100A beautiful concept that's been beautifully executed.
-
80By turns oblique, soulful, scornful yet rarely dissonant. Rather, it's one of their lovelier, more formal offerings. [Mar 2005, p.108]
-
Going "conventional" may be the strangest move the Residents have ever made. [May 2005, p.178]
-
80A cracked masterpiece.... it rewards your attention with dreamy, surreal vistas, skewed poetry and flights of unadulterated musical madness.
-
70The Residents walk a precarious line between American underbelly creepiness and a more mannered absurdism. [#254, p.63]
-
60Fans will wallow in the superficial nuttiness of it all--though profound issues underlie the wilful eccentricity. [Mar 2005, p.96]
-
60Dystopia pop at its most intriguing. [May 2005, p.93]
-
60Not for the unquesting. [Mar 2005, p.101]
-
In small doses, Animal Lover acts as the perfect antidote to a musical landscape often cluttered by acts too timid to truly challenge their audiences.
-
60On Animal Lovers, the Residents show, as always, a lot of heart and thought in the lyrics and ideas and even in their theatrical vocal performances, but that effort only sporadically shows up in the music itself.
-
For better or for worse, the rest of the music world has caught up with them. [#9]
