The Residents - Animal Lover (2005)

This is perhaps the best place for a Rez novice to start - it may still be terrifying and bizarrely dark, but it is relatively "accessible" - very emotional songs ("My Window," "What Have My Chickens Done Now?," "Elmer's Song" etc.). It was my first Residents album and for several listens through I was petrified, but too fascinated to stop. Welcome to another place!
