The Commercial Album is an extremely creative album released by one of the most celebrated experimental bands in modern history, The Residents. The album contains a whopping 40 songs, but each of them is only just over a minute long (the length of an average commercial, hence the title). Each song is a true work of art, with sparse lyrics that convey immense meaning in as few words as possible. The Commercial Album is truly one of the most ambitious musical projects this reviewer has ever heard; a lazier musical group would have stretched out the material and turned the Commercial Album into at least three or four records. Any fan of experimental music should have The Commerical Album in their library.
This is a beautiful re-release with a wonderful book that includes pictures from the DVD that was released at the same time. The Commercial album contains 40 one minute songs that were considered a little more "commercial" compared to their previous works. Every Residents fan needs a copy of this and a copy of the video. 5 Huge Stars.
