The Gingerbread Man is your host in the interactive version of this album as you explore the different psyches depicted in the songs. You visit each psyche through the Enter Eye and listen to the song that depicts the psyche as you click on various buttons with pseudo-random results. This is the greatest strength of this interactive CD release---nowhere is the randomness as effective as in the song The Aging Musician, where pressing any key results in an onslaught of guns. Combined with the lyrics, they clearly get their depressing message across effectively. The Residents have also used graphics and animation in a spooky and eerie way to supplement the craziness of their characters (from this review).
CD imaged as a bin-cue pair, compressed with Mac OS zip. Burn with Toast (for example) to make a CD that contains both application and audio partitions.
