially alright in the bath, if you've munched down a handful of mushrooms beforehand.

When the album first started I had to check whether or not my speakers were broken. They weren't it was just the horrific music ( if I can call it that ). I couldn't even tell what instruments they were trying to play. I thought the worse music I ever heard was my sister playing the voiln. However, this is a billion times worse. If I could rate this with negative stars I would. Whoever put this on the list of 1001 best albums was either stoned, drunk or paid a handsome fee to sneak it in. I should have listened to my friend "No, please El G, I beg you, save yourself this torment" Sorry Chris

I felt violated by this album but I kind of liked it. So close to 1 star but the more I listened to it the more I liked it. Only enough to make it to 2 stars though. I’ll probably listen to the album again though. It’s weird.

This was definitely an interesting, yet fun album to listen to. Very unique.

I loved this it's like Ween & Primus had a weird little baby, surely The Residents were influential to those bands! Enjoyed the rabbit hole of learning about this group & will certainly explore more

This is what I imagine a band made up of oompa loompas with guest vocals from Les Claypool would sound like.

I stuck it out but what even was that cacophony. I won’t be listening again. 1*

Didn't hate it.

completely unlistenable. I get it avant-garde. but its not good?

Okay honestly this was kind of camp. But I would never listen again.

Inascoltabile

absolutely horrendous

Eww

I knew I was in for a bad time after the first 5 seconds of this album. It got better in the second half of that first song but the rest was just as terrible as my first impressions. I thought it was unique enough to carry me all the way through to the end but I had to tap out with about 5 songs to go.

This was awful.

The weird, weird world of the eyeball headed Residents have gathered up the ducks and made a stab at them. Often times, there would be detours into a mostly palatable pop potpourri but, for the most part, they just stay in their now refined weird lane. Now, hopefully no one has found a duck and did serious harm to it after listening to this.

fucking hell, this is literally the shit sociopaths unironically listen to. I actually feel physically sick after this. please make it stop, i genuinely felt my morality being drained with each song that passed. But even in saying that, I honestly couldn’t stop listening to it. It’s like it played some sort of creepy fucking mind control on me. hands down the creepiest and most unpleasant shit I’ve listened to in a long time, maybe even my entire life? I assume that’s their goal, and they smashed that out of the park.. fair play despite possibly being one of the worst things I’ve ever listened to, I think a part of me enjoys this at the same time. Am I just a masochist? is this album making me discover things about myself? Or do I like the fact that it’s SO good at being terrible? I don’t know, this album genuinely melted my brain. I think it’s mostly a respect thing, It’s not well made music, it’s a well made pile of fucking shit and I like it for that. It’s terrible in a good (and bad) way, it’s actually laughable how shitty this is. Which I prefer over straight shit with no redeeming factors. I’m still giving this a 2, 3 seems too high for this. it’s out of this world level of shit to the point where it was fun, and I couldn’t stop listening. But it’s shit. Like, REALLY shit, and I HAD to know where this would lead.. (not a good place) I don’t regret listening to it, but I’ll be avoiding this album for the rest of my days, but I have to give some sort of respect to it, it was unpleasantly fun and I’ll pleasantly never listen again. 2/5, stay away from me now

Interesting for sure! I hope I never come across this again!

No. Just no. Thank you

Its dark avant garde and really artsy. Predicting most people won't like, but very interesting discovery for me though. I always held Les Claypool (Primus/Oysterhead) as one of the most creative musicians of all time. I didn't love this, but it so closely resembled Primus that I assumed this must be a big Les Claypool influence - turns out YES, this was like his favorite band. Which is crazy if you know Primus, this is almost a total rip off (Primus is just slightly less dark, more commercially friendly, and cleaner singing).

Sounds like evil murderous Mickey Mouse.

It's weird, it's wacky. It's not for everyone. Glad Ive heard, but probably won't listen to it again.

It's been a while since I got a completely shit album and it's come on Christmas day, excellent. From the mechanical screaming in "Constantinople", to the screeching in "The Booker Tease" and the whiny toned singing in "Blue Rosebuds". This album is truly shit there are no redeeming qualities, except for the fact that the agony only lasts 35 minutes as it's a relatively short album. I'd imagine if a demon had a birthday they're play "Birthday Boy" at the party. I'd be surprised if this album wasn't included in a "let's just throw some pure garbage in there for fun and see if they notice" type situation. My faith in music is once again, brutally damaged by an album on this list. Merry Christmas.

Awful

Juu ei, en ymmärrä. Kolistelua, ei ees kunnon runoja tai eivät ainakaan kutsu keskittymään

Bach is Deadista alkaen nämä vitsit naurattivat minua. Muuta ne eivät tee.

Oddly listenable

This needs to be removed from this list

interesting sound...overall enjoyed the quirkiness of it.

What the hell did I just listen to? I don't know how to feel about this! The sound is just weird. It's decent at times, but at others it just feels like noises. The singing is horrendous. Sometimes it sounds like Waluigi with weird voice effects. The falsetto is even worse! It genuinely sounds like Chris Chan at times (if you don't know who that is, good. Don't google them.). The writing is nonsense, and the theming is unclear. This album is just a load of nonsense! But you know, at least it's interesting. At least I can laugh at this album for how goofy it is. It actually kind of wraps around to a sort of "so bad it's good" type of deal. There's enjoyment to be had in the madness, even if it is completely ironic. Also, at least it's only 35 minutes! So, while I can't in good consciousness give this a high rating and I never want to listen to this again, I can at least give it the courtesy of not being a 1 since it actually stands out and isn't completely void of effort. Low 2/5.

