5 out of 5 stars Berlin Sessions.......2002-06-23

Being in a Wormwood live show, I find that the Berlin Sessions is closer to the live performance and I think much better than the Curious Tales...Maybe it is the begining of a new age for The Residents-not bad indeed. Must for all Residents fans.

5 out of 5 stars Wormwood Almost Live.......2002-04-03

This is a very good studio effort. This CD is composed of a bunch of the Wormwood songs recorded in a German studio while touring the Wormwood show. The interesting thing is that the recordings were all mostly done in one take, giving the CD a very fresh, live sound and feel. I skeptically picked up the CD for 5 bucks as a cutout from RalphAmerica. The Residents are infamous for rehashing material for profit, and expected this to be more of the same. But I was pleasantly surpried. While the songs are the same as on Wormwood, their delivery is original.

1. The Residents make sense if you do not like Popular Culture.

2. If you like Music, you will probably not like the Residents.

3. If you're Weird, you will like the Residents.

4 out of 5 stars Residents Hit The Road with Roadworms.......2000-09-29

The Residents' last CD Wormwood, did the unthinkable for an American rock band. The tackled the Bible. Maybe not a stretch for a band that has covered Gershwin, James Brown, John Phillip Sousa, Hank Williams, and Elvis Presley, but still....THE BIBLE? Wormwood was 15 dark tales from the Bible. Excelently produced and presented, it did give me a new take on the Old Testement. They were a nasty bunch back in the old days, and it's all written down in the good book. But why would a band want to make a CD about it? And then why would they take it on the road?

Roadworms opens with a strange take on Grand Funk Railroads' We're An American Band. The famed eyeball headed band from Shrieveport La. takes on the little band from Flint Mi. with Un-American Band. They are coming to your land to make you pray with them instead of party down....
