The Residents - Whatever Happened To Vileness Fats The Census Taker

Review by Rui VIANELLO

The album Whatever Happened To Vileness Fats The Census Taker by Residents is a unique and experimental piece of music that pushes the boundaries of what is considered conventional music. The album is a concept album that tells the story of a character named Vileness Fats, who is a census taker in a dystopian society.

The music on the album is a mix of different genres, including rock, electronic, and experimental music. The use of unconventional instruments and sounds adds to the overall experimental feel of the album. The vocals are also unique, with the use of distorted and manipulated voices.

The lyrics on the album are dark and thought-provoking, exploring themes of societal control, conformity, and the loss of individuality. The story of Vileness Fats is told through a series of spoken word segments, which add to the overall narrative of the album.