What can I say? Well, actually… I think I could say a lot. It’s outsider art. I thought that was pretty obvious. It’s an intentional deconstruction of music. If you listen to the rhythm section, the underlying beats are all pretty simple, almost punk like. And the discomfort that people feel when listening to the album is because it doesn’t behave in the way they expect, there’s no structure, the melodies never go where you expect, the harmonies don’t resolve in a satisfying way. But what that does is encourage you to question why it puts you on edge, why you dislike it. And some of the sounds are supposed to piss you off. The music that I dislike most is stuff that bores me, stuff where I can’t see the idea that somebody had, or see that the idea was just to rip off something that was already done better by another artist. Duck Stab/Buster and Glen is 100% the opposite of that. The Residents have ideas, and they put them into practise in the best way they know how. So if you dislike The Residents, I would really encourage you to question why, you might discover something about yourself. I’m tempted to give this five stars, cos I know it’d piss off a load of people, but…

I am so very tired of subjecting myself to utter nonsense. If anyone had heard me listening to this album, they would have to assume I'm an insane person.

The one definite word you can use to describe this music is…obscure. A bit too avant-garde for me to truly appreciate it there’s certainly some odd shit in here. And that’s without considering that it’s a band full of man-sized human eyeballs.

I began this album with a fair amount of goodwill towards it: The Residents are praised in certain circles an avant-garde, experimental rock group, which is always an intriguing concept. I have a reasonable tolerance for Zappa, Beefheart and most prog rock, so I was prepared to kind of enjoy it. While the first few tracks had me on the fence, one-two punch of “Semolina” and “Birthday Boy” was a severe test of that goodwill. Repetition of electronic noodling is a hallmark, near-total absence of conventional melody is another, complete indulgence is another. I won’t waste too much more time dissecting this one: it feels like at its base level, it’s there to be listened to open mouthed, in confusion, left lost for words. And in that sense, it worked on me. Somewhere out there will be full analysis of those surreal lyrics and their contextual relevance… but don’t come to me for that ever again, alright? ALRIGHT?! I need to be alone.

Nope. Way too avant/eclectic. Couldn't get into it and it was really long.

A trippy album. Interesting to hear, seems like a lot of more out there stuff like Les Claypool’s bands. 3/5, because I can see why others find it interesting.

Not for me

Yes to all this. Gonna explore more

This sort of feels like the evil version of Sparks. I mean, you got high register, goofy songs that take some getting used to, especially when it comes to this album. However, the Residents are not here to make pop masterpieces, but rather avant garde art that can be hard to stomach for the average person. Me liking this album does not mean those who don't are dumb, because of course not, this is just straight weird. I'm just intrigued and pulled in by the shock of it all, so when you get something that actually rocks, it really does rock. If anything I'd say the amount of songs makes it repetitive to listen to, not so much strange, although that is certainly there. I don't know man, I just think this is a neat collection of the anti-mainstream and macabre, and it scratches some itches doing so.

Enorm weird.

Expérimentation basée sur la répétition, la dissonance, les voix agressantes (et non pas agressives). Pas agréable en soi mais intrigant et différent

Nope

No. NO!

Weird. But weird can be good. The question is: Is this a good weird or just plain weird. Duck Stab: --------------------------------------- Constantinople - Good weird. Sinister Exaggerator - Weird The Booker Tease - Instrumentally weird (good). Blue Rosebuds - Fairly good weird Laughing Song - Dr. Demento Weird (good). Bach is Dead - Another Dementedly weird song. Elvis & His Boss - Just Weird. Buster & Glen: ----------------------------------------------- Lizard Lady - Just weird. Semolina - Annoyingly weird. Birthday Boy - drieW. (A backwards 'weird') Weight-Lifting Lulu - Boringly weird. Krafty Cheese - Uninterestingly weird Hello Skinny - A recognizably weird melody. (Good) The Electrocutioner - Weird at its best. (Good) The Duck Stab side was a 4/5 and the Buster & Glen side was maybe a 3. I'll give it a 3.5 because of the fun Duck Stab side.

What the hell!?

Made me smile... quite hard to work to this though. And that is not a typo.

Very much dislike

Definitely unique. It's weird giving this 3 stars, as I usually give that to middle of the road, not particularly good, not particularly bad albums. This album isn't one of those, but flip-flops between "I wish I never had ears" and "This is musical genius"

I dont understand this list at times. I dont know why I listened to this entire thing but I did.

Kevyt stressi päällä tämä musa alkoi ahdistamaan ja vituttamaan. Biisit hyppien läpi ja lopulta jäi kesken. Vittu mitä paskaa.

Nope

Unsettling but really interesting glad I listened.

Odd and not enjoyable.

Ugh

Kind of interesting kind of annoying

It took me a while to understand this album. But they were clearly channeling the avant garde music from the '60s. I could hear shades of early Pink Floyd and Napoleon XIV. But you have to want to hear this type of music or it becomes very trying. In the end, I was waiting to see which ended first, the album, or me cleaning the bathroom. Unfortunately, I finished cleaning the bathroom and still had to hear the rest of the album. Scale: 5 - My absolute favorites. 4 - Albums I like. 3 - It was ok to listen to but I wouldn't seek it out. 2 - Didn't like. 1 - Absolute shit.

Nope

This is the most unpleasant album I have ever listened to. No one should be subjected to this.

Well that’s one to put down as an experience. Pretty nuts.

0/12, 0%

It's too early in the morning for this shit.

Very different. Not sure I liked it.

In 1987, my college roommate and I used to listen to "Hello Skinny" over and over again and laugh and laugh. Somehow the sinister clarinets would get me every single time. There were a number of other songs we listened to by The Residents that we liked, but none from this album, other than maybe "Constantinople." I noticed that the first listen to this album as a whole was a bit challenging, but I was a bit more endeared upon a second survey of the songs. I mean, it is okay to laugh while listening, right? There's some fun crazy stuff here.

I'm not exactly sure how to classify this, but there was something very appealing to me throughout. Is it really something that I love? Something that I will ever think, "Oh, you know what would fit this mood..."? No, probably not. But is it an experience that made an impression on me and that I might someday think, "What was that weird one that we listened to...I think that I kind of miss it?", yeah, I think that it may be.

Delightfully wacky and wonderfully weird. Loved every freaky minute.

