Title: Almost great
Review: As you probably know, this is a CD of 40 songs, each exactly one-minute in length. It's a great one to have just for the fun of the concept. The difference between this album and the pop songs they are supposedly (but aren't really)parodying is that most of these songs BEG to be longer, whereas if they really were pop songs they wouldn't.However, it is not the best Residents CD. This album came out at the tail end of their creative peak, and after a dozen or so songs, the album starts to sound like channel flipping. "Here's a sound, here's a chord, here's a weird instrument".That said, it's a lot of fun. Who is that on the cover? Streisand and... Travolta, maybe? Listen for an Andy Partridge vocal about halfway through....
Is the review positive or negative?
