Duck Stab / Buster & Glen

Humorous but hard to listen to.

ngl lie i enjoy weird shit like this

Very zany.

Not necessarily 'good' but there's nothing like these fellas. So suck it up, at least one of their albums belongs here forever and always.

Pretty certain this album has to be a prank, I’m not laughing

Nope. Really weird "music".

The musical equivalent of those cartoons from the 30’s and 40’s that were really scary for some reason. Like Mickey Mouse getting dragged to hell by demons or something. Really glad I listened to this as it is so interesting, but not something I would listen to beyond a “huh that’s neat”. Favorites were Constantinople, Weight-Lifting Lulu, and The Electrocutioner.

The second star is just mercy for the grace of being somewhat different and interesting enough through that.

Do I think the Residents are interesting and cool? Yes. Do I want to listen to this again? No.

I don't support duck violence. Also, what the dickens is this? Wiki says they're "approaching commercial elements", but it must be in the same way (.001, .002, .003....) is approaching infinity.
Interesting titles and lyrics, but the sound is like... if you put a bunch of traffic jammed robot cars into a metal pipe and bent it in half.

'Weight-Lifting Lulu' kinda sounds like 'Rock Lobster'. Or maybe by this point in the album I've gotten complacent.

Highlight: Big Brother's Zingbot has a verse in 'Blue Rosebuds'. So I'll give it a 2 just for that.

Oh, Duck Stab... it's definitely a jarring experience every time a new song starts. So much happens all at once with no preparation. The vocals are wacky and sometimes hard to follow. All things considered, though, it's really not that crazy of an album. It follows a structure and apart from them throwing in everything that makes a sound that may be considered an instrument and turning the distortion up to 11, you get some seriously interesting, funny and honestly pretty good music.

I can absolutely see why this album is rated as low as it is. I got used to it fast and vibed the whole way through. Both sides are pretty distinct too, but they also work very well together. This for sure was an experience I am glad I got from the generator.

Wouldn’t consider this music.

At least the duck doesn't have to endure that anymore.

The next guy that has birthday will get the birthday boy song as a gift.

It's like waching Salad Fingers

Not my usual cup of tea, but I quite enjoyed that. It's what? Mushroom tea? Oh.

Ok... this was interesting. This is definitely a difficult album (especially after a first listen). It is very original and it kind of gets better if you make it through the initial barrier. I think that, just because of its originality, this deserves 3 stars.

true experimental, sure I wouldn't listen to it on a daily basis, but if ill be feeling avant garde one day, ill definitely reach for this as well

I don’t know quite how much this benefited from me listening to it while walking the dog along Seahouses beach, but by the end i think i actually enjoyed this.

I could see the appeal of this, its kookiness and strange tracks work individually for me. There are lots of albums i have enjoyed that feature a couple of kooky tracks like these. However an album full feels a bit overkill or at least i thought it did. It actually began to get inside my head and whilst i wouldn’t rush out and buy it by any means it was far from the bargain in bucket drivel that occupies my 1/5s. Its not an album i can imagine just listening to attentively but in the setting i heard it i think i’d say it’s a2.5/5

Well, at the time of writing, this album was globally considered the 4th worst album on the Generator.... And yet, I did not hate it as much as The Liars album (6th worst), which, despite very strong competition (here's looking at you Trout Mask Replica), remains my most hated album so far.

That being said, this was not good. It wasn't the worst thing instrumentally, but lyrically and vocally it was utterly and completely bizarre.

In some ways though, I do feel like my life has been enriched slightly by knowing a band wrote the lyric:

"Cadavers filled with onion rings and feet are filled with glue"

It's still a 1 ⭐ though.

1/5

Won't be listening to this again. Just don't see the point.

Polémico: me gustó muchísimo y ver que tiene tan malas reseñas me sorprende, people just can't have fun. No me pareció tan experimental e inescuchable. Le pondría 5 estrellas nomás para joder, pero las tengo reservadas.
Me dieron ganas de escuchar más cosas de The Residents.
