Moreover, you risk really coming off as a "poser" with a review like this, as the reader might even believe that you haven't even listened to the record in question (maybe the reader is wrong, though).

Bullshit aside, it's too intellectual for my tastes (I'm a country person), full of clichés, and it doesn't do justice to the greatness of the Residents... what a shame, sanjuro, you were on the mend... :-(

The last two songs bore me because they are too jammy... one of the strengths of the Sabs was their ability to free themselves from all those endless psych-blues jams filled with solos and meandering that were rampant in the 60s, but they only achieved this completely from Master of Reality onward... the first two albums still contain several psychedelic remnants, even though tracks like NIB, Wizard, War Pigs, Iron Man belong to a different era, dry, angular, dark, and violent as they are... in any case, praise to the Sabs, perhaps one of the 10 most important rock bands of all time...

Well, I liked Trout on the first listen... I think the early Residents albums are more "to understand," in the sense that they are more cryptic and indefinable compared to Trout... Safe as Milk isn't as crazy as Trout, but it interprets the blues like no one else had done at the time (it wasn't psychedelic, it wasn't mannerist, it wasn't elaborate: it was the rawest and most primal blues imaginable in 1967, and if I had to find its heirs, I'd immediately think of stuff like the Cramps or J. Spencer)... as for the ratings from this or that critic, who cares ;-D
