I can kind of understand why they got compared to The Rs now.
Not cos of the music, but because there was a very conspicuous attempt throughout to affect a kind of vivaciously ramshackle, "WEIRD" sound with what seemed to be the same kind of instruments and noises and filters and other stuff.
The difference is that The Residents were, for at least 5 years, literally just scrabbling about for instruments and whatever things that might make strange noises amongst rubbish tips in San Francisco with no money and making it up as they went along.
MR on the other hand use all of these sounds and elements in an arch manner and with the benefits of vapid studio trickery and combine it with songs that fell short at almost every point, moment and juncture.
At least The Residents didn't know how to write songs.
And then they met a geezer from London who did, but threw all of that knowledge out the window cos for 'sh*ts and g*ggles'.
They also had, along with T/G, one of the gertest one-man graphics dept. of all time.

I've just listened to my Deserter's Songs CD for the first time in about 5 years. 
I'd kept it in a separate box to my most favourite CDs so I knew that I must have at least accepted it into my general collection, and although it's perhaps not what I'd normally listen to I did enjoy it a lot more than I remembered. I think the saw used throughout is a delight.
4/5