I knew the song Hello Skinny from a mix tape back in the 80s. So I was certainly expecting a weird album. Duck Stab doesn’t disappoint. It is delightfully weird. Never boring, the songs vary in what makes them weird and I was constantly excited to hear what was next. Constantinople must have been a response to or inspired by the song Istanbul (Not Constantinople) by They Might Be Giants. They make a great pairing. A reference to “Elmer Fudd” and “Auntie Maim” in Sinister Exaggerator? You could hear the homage to Green Onions in the short interlude The Booker Tease (see what they did there?!). This album wants me to have a daughter named Semolina (and maybe raise her on Cream of Wheat). How have I lived through 24 years and not played the wonderful Birthday Boy for someone on their birthday?! Weight lifting Lulu? A song called Krafty Cheese that warns plants to be careful? The brilliant dissonant Hello Dolly ending of Hello Skinny? It all ends with the painfully comprehensible yet utterly wackadoo The Electrocutioner. There is a great deal of musical mastery at play here in creating the off-kilter tunes. The Residents’ crazy songs work for me! Yes, most of those around me seem to hate it and I don’t expect it to be tolerated at my next social gathering, but I think it’s terrific! “A little nonsense now and then, relished by the wisest men.” - W. Wonka

Barely music. Next time, leave the duck alone and stab me instead.

Good album for auditory torture

This reminds me of the weirder parts from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory, and they focused on expanding the very weird parts. I would love to experience this live on some shrooms tbh

I'm only giving them two stars because I'm sure they somehow influenced bands like Primus that are much better than them

Definitely interesting. Purposefully off-putting. Enough interest that I'm glad I listened, will not listen again.

What even was this

This album feels like the painting of Kramer from that episode of Seinfeld. I was simultaneously repulsed but fascinated by it. Don’t know how I feel about it. Fuck this album, but maybe I’ll listen to more?

This is the most stupid, dog shit album I've ever heard. I love it. I hate how much I love it.

In today's episode of: "Albums You Know are Going to be Horrible Based on the Cover Art Alone"... yeesh, one of the worst albums in the history of music. This is the kind of music that would be played during Willy Wonka's boat ride where those horrible images were being shown near the start of the movie. And to think that so many more deserving artists could've occupied this spot but no, the author of the 1001 list said, "We must have Duck Stab/Buster & Glen" by The Residents! 1/10.

I guess there's a couple of interesting turns of phrases every now and then in the lyrics, but this is just too weird for me. Not enjoyable. 1.5 stars

I'm happy that there were so many short songs so that I wouldn't have to listen to them for longer than I needed to.

If you need a palate cleanser after listening to a couple of Taylor Swift songs, this should force a complete reset of your system. A very challenging listen... non-sensical lyrics, and carnival like random musical elements. I'm going to give 1 star to the combination of 1) the instrumental which was by far the most listenable piece, 2) the new standard it has set in my brain for what qualifies as lyrics, and 3) the bad ass cover art and album title.

Not a fan

Semolina is a vibe

that was ... weird. 3 stars.

This is something... I'm not sure what, but it's something. Not sure we can call it music... These guys remind me a bit of Primus. Not in musical style, but the fact that they don't take themselves too seriously, and the ability to play instruments is low on their priority list. The singer, if that's what we can call him, sounds like a cross between Morphle (from the kids tv program of the same name) and Mr Hankey the Christmas Poo (from South Park). Let's just say that neither of these characters should be given a record contract. I guess it's fitting seeing as Mr Hankey is a literal piece of shit, and this music is shit. But one thing I started to understand as I listened to this album is its less about the "music" with these guys, and more about the experience. Their stage attire (eyeball masks with top hats), their nonsensical lyrics... It's all an experience. These guys are not meant to be taken seriously. To me they fall in the same experimental category as Einsturzende Neubauten. Here is an excerpt of their odd lyrics: An ether eating Eskimo Would gag upon your sight Convulsed into oblivion From laughter or from fright Overall, very odd. I'll never seek this out again. Instruments made noises on this record that they should never make. I don't know who listens to this regularly, but it was interesting enough to listen to once, but that's enough for me. Favourite songs: Lizard Lady? I guess? Least favourite songs: this whole fucked up album, but Birthday Boy most of all. 1/5

Straight fuck off with this art rock shit. I hate music that sounds like it’s intentionally obtuse just for the sake of it.

What the fuck is that ! It feel like they tried to do dubstep without the tec for it. Like take all the creepy and weird sound in a horror movies and make a song with it and yeah don't need rythm just weird sound next to each other. and some time it feels like they got something going like yeah maybe this song will be good and bam some weird noise without any rythm. 1978 make sens i can see some doing acid and listen to this and dream of another world.

Vreemd. Maar wel interessant. Niet per se heel goed.

Well, that's legitimately one of the worst things I've ever had to listen to.

Rating: 4/10

This is a 2 hour experimental album. Nuff said.

This may the first collection of music that ever made me think suicide would be a better alternative. This was comically awful. People actually thought this was good to let everyone hear. And then to add it to the list of albums people need to hear. What is going on?!? 0.5/10

there’s some part of my brain it scratches well.

I've heard the name "Residents" thrown around over my lifetime but never explored the band at all. That was until today. Kind of an incredible story and journey that has been present for 50 years, and it's safe to say that the sounds and racket that was produced by them has influenced even modern artists such as Ty Segall and Ween. Whenever I find paintings or music that pushes the boundaries of what "music" or "art" is, I always have to take a step back and remind myself what the goal or message of this was. Surely the Residents weren't trying to make a "good" album or highly commercialized hit. It explores heavy synth and, much like their other albums, nonsensical lyrics and absurd noises clashing together into a heaping mess which is kind of hilarious. Is it for me? absolutely not. Was it heavily influential in the realm of experimental music and pushes the boundaries of what "art" or "music" is? Yes. Does it challenge what "good" music is? At what point are discordant sounds and strange lyrics supposed to be bad? These are the questions I always keep in mind when i hear one of these albums. Because art is in the eye of the beholder, to me, its bad. 2/10, giving a point because of the influence this group has had, although this apparently is not their most popular album.

Reminds me of Primus but not in a good way. Some interesting elements but I'm baffled as to how this got on the list. What am I missing?

I can't

wtf was this

Garbage

Completely dumb.

Art rock is really not my thing. Just couldn't appreciate the sound and ducked out a few tracks in.

