"The Residents are some kind of American treasure. There is a multitude of reasons for this, but let's just focus on two right now. One: this group is resilient. They've been doing this for nearly 50 years. Few artists get anywhere near that landmark, especially without losing their integrity along the way. Two: They are just plain weird, and right now, if not always, we need some weird in our lives. Weird distracts. Weird makes us think. And most importantly, weird makes us smile. So, the release of a career spanning Residents box set is right on time. 80 Aching Orphans is 80 tracks spread over four discs, so it's a heavy load, but for new and old fans alike, it has a lot to offer".

"This new collection provides a tantalising glimpse into the world of the Residents. To newcomers it is an excellent primer - if you have an adventurous mind and ear, don't worry, dive on in, the water is lovely, if a little dark. Fans will argue long and hard over the omissions and inclusions, but for me it perfectly does the job it set out to - encapsulating the weird, wonderful world of some of music's sharpest minds".
