Title: Great Sounds, but Ultimately One Dimensional
Product review: This is one of the Resident's better cds. I like Third Reich n Roll and the Duck Stab ep best however. But, the flaw with this effort - which has some really interesting sonics - is that its too "cutesy." There is some great music, err, SOUNDS here, but, like Zappa's "weenie joke" music, it is ruined by the humor aspect. I also liked the mole concept, but the "ha ha weird" factor ruined it for me. I find it difficult to listen to this one more than once every few years. Compare this with other non-jokey "outside" efforts that hold up to repeat listenings like Brian Eno's beautiful ethereal tone poems, or the Curable Intern's dark sonic nightmares, or Kraftwerk's danz-pulse.
