    Lapsed fan's interest rekindled by definitive edition
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2018*

I used to be a mild fan of The Residents, rarely digging much deeper than their most accessible works (hello, The Commercial Album!), and my interest quickly waned in the mid-90's.  Honestly, I didn't think I would ever buy another Residents CD.  But then these newly expanded pREServed editions of their first two albums reignited my interest.And I am glad they did.  After countless reissues of these albums, with bonus tracks alternately appearing and disappearing between re-re-releases, these finally deliver definitive editions.  Each tri-fold digipak holds two discs and a thick booklet.  This is a surprisingly informative booklet--for a band whose primary claim to fame is their anonymity.Each CD is in its own protective sleeve (nice touch, that) and overflowing with bonus tracks.  In addition to extensively remastered mono and stereo versions of the album (Is there another album with as many differences between the mono and stereo mixes?), you get the Santa Dog EP and additional outtakes and related recordings.  There are an overwhelming 13 bonus tracks on each discs, many of which are more intriguing than what has been previously released from this period.  Heck, not like I'm knocking the album, but I would even gladly swap some of the album tracks with these "ephemera".  OK--I confess, "N-ER-GEE" can take a hike.The bonus tracks reveal so many detours and paths not taken by a group that was learning what they wanted to do musically and even what constitutes a "band".  In reappraising the album itself, I was amazed by how a set that is so often described as "off-putting" and "extreme" is largely a collection of pretty straight-forward tunes, played with standard instruments and usually in 4/4 time.  This may be a challenging listen even today (I'm still looking at you, "N-ER-GEE"), but it is an intriguing glimpse into the development of an embryonic band that grew into a big, faceless baby.

    Now if they'll only give the earlier demos this same treatment.....
  

*by R***. on Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2018*

These discs are A LITTLE TOO LOUD. They should have turned the volume knob down a little bit when remastering, but alas, this seems to be the way of reissues these days. In any event, it's great to have the album in both mono and stereo versions, and the bonus tracks are essential for Residents fans. Highly recommended.
