Somehow the Renaldo-geared tracks are the more-refreshing of the package, which was either to be expected or a great surprise; i'm not sure which. The Eyeball Boys were kind of in a lull at the time, and the Loaf kind of helped them out of it here. Nice.

Bizarre but short collaboration from The Residents and fellow Ralph records duo Renaldo & The Loaf. Minimal "songs" with vocals from both projects. Likeable enough listen and just the right length at 35 minutes but a couple of listens and I'm ready to wrap things up.

The Residents were having a hard time. Financial trouble, loss of friends, and big, important projects that either needed to be finished (The Mole Trilogy) or launched (The American Composer Series). All work and no play makes for dull eyeballs, but fortunately labelmates and kindred spirits Renaldo and the Loaf turned up, bringing their banjo, mouth harp, wide eyed naivism and positive vibes. So everybody made some songs, then played them loud and sang along. It was a good night. Some demons got exorcised as well - there is more than a little cruelty and abuse (given and taken) in these tunes.
Of course, for all I know the collaboration could have been laborious or difficult, but Title in Limbo has a flair of effortlessness and playfulness not present since Discomo. The singers complement each other well, and both bands appear inspired. It is easy to imagine these guys as street musicians playing “The Shoe Salesman” to a happy crowd of children and adults alike. Maybe Title in Limbo isn´t a cornerstone in the Residents discography, but it´s certainly one of their most charming albums.

One of the rarest albums I own (still has never had a CD release, as far as I know), a godsend for Residents and Renaldo & The Loaf fans (and there's obviously a lot of overlap there) though the eyeballed ones predictably get top billing and seem to dominate (the dark atmosphere seems more in keeping with Residents releases than R&TL, except for when Brian Poole's fruity voice rears its ugly head). Many great songs, some of which The Residents would perform in concert in later years (which makes the album's obscure nature seem strange), like "Mahogany Wood", "Sailor Song" and "Monkey & Bunny".

Two groups (each with a tendency to be rather silly) team up. The result is, yes, rather silly.
