Art-rock band The Residents never shied away from the bizarre and 1978’s Duck Stab is no exception. This album is unsettling, unexpected, and unique in a way that is either going to feel like a transformative piece of experimental rock or nothing more than pure drivel. I tend towards the latter and frankly struggled to get through the 35-minute album without taking a break. But I ended up soldiering on, which says something about the point The Residents were always trying to make about life– being comfortable being uncomfortable is often one of the most important traits you can possess.
Standout Songs: “Constantinople”, “Hello Skinny”