Pretty amazing, it's not at all my usual type of listening, but i really enjoyed the novelty and difference of how music was presented by it. I think its damn good, and I would happily listen to it again.

idk i do not like this avant garde meta bullshit

Their bio states they have no face, no names, no gender. I wish they had no album.

Couldn’t get into this at all

Like it’s weird. Its interesting. Never gonna listen to it again though

JFC. It can only improve from here. Like all of Ween and the Flaming Lips’ very worse impulses screamed through a short circuiting megaphone.

That was weird

Meh

The popular TV show "Parks and Recreation" features a character named Oren who is creepy in subtle but mildly interesting/entertaining ways. He is the human form of this album. Primus vibes Left Rights vibes Splash of Tom Waits

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. The sounds on this album were quite unsettling. I nearly stopped listening as it was making me physically ill.

Wow. That was something. Some interesting modern sounds from an album from the 70's. However, the song writing was too weird. Song structure is meandering. Weird polka rhythms.

I could not get through this. Yikes.

Mysterious, dark, experimental, innovative, extreme, brave, nonchalant, terrible. All I have to say.

New band for me. (I knew about the eyeballs) Avant Garde? Its pretty terrible.

Worst album of the month. I hit skip half way through most tracks.

Holy shit.

A fever dream put into music.

0/5

Did not enjoy this one

Not for me

You say "art rock" I say "annoying sounds analogous to music" 2 hours of this? Nah

Kind of a tough album to just sit down and listen to. Sounds like the soundtrack to an old animated horror movie, and I think would be more interesting if accompanied by some sort of visual medium. 2/5 Won't listen again

You know when you go to an art museum and you see a painting that's just some colour on canvas and you wonder what is going on and if someone is playing a trick on you, yeah this is like that.

weird af

Man what goofy album. i hear the seeds of a lot of Primus's work in here. Some songs are fun and quirky, others are just flat out atonal and out in outer space. I have no idea what to do with this album, so i will give it a 3.

I love this mental stuff, I don't care. Go away and listen to your War On Drugs albums.

Innovative and gleefully bizarre, with a whimsically unsettling vibe. I haven't listened to a ton of The Residents, but I have a lot respect for this band. They always pushed the boundaries of what music could sound like, and kept going regardless of what anyone thought about them. Musically structureless, frequently atonal and noisy, with a delightfully surreal approach to lyrics. Not an everyday listen, but I had fun with it. Fave Songs: Sinister Exaggerator, Semolina, The Booker Tease, Constantinople, Laughing Song

Looks like you could not do wrong in the late 70s, early 80s. Lots of inventive, original works which really worked. This one is so full of weird voices, layers of different sounds, innovative compositions put together in a strange excellent record... and it is not even the Top 10 of best original albums from that marvelous 1978

hated it

No thanks.

The Residents walked so Ween and Primus could run.

Listen 1: What in all that is holy have I just listened to? Listen 2: Hey, those are some pretty neat melodies behind that overdubbed voice Listen 3: Why am I liking this? What is wrong with me? Let's see if that preserved and extended version has some bonus material that might be interesting Listen 4: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Wow, unbelievable. Not in a good way

listening to original album of 14 tracks. weirdest album i've heard, maybe ever, but I didn't hate it and most of the tracks were decent. wasn't familiar with art rock 2/5. Continued through 2018 pREServed edition for an additional 26 tracks on Spotify (2h version). Started a 2nd listen through on day 2 as this is probably the last time i listen to this album. Decided 1/5 as I will never listen again.

Hard listen, too avant-garde for my taste. I don't like

Enjoyed so weird

just awful. like if you said "can I ruin everything that is cool about Primus" and found a Very Yes answer here

Bizarre. Maybe something that could grow on me, or maybe something that could force me to claw my own eardrums out if I listen too long. I don’t feel like finding out today though because I just don’t have the listening fortitude to do so.

I get "albums you must listen to before you die" doesn't mean "good albums" but this is just taking the piss. Morbid curiosity held me in for the duration, and I'm never going back.

Nope

that was... something

It’s like Primus’s even weirder uncle.

I don’t have time for this.

Wild wild ride. I can hear the influences of early They Might Be Giants, early Ween, and so many more of my favorite college radio faves. This album is weird and offputting and at times legitimately unsettling. VERY COOL

I definitely prefer actual music over weird, abstract sound experiments. My cat looked highly confused while this was playing.

This shit is wild. I'll stab a duck right now if Gene and Dean Ween didn't go ape over this at some point in their lives. I'm not sure how to rate this. I liked this a lot but it's not a "put it on anytime" album. You need to be in a really specific mood for this. Oh dear, that overall community score is just too low. I guess it has to be a 5 now. I'm doing my part.

Fantasia soundtrack on a nightmarish LSD trip, what is this.

There are a handful of good things about this album: 1) I managed to download the 30 minute version rather then the longer one with “bonus” tracks that the link directed me to; 2) an example of 70s avant-garde experimental music clearly belonged on this list; 3) it was at least a vaguely listenable example. Mostly; 4) I didn’t entirely hate all the tracks; 5) it’s better than that god awful Mariah Carey record I endured; 6)* hopefully 1 and 2 combined means we got away lightly with this sort of thing (although it seemed longer) Someone came in the kitchen when I was listening to this and asked what the hell I was listening to. They have a point. At least it's not Rumours, 1999 or Thriller (two of which I scored lower than this...). Not a fan really, but as I say, there’s worse things on this list. * I’m from Norfolk

Why the fook is this shite on the list. Minus 1. Unlistenable.

Experimental and out there but lacking purpose. I’m not sure why I’d ever want to listen to this. Occasionally the music reminded me of Tom Waits but Tom Waits is a phenomenal songwriter and performer. He has a way of drawing you in and making you think, “I can’t believe that music this strange is so compelling.” This album just sounds like pointless stoner experiments. I couldn’t wait for it to end. I think “Hello Skinny” was the only song I genuinely enjoyed. It’s got a cool, low simmering energy.

