Duck Stab lifted people out of the slumber of the Seventies. Rhymes, rhythms, and instruments of unknown origins.

Musically, it's difficult to describe this diverse album. There is a silky, seductive, and murky aspect which creates a supporting liquid background upon which the lyrics float.

There is a balance between the music and the lyrics. They never step on each other as they take turns moving in and out of the foreground.

The lyrics play a very dominant role on this album. They are like rhyming instruments that project pictures before our eyes.

A style emerges in the imagery and in the lyric rhythm. The Residents use words for the sake of their sounds, and for how they feel when leaving the tongue.
