With THE BUNNY BOY, The Residents have created another off beat pop gem. A sonic roller coaster in the style of Duck Stab, The Commercial Album and Demons Dance Alone, the album features 19 fast paced songs. Obsession, insanity and the coming Apocalypse

This is a must add to collection of any Residents fan. This live show was amazing!
Dark side of the...Bunny!? September 22, 2008
This album is a great listen. It is definitely not without it's element of creepiness that comes standard with any Residents' release. Without explaining the storyline let me just say that this album is among their better stuff. It is UNCANNY how perfectly this cd matches up with The Wizard of Oz. Like seriously! I had never done the Dark Side of the Moon thing so A friend asked If I wanted to and much like I suspected (after like 3 songs) it did NOT impress me. However, my friend wanted to hear the Bunny Boy so I suggested we play it alongside Wizard of OZ and Holy Sh** It matched up to the T. It's almost like they timed the album to match up to certain parts. It was hilarious!!! It definitely gives the actions a stranger feel. Also makes me want to sync up other Residents' albums to that movie. Match it up to the 2nd Lion roar and you'll be in business. Trust me if you want a good laugh!! But yeah a good listen as well.
Wahh, it doesn't sound like Duck Stab, wahh. September 18, 2008

Buy or die with confidence that this is THE RESIDENTS bringing the goods once again. Great story, great writing, great imagery, great aural experience, but not for the uninitiated. This album is only a part of the whole project which also involves an internet video series and world tour - [...] has much more info!
This sounds like THE RESIDENTS.
Fantastic psychological mystery and twisted pop tunes September 18, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
"The Bunny Boy" is a movie serial being released online by The Residents. The Bunny Boy, proper, is a man desperately reaching out for help in locating his lost brother. He has decided to create videos in his secret room, his personal sanctuary, and post them online in the hopes that someone will reach out and help him.
It is a vast psychologial mystery, at once frightening and empathic. You will feel apprehension and sympathy for this strange character as he disjointedly reveals clues to his brother's disappearance. While not as apparent on the CD, the videos are full of hilariously dark humor. The project seems vastly personal in many respects, and frequently crosses the line between the characters of the story and the lives of the Residents themselves. Long-time fans will be drawn in...
The album "The Bunny Boy" is a collection of songs based on events from the video series. Sonically is it similiar to recent releases such as "Demons Dance Alone" and "Tweedles," with wonderful synthetic textures; musically it is very upbeat, very catchy, very enjoyable, with many ideas condensed into each composition; vocally the Singing Resident is featured on every track, backed up with very creative chorus structures; lyrically it tells a story of sadness and madness, of confusion and delusion, of helpless fear.
There was some misleading PR nonsense comparing the release to "Duck Stab" and "The Commercial Album", which should be quickly put to rest. Anyone expecting to hear another "Duck Stab" will be disappointed. There will never be another "Duck Stab"; that was recorded by a band back in 1978, a band which does not exist anymore. Are you the same person you were in 1978? If you really yearn to hear music by a band that has exhibited zero growth or creative development in thirty years, then uh... go listen to the Rolling Stones.
This is one of the most enjoyable Rez releases in many years.
If you liked the strange interpretation of popular music on "Demons Dance Alone," the stark emotion of "Animal Lover," the mystery of "The River Of Crime," or were simply disappointed by "The Voice Of Midnight," you really need to pick this up.
"The Bunny Boy" represents The Residents in top form in terms of storytelling, psychological exploration, and bizarre-yet-catchy melodies. It breaches pop music in a most twisted fashion, and the mysterious clues of The Bunny Boy's inner sanctum truly blur the line between fiction and reality. In this respect, it seems to be one of the most personally revealing projects in the Residents' career.

The Residents' website promised that The Bunny Boy would resemble their classic albums Duck Stab, The Commercial Album, and Demons Dance Alone. Indeed, The Bunny Boy does feature short songs and the Southern-accented male Eyeguy singing lead on most of them (and yes, I know he didn't sing much on Demons). However, The Bunny Boy's songs have very little sonic variety, with candy-coated, sickly-sounding keyboards and constipated beats dominating, and the male Eyeguy sounding a little sickly himself. The album bored me; an uncreative song, no matter how brief, can sound as if it lasts for 394,506 millennia.