Pretty weird stuff. I tend to gravitate towards experimental / weird / underdog type stuff/art and I have to admit that this really didn't do much for me. Hard to find some positives if there really were any which is a shame. Not sure if this is an album that everyone must hear before they die. In between a 1 and a 2 but as of this listen it was a 1 for me.

Unsettling. Blue Rosebuds stood out, but I don't want to listen to it again.

The second half/dark side of this album feels less self-assured and all the better for it, any mediocrity dangerously melting away. Fine with an ellipsis entry point to the Residents; I certainly want to hear more, maybe even in the same galactic vocal range.

I usually like to play devil’s advocate for the lower-rated Avant-garde albums like this one, since the average user here seems to dislike anything that’s remotely outside the realm of a Led Zep/Beatles LP. That being said, I can only advocate for these things if they’re good - this album tested my patience, and despite listening to some of the B-sides even there was not a single melodic shred I could grab on to. I love music that fights back and challenges the listener, but this is toeing the ‘noise’ line of noise rock a bit too hard

I remember being a teenager watching MTV in the middle of the night and seeing The Residents for the first time. They had played "The Act of Being Polite" and I genuinely felt deeply unsettled and mildly terrified. But I have always been morbidly curious about The Residents ever since. They're more Dadaist art project than rock band, touching the edge of commercial success while still making sure to make you firmly uncomfortable. Like all good art should, it definitely evokes a reaction. You'll either love it or hate it, or possibly both at once.

very cool

Doesn't feel like a music record, feels more like an 'art performance in audio', like an avant-garde art performance in audio format. Its hard to rate because of that, I feel like it should be listened with 'different ears'. An interesting listen nonetheless, I can understand why its here.

For lack of better words: What in the actual fuck. I might never go near a duck again in my life.

a fantastic album to lose one’s mind to. Demented . One sees how Primus (certainly), Ween, and the Butthole Surfers would not have existed without The Residents. Creepy storytelling, strange moods, twisted humor. The synths are lightly detuned, lending an eerie air to the proceedings. Vocals are sped up or slowed down to enhance the unreal affect. 3 minute songs make this thing go down easier than it otherwise might. Muffled drums in the background, mixed in such a way that one questions whether they are drums at all. I guess this could go for many instruments on this album. Guitars are barely guitars, basses barely basses. I’m sure this helped usher out the peace and love drug era and help enhance the vast, weird, disturbing promise that lurked in LSD all along.

I want to say I like it more than I did, some interesting moments though

Interesting album. At first I thought it was a joke. There is somewhat of somewhat of a comparison to Frank Zappa or Captain Beefheart. The music seems odd when you first hear it but as you become familiar with it, you start to appreciate the oddness and recognize the talent that is behind it. A song like Birthday Boy sounds like something you would hear on the Dr. Demento show back during that era. 3/5

Ain't got time for this Bailed after 4 songs

3.5

Electrónica. Experimental. Una pérdida de tiempo.

I feel like my ears are actually bleeding. I wish I could give this 0 stars

I'm too tired for this bullshit today. But I still listened to it. This reminds me of Frank Zappa - do something offbeat and weird and people hail you as a genius. It's not genius, it's just offbeat and weird. 1 star.

2/5. This is surely an album that stands out as weird and rebellious but hasn't aged well. I have heard weirder albums. It's definitely not terrible, just not as important as it may have been. It is still a little funny.

Weirdly interesting

Bless the Residents. And Snakefinger, who is annoying for years already everyone in hell/heaven with his guitar riffs from outer space. Residents provided me the Matrix pill, I took the right pill and allowed them to f*uck up my mind forgood, they introduced me to whole new range of music. Like Eskimo music. While babysitting the baby started crying as if he was dying at the spot. I rushed to him and found him sound asleep. Sure, had the album Eskimo on, and there an Inuit child was being born. Or their "Commercial album", 40 (CD 50) catchy songs of 1 minute long. Most 3 minutes songs are just the same, repeated three times. What's the use of the 2nd and 3rd minute? Get on with it. Or their take on the bible, Wormwood. Or their brilliant cover versions of US artists like Elvis, Hank Williams, John Philip Sousa, Jame Brown. True American heroes.

Really weird but in a good way. Felt like a horror movie

I knew it was bad 45 seconds into song 1. was a sludge fest to get through the rest. Ben is wild for giving it a 3, but alas life goes on.

Gotta revisit this one some time

2 y siendo generoso

Needed some weird shit after a string of formulaic albums.

They have more than 60 albums, and this one made it to the list... imagine their not-so-good albums...

weird

Algjört ævintýri. Þú veist aldrei hvað gerist næst. Viðbrögð mín vou allt á bilinu hláturskast að geispa.

Bunk

This is bad. It is really weird art rock.

I imagine having a friend, one which I’ve bonded with over the course of many years. We know each others siblings. They are always extended an invite to hang out. I then image this friend telling me to check out this wicked band The Residents, telling me they are on the cutting edge of musical innovation, that they are creating revolutionary sound and that I have to listen to them! I then imagine never talking to this friend again. This stuff stinks.

More like Fart Rock.

what was the purpose in releasing this album? genuinely anyone with a low level of musical instrument playing ability with the recording equipment at their disposal could come up with something on a par with this. it's not musical, it's just fucking about. why would anyone choose to listen to this?

Drippin' in fanny

I listened to a residents album before. Ya know, the one with all the members of the beatles with strange looking eyes? Well it was that one. And I didn't remember the listen being a great experience. In fact I remembered it being quite an abrasive one. And I feel like for many members of this site, it will be the same case for this album. But man... what an absolute horror fest siesta this has been. I've been completely sucked into this horrifically grating, disjointed children's novel that the residents have chalked up for us. Albeit. The baby voice they frequent on many tracks is a little too much to bare. But these songs feel like something only a psychotic madman could conjure up. And it's not something that can be so easily recreated. This album is a horrifically terrifying, and occasionally hilarious stab at the music industry standard and I imagine I will be frequently revisiting it... on my own... with headphones... because I can't let people know I listen to this

Interesting, but avante garde music is not really my thing.

