In ''Demons Dance Alone'' era performances, Molly Harvey sang the parts originally sung by Isabelle while putting on a more childlike voice.

Added DiffLines:
* RevolvingDoorBand: Right up until ''Meet the Residents,'' the group wasn't so much a band as a loose collective of friends. WordOfSaintPaul has it that some of their earliest recordings featured as many as fifteen performers. This resumed during the 1980s, to a lesser extent--the band has at times been a three-piece, or even a two-piece, with the lead singer and Hardy being the only constant until 1999 at the latest.

Long Title is a disambig.

* LongTitle: The bonus disc included with ''Animal Lover'' bears the full title of ''I stood at my window staring at an arcing streetlight. A sudden wind made me pull my shoulders to my ears. I pissed into the dark. It smelled like canned tuna. My swollen lip throbbed. I could still taste the blood. My eyes rolled back looking for memories. I stopped. I was changing details in my mind,remembering only what I wanted it to be, not what it was. I had only a short time to do what had to be done, after that it would all be forever absorbed by my imaginary Jack.''

* DarkerAndEdgier: Nobody can agree when exactly, but after a certain point, their albums became progressively heavier and bleaker. This is especially overt with 2000's-era output such as ''Demons Dance Alone'' and ''Animal Lover'', with somber music and lyrics and almost none of the band's more surreal or tongue in cheek elements.
Added DiffLines:
* LaterInstallmentWeirdness: By the late 2000's, the eyeball and Mr. Skull costumes vanished from live performances, with the band shifting towards a revolving door of costumes and individual alter egos (whereas previous eras restricted individual personas to the Singing Resident).
