It's a similar affection to that of the much missed Hardy Fox.

Reference to moles.
That was probably a reason they got attached to The Residents in 'certain' people's imagination.

It's like a cross between The Residents and Arcade Fire.

Grudgingly, I'd say that that wasn't actually that bad.
I suspect that it's as good as we'll get though.

The song in itself is just too flimsy to match its ambitious arrangement and production.

Bells and whistles and kitchen sinks and everything, but if you tried to play this on an acoustic guitar at an open mic session at a pub you'd getting shandy thrown all over you.

And again.
Big, ambitious sound with lots of inventive and perky kn*bs and sartorial whimsies plastered on, but really no song to underpin it.

The musical saw's back.
A gimmick's a gimmick, fellows.