Always found these guys interesting but their music is a little too weird for me

Fun to see something this demented appear on this list. #residentssweep

Coolt album.trodde av nån orsak att det skulle påminna om The Replacements

The first two tracks made me think that these guys might have influenced They Might Be Giants, which turned out to be correct. That predisposes me to give them the benefit of the doubt, but boy, they used and abused that. This should probably be a 1, but the first track is kind of fun, I guess. Best track: Constantinople

Sorry I tried, I really did

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen is the fifth album by American art rock group The Residents. It is a combination of their seven-song EP Duck Stab! with the unreleased EP/LP of Buster and Glen - released together after the Duck Stab! EP quickly sold out. It is an interesting collection of short songs that attained a cult following for its haunting themes. I did not understand the music on this album. It was dark and whimsical at the same time, but had an odd flow that felt choppy and sometimes off-putting. I could tell this band had a cult-following from the first song, before I even glanced at the wiki for an explanation of what I was listening to. You'll know it when you hear it. Only certain people will actually enjoy listening to these weird songs, and I do hope they enjoy it.

Escuche las primeras 2 canciones y me parece un álbum que no es buena ya por las críticas como es ,como me parece y agrada a mi así que creo que para mi y mi gusta y también el de los demás ya que no tiene casi nada personas escuchando ese al um creo que es un mal álbum por eso tampoco le puedo calificación alta así que u 1/10

The legendary Residents. Another band I have heard about forever but have never earnestly listened to. Obviously their influence is matched by few and it was great to give them a couple spins. This record is just as fun and as weird as I expected it would be.

Interesting. Definitely different from what I usually listen to.

I have listened to many experimental/concept albums but this just makes no sense. There's no structure to this, I feel I can recreate this by using random tracks from a free sound effects website. Not impressed.

Weird stuff, love the eye ball tho

This is the first Album I bailed on. Goddamn

It grew on me.

More then once I said this is fuckin strange. Still not sure if this is brilliant and ahead of its time or just meaningles garbage. I'll give it this, in 1978 I'm sure the punk rockers and Zeppelin heads would equally hate this noise. I do have a soft spot in my heart for strange music like Ween, They Might be Giants, Zappa, and of course Phish so I can see the appeal

Good on the Residents for making exactly the kind of music they want. It’s definitely not for me, though.

Not looking forward to this…

Wtf am I listening to

3.4 - Different. I like the primitive synthesizer sonics. The vocals sound like something out of a Jim Henson fever dream, mostly silly-sounding. Standouts: “Bach is Dead”, “Lizard Lady.”

im not really feeling the vibe after constantinople i may have to stop at duck stab and leave buster & glen to the mystery of the music world im all for experimental music but this has very little to offer in the way of musical forethought they will really have to pull something out of the blue for me to get this above 2 stars the booker tease is very good laughing song feels like it must have been so fun to perform because it is so crazy i would just prefer to listen to so much other music it is unreal im also not interested in the music enough to expect much from the next song and i just dont understand how they deliver the exact amount of disappointing consistently every song im sorry i really tried to like some of this album but i would never recommend this to anyone especially myself because i just think no one should be put through this yes i know it doesnt sound like i was open minded from the beginning but i promise i was i just think it had crushed my soul a little bit i dont want to listen to the lizard lady rant over an out of tune synth okay im sorry ive even given up on duck stab now i cant put myself through it any longer im really sorry if the last two tracks were good but i just cant do it

when it comes to any sort of art there are two type of weird: good weird and bad weird. this album was a fat chunk of good weird with some bad thrown in for good measure. i bet les claypool likes this album

WTF did I just listen to?! I'm giving it a 2 and not a 1 purely because it wasn't too long of an album so the torture was over quickly

if u told me i had to listen to this before i die i would kill myself first to spite u

One of the things humanity could do without

I didn't hate this, I also don't know if I'll go back to it again.

Raar

It's different to everything else and challenging which gives it an extra point, but not exactly a great listen.

It's an album i guess. Definitely very weird and experimental and i do enjoy weird stuff, but this was mostly just trying to hard to be weird, to the point i don't see anyone listening to it a second time. Still an interesting listen I'll give it that.

Not my favourite residents record but I like their Avantgarde rock anyways. Strange but wonderful

Yeah... this is the worst yet. Often why i dismiss "Art" music is because the goal is not new or inovative ways of making music (bebop was a great example of experimentation that worked and still was accessable to some) This is wierd for the sake of being wierd. It is made to have people defending it by saying "you just don't understand the complexity" or someting like this. But no it's not complex, it's just wierd random shit made for a specific range of people. It kinda reminds me of primus so if you want good experimental music in this vein but actually good, listen to them!

If their intention is to make art with something unlistenable then they’ve succeeded. Some catchy soundscapes but not full enough to become songs (maybe that’s the point). Not quite enjoyable

Comedy vocals with a blues tinge. Experimental music. Reminds me of Beefheart. And Throbbing Gristle (but far more musical, albeit stripped back). Great arty gimmicky eyeball anonymous image.

midt på 3.5 mener jeg, skriver noen dager etter

Of course this album is horrible to listen to but I did laugh out loud when Birthday Boy came on

Album 82 of 1001 The Residents - Duck Stab Rating : 1 / 5 Favorite Track : Birthday Boy That is some weird stuff. More of a novelty recording than something to be taken seriously as "music". Got to take the bad with the good, I guess. This really sucked.

wtf is this

There isn’t enough space for me to write all the bad things I have to say about this album, and yes, I know there is no limit here.

This isn't my favorite Residents album. The songs are so outside the realm of typical music. They aren't especially listenable, and yet, they have a way of worming themselves in for me. They're actually more concise, focused, structured and approachable than much of The Residents' earlier catalog, as if they wanted to create a sort of avant-garde pop album. It also seems like we wouldn't have gotten bands like Ween or Primus without early Residents albums like this one (or at least those bands may have developed differently). Difficult to rate this one, but I think it's worth consideration and even multiple listens, 4 stars.

FRENETIC

We were just coming out of the dark days of music. Disco sucked and many bands were trying different things. Some of these attempts to be different worked and others were like this album. Plus 1 for trying.

