5 out of 5 stars A must-own........2003-12-03

This is just a totally cool album for anybody to have as part of their collection. I'm not even going to describe it, because you've never heard anything quite like this before so you'll have nothing to go by anyway. No words can describe this properly. Just pop it in, sit back, and be amazed at how COOL popular music can truly be.

5 out of 5 stars Abstract Storytelling.......2001-02-28

In 1988 the Residents embarked on a series on concept albums that explore the emotional world of people with physical deformities. "God in Three Persons" is a triangulated tale of a male and female set of joined twins who have mysterious healing powers, and a man, Mr. X, who befriends and exploits them.

The trio plays out the dynamics between bisexual men and the straight men who love them. The twins are blessed with a godlike compassion for all unfortunate people, including Mr. X. However, now that the twins have 'saved' Mr. X, he now seeks to control and isolate them for his own gratification. To his dismay, Mr. X's sexual encounters with the female twin always include the male twin, ultimately leading to disaster.

The cover art of the CD sums it all up. The cover depicts a snapshot from Mr. X's scrapbook in which he tries to make it look like two women are adoring him rather than the male and female set of twins.
