5 out of 5 stars That's Jay right up front........2006-11-19

How many people do you need to get four eyeballs? Do the math. The Residents are two guys. Jay Clem and John Kennedy. That's them on the front cover,(John's in the back and Jay couldn't be anymore obvious). I know, I gave John a ride in my SuperShuttle once when I lived in San Francisco. So that's it...that's the "Big Secret"..."The Big Bubble".
This album is just as bizzare and unique as anything they ever did. I think most people will be thrown off because they assume that it is Part Three of "The Mole Trilogy". But it's Part Four. I hope that makes more sense.

2 out of 5 stars No Jose!.......2006-04-14

This is where it all started to decay and decline. I was (and still is) a hardcore fan of Residents early material, up until 1984 "Vileness Fats". But this "Big Bubble" is but as empty as its title. Almost everything The Residents did before this one was great and five stars.

Though tendencies started already with Mark of the Mole and Tunes of Two Cities (as well as the "history" albums), which took out the acoustic instruments and based composition solely on electronics, they still kept intact the residential idea and form.

Here the form is being mis shaped and the idea of compositions are straightway boring and a total decline from their earlier works. Apart from Snakefinger's good guitarplaying it is hardly endurable to even listen to at all. I think I've listened to this album, in its entirity, only but one or two times since it came out. I can sometimes listen to the last part of "Cry for the fire" (which is the "best" track on this set) because of the good guitar and the sillyish 80's drum machine.

From the miserable "Big Bubble" until today the Residents made a lot of recordings of same, or worse, noninspired boring sounds kind of stuff, not fun not weird, just outright boring and timewasting.

5 out of 5 stars great.......2005-10-27

this album is great and if you don't like it you have no business calling yourself a residents fan...if you think this album is boring go listen to green day you bunch of lousy pukes

5 out of 5 stars It Will Grow On You!.......2003-12-03

Not recommended for the Residential novice, but an essential for the eyeball audiophile!

The deep, gutteral "Mohelmot tongue" sang by "Kulla Bocca" is extremely earthy and raw. His musical accomplices add a dark savage beat to his whinings and gibberish.

This album is meant to be studied. All the stories and text in the liners are meant to be read while listening to this album. You will get an understanding of the Mohelmot culture and the Zinkenite struggles which the songs represent. Only with that understanding will the savage groanings of Kulla Bocca be understood in their proper prespective!

All joking aside, if you want a truly bizzare experience in listening to painful music that is flat out WEIRD, even for the Residents, then play this album and blast off into a permanent freakout!