The Residents sound like a band that you’d see playing in a bar in an early David Lynch movie. I couldn’t listen to this LP before I went to bed because I was sure it would give me nightmares. The fact that they can create such an eerie, uneasy vibe is worth an extra point or two. I added another point when I saw in Spotify that it was released in 1972, which would make it “proto” something or another. But that seems to be a typo. 1978 sounds about right.

Well this was a wild ride, but not particularly fun. This arty type genre of music certainly pushes the boundaries of what we consider to be music with only a vague resemblance to traditional melody, rhythm and vocals. Similar to say Trout Mask Replica, it takes considerable effort to get through, but the extremely poor and muddled audio quality ultimately makes it a frustrating exercise.

Of course the longest album (almost 2 torterous hours) is also experimental unlistenable garbage. This is the soundtrack to Joker (2019)

Weird

Outcast music.

What an awful album. This has no reason being on this list.

This is an incredibly creepy album and felt like I was listening to something down in a dungeon. Don't think I'll ever listen to this again but it was a fun trip into the twilight zone.

Okay, this is epic. Time for a break from all the humdrum rock albums, here's something freaky deaky. Album so weird that I had to play it on my headphones so as not to scare everyone in the house, including the dogs. Love how creepy the vocals are sometimes, really processed to hell and back. The fact that this is from the '70s makes it that much more impressive. Could you imagine walking into your son's room in 1978 and hearing him listen to this? I'd probably call the police. Never heard of these guys before, but color me intrigued. "Constantinople" is absolutely insane, and I loved the really weird birthday song on here. I would rather hear a dozen more albums like this from the forgotten freaks living in tunnels beneath our world than hear another Elvis Costello snoozer. Spooky fun! Favorite tracks: Constantinople, Blue Rosebuds, Birthday Boy, Hello Skinny. Album art: Love love love the color scheme, I'll repeat it as many times as we get one: red/white/black makes for some of my favorite covers out there. A psycho magician guy making the titular stab of the titular duck. Great show. 4/5

What a load of retarded shit. Sorry, I mean how artsy and intricate. 1/5.

Estilo un poco raro de definir, con sucesión de guitarras, en ocasiones alaridos, ritmos con diferentes instrumentos. Aun así, no se escuchan mal algunas piezas

The Residents are bit like communism in that I like them better in theory than I do in practice. And maybe it’s the years I’ve spent listening to weird, out-there music, but this record isn’t nearly as unlistenable as some of you make it out to be. In fact, I’m willing to bet if someone put Tom Waits’ phony-ass gravel voice over top of this music, most of you a) wouldn’t realize it wasn’t actually a Tom Waits record and b) would be falling all over yourselves to praise it.

What if Looney Tunes characters had a collective bad acid trip? This would be the result - at first I was a bit bewildered by it but after a couple of listens I think this is a rather strange unique treasure - it’s bizarre but well done and executed - weird but never boring. I liked it.

70s weirdo punk!

I think I like The Residents but I'm not sure I'm cool enough to like The Residents.

I get it, but I’m never going to listen again

Ok, daar was ik best benieuwd naar. Tjemig, niet te doen concludeerde ik al vrij snel.

Wat een ellende zeg

Blegh...

Wat een kutzooi.

Yeah okay. I guess I can't claim Primus and Ween among my favorites if I can't listen to this. It's not terrible, don't get scared away by other reviews.

The goal of music is to evoke emotion, and the strongest emotion of them all… is fear. Scary sounding album and not one that I’d put on if I wanted to jam out to some good music but I’d put it on just cause I wanted to listen to it cause it has such a strong vibe, real weird and kinda scary but oozing with personality. My homie Roman’s kinda music

Wow, I usually like weird albums but what is this? Genuinely, I mean it's just feels bad. I couldn't even finish the album.

Virtually unlistenable but I’m sure they have a plan for works domination.

Shite.

This has had a good stab at being the worst record we've had so far. Doesn't quite deserve it, but it's not miles off. It's like what a Red Dwarf set from the early series would sound like if you asked it to sing - vaguely futuristic, incredibly dated, weird, and absolutely awful if you concentrate on it for too long. 1/5.

It's brilliant. I can't imagine Ween, Primus or any number of wonky abstract acts existing without this existing first. And they beat Daft Punk to the masks. And they ruined Happy Birthday. It is a thing of great wonder and I love it.

Jesus, I can't believe I made through the entire album. This just may be worse than that dude who named all his albums after himself. I kept thinking this is what an album by the Munchkins from Wizard of Oz would sound like. I laughed a couple times, then realized I had another 30 minutes of this stuff. Then I cried a little and finished the album. For me, this may have taken over the #1 spot of the worse things I have ever heard musically. Will not revisit. Will never listen again. This is where I wish you can rate as a negative number. Will, loving your reviews! Keep it up. Ha.

*meme of Ben Affleck smoking* 1

1 Oh my God it’s the eyeball dudes. I’ve heard of these guys, but I’ve never listened to anything they’ve put out, mostly due to the general discomfort they give me. And I gotta say, going in with just that knowledge, somehow all of my expectations were met. Yep, it’s just a bunch of weird noises and voices for 35 minutes. There’s a certain 60’s Saturday morning cartoon vibe buried in all of the chaos that I think I had mild appreciation for, but that’s probably the most positive thing I can say about this album - when I realized the first track Constantinople is the band’s most popular on Spotify, I knew I had a very, very long listen ahead. Ironically, compared to many of the other albums I’ve rated poorly thus far, there’s actually quite a bit that’s remarkable and stood out to me across my listening, but I feel like trying to express any of it into any kinds of words here would be a massive waste of time for everyone involved. I’m convinced that no one actually listens to this kind of stuff out of pure personal enjoyment, and it instead becomes known and popularized from the kinds of reactions you get from people when you put it on. If you’re into really bizarre or trippy stuff for whatever reason, I guess give this a listen. If you’re looking to enjoy some new music, I suggest listening to quite possibly anything else. This shit made me want to listen to The Beatles. In summary, art rock is dumb - there’s nothing profound about making your music unlistenable. At least this one wasn’t as aggressive as that Suicide album.

