    Metal, Meat & Bone manages to be both a hypnotic and focussed listen, despite its length. For all its otherworldliness this is certainly one of their most powerful efforts and, for my money, up there with early classics such as Meet The Residents or Third Reich ‘N’ Roll, other brilliant subversions of sacred cows and taboos.

    An acquired taste for sure but ultimately scrumptiously delicious!

    There's plenty here for fans of both gutbucket blues and the rampaging over genres and moods that long characterised The Residents. [Sep 2020, p.35]

    The Residents are just as tricky and bewildering and (occasionally) irritating as they ever were.

    Gleeful scattershot collision between genres and theatrical drama, explored through such epistles as DIE! DIE! DIE!, barked by Pixies' Black Francis. [Aug 2020, p.92]

    I was worried that this album would fall short, because of the member gone. But this album is great! If you like the darker The Residents,I was worried that this album would fall short, because of the member gone. But this album is great! If you like the darker The Residents, then this is a real treat! I've always loved the darker and more disturbing stuff from The Residents over the goofy and silly stuff. If you liked The Ghost of Hope, Demons Dance Alone or Intruders, then you'll like this one!… Expand
