Residents - Our Finest Flowers

"Back in 1992, when group was only 20 years old, The Residents were searching for a way to celebrate their birthday. A Greatest Hits album was suggested, after a moment of brainstorming, they opted for mash-ups, an idea they had invented with The Beatles Play the Residents in 1977. Inspired, the group combined melodies and lyrics from their twenty years to create new and intriguing tunes."
"The Residents' 20th Anniversary summation of their previous output could have ended up sounding like a cheap rehash of past glory. Instead, "Our Finest Flowers" is a completely fresh and orignal sounding collection. The concept here was to merge themes and snippets of older Residents songs into new songs. The formula works, and the result is songs that are both interesting and new while at the same time giving long time fans a warm, fuzzy, familiar feeling. Not for serious fans only, this CD would be a welcome addition to even the casual fan's collection."-Robert J. Burdick