Weird

I'm not sure "enjoyed" is the right word, but I appreciated hearing this. It sounds like people allowing themselves to be the strangest version of themselves, and I find that inspiring. Interesting reading about their long and storied history, avanti garden approach and anonymity. I am amazed that they are still active as a band in 2023.

I think I respect this on some level, but I certainly don't enjoy listening to it.

Watching in an art-gallery or performance context? Could be a 4. Just as a purely listening experience? No. Rounded up to 2 cause I can appreciate what they are doing but... definitely not pleasurable.

10/10 The Residents are so fucking cool and crazy this is beyond just music, it’s transcendental art

Vraiment weird, je suis encore en train de me demander si j'ai aimé ça. J'ai aucune misère à croire que ça a du avoir un impact significatif sur des groupes plus expérimental et avant-gardistes (ça a eu une influence sur Primus assuré). Mériterait une seconde écoute. 7/10

More like ear stab

Une véritable farce de la durée d'un album. Rappelez vous que Robert a laissé ces chanteurs d'anniversaire intégrer le générateur et a refusé l'entrée à Céline Dion.

Excellent album, Robert est en grande forme en ce moment.

I don't want this in my life

0.5/5

It’s on the list of lowest rated albums in this project. I think it is better than that, but only slightly. I can tolerate this much more than some of the other crap that this list contains. I’d say i like it better than at least 300 other albums i’ve heard. I still don’t think it deserves to take a spot on this list. There are thousands of albums that are better than this one….. it is unique though. And if their goal is to expose us to music that we would have never sought out…then they succeeded. Standouts: Haha, that’s funny. There are no standouts….. 3/5

Another bizarre artsy pick that makes me reminisce about root canals.

I’ve heard enough this is awful. The penguin album deserves a 2 in retrospect. Best song: none

Wow, that's awful.

Mon dieu que c'est mauvais cette album là j'y comprend rien. 1.75

Hard to listen to.

Yeah…no thanks…

Just when I thought this experiment has shown me the lowest lows, this crap comes around the corner and proves me wrong

Sometimes I think I'm okay; I am a normal, well-adjusted human being. But then I remember how much I genuinely enjoy The Residents.

The correct way to do that avant-garde type shit.

For why....

3/10. It's hard to make a song about Constantinople that I won't like, but these guys did it. There were some kind of cool songs on there, and the sing-songy vocals did work with the weirdness of the sound, but at the end of the day it was just unpleasant to listen to much of the time.

Having to listen to this album borders on psychological torture. It’s only 35 minutes but is a continuous assault on the senses. 1/10

Wired it has to be a 1/5 but I did kinda enjoy how strange it got

Some of their stuff was inventive but a lot was just not my style musically.

The soundtrack to an art school version of the Smurfs, leaning heavily on Gargamel as the antihero. Mostly tedious crap, with occasional brief moments where it is mildly entertaining.

“You don’t get it the music is supposed to sound like shit” I’d much rather listen to a purposefully outrageous album like this than an album that tried to be cool but just sucks, like the ones from Ute Lemper or MJ Cole. An album that is challenging/difficult/weird on purpose is often better than one that was supposed to be good but is bad anyways.

NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE If you've arrived at this album with the intent to take the Residents seriously then you've already failed. Their Dadaist approach to music has allowed them to experiment and venture into areas that no other musical artists would dare approach. A complete disregard for melody and structure gives them free reign to explore dissonance, new forms of instrumentation, and (most importantly) humor. The Residents revel in being inaccessible and strange. That being said, it's not a very pleasant listening experience, is it? It certainly excels in being an abstract horror for the ears, but it's rarely something that I would listen to for my own enjoyment. Perhaps that is the end goal of the Residents, given their reputation. It's an album worth trying at least once. NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE

Cała płyta bekowych piosenek Waitsa, ale gorsza

En un principio tenía pensado darle 1, pues es obvio desde la primer canción que el álbum no es algo muy disfrutable que digamos, sin embargo, para mi propia sorpresa, después de escucharlo muchas veces, debo admitir que es más escuchable de lo que imagine que sería posible. A pesar de lo extraño y disonante que es a comparación de, básicamente, cualquier álbum, al ser así en su totalidad, hace que tenga personalidad y, al menos para mi, después de darle varias oportunidades, termina siendo un álbum muy solido. A lo que me refiero con esto es que si el álbum fuera algo normal y escuchable, pero tuviera 2 o 3 canciones como las que tiene este, estaríamos hablando de otra cosa. Finalmente, a pesar de ver perfectamente situaciones en las que quisiera escuchar este álbum en especifico, tampoco voy a fingir que es la gran cosa. El álbum es bueno siendo raro, y prefiero eso mil veces a que sea aburrido.

This is exactly the kind of electronic, avant-garde, wacked out shit I signed up for.

Imagine, if you can, you stumble upon the missing works of Lewis Carol. Unfortunately despite being very LC they are a bit shit. You bump into your mate Cassandra who’s 12 year old son Travis has refurbished a 1st Generation Apple Mac. You give the works to Travis and he puts them to music using his ancient computer. That’s what this sounds like.

Are you tired of listening to Monster Mash over and over again on Halloween? Throw this one on and really freak out those trick or treaters.

I've enjoyed a fair bit of Residents in my day, though on this listening I found myself mostly not in the mood for the aggressive wierdness. I admire the obdurate artistic rejection of accessibility but I'm not sure they were all that great of musicians.

Godverdomme deze hakt er in. Alsof je op een verjaardag bent waar teveel kinderen zijn die allemaal van die Fisher Price rommel met batterijen erin hebben. Semi-willekeurige geluiden die vooral irritatie opwekken, maar dan ook nog dissonant als de ziekte. Wat kut. Ik kan vrijwel altijd wel iets positiefs vinden in een album maar in dit geval moet ik me gewonnen geven. Dieptepunt.

This was a trolling attempt right

This must be a joke. I’ve been reviewing these albums for over two years and this has to be the worst one yet.

The only reason this is here is because it’s from before streaming, when if you bought a shit album you had to convince yourself you liked it.
