Chocolate and Cheese

by: Ween

Release Date May 14, 2007
Chocolate and Cheese was the first Ween album I heard, and it's fair to say I still regard it as their best. It's an album where every song is totally different to the one before it, but equally as great, and if I had to compare it to another album I own I couldn't.
Released in 1994 after three lo-fi albums, Chocolate and Cheese, in my opinion, is the most varied and easily accessible the band have made. This isn't a straight forward rock album though, and humour, melancholy, and experimentation all play their part. Songs like Freedom of '76, a laid back R n B number, and Drifter in The Dark, a campfire sing along, sit next to songs such as the seven minute revenge tale Buenos Tardes Amigo.
Personally, I think the albums' quieter ... Read More:

At the Cat's Cradle

by: Ween

Release Date December 01, 2008
Just the two of them and a drum machine live...unbelievable! Really, what a great live CD. The bonus DVD is cool but the CD is fantastic. The sound, the atmosphere...just everything I wish I could go and see live like Ween did in 1992. Besides Live In Toronto probably one of the best live Ween concert takes of all time.

The Mollusk

by: Ween

Release Date July 05, 2004
The Mollusc by Ween hits me as quite an absurd album, an odd mash of styles at points sounding rather silly and weird, the only real link between many of the songs being a recurring theme of the sea.

The album opens up with the plinky piano of 'I'm dancing in the show tonight' with all the vocals completely warped, from child's voices to a low rumble.
This them morphs into 'The Mollusc' a slower paced acoustic and synthy track of a tale of finding a mollusc in the sand ('Hey little boy, what you got there, kind sir it's a mollusc I found') a very nice relaxing track, only with the rather strange lyrics

There are also songs like 'I'll be your jonny on the spot', much more guitar based, but still with just as odd lyrics ... Read More:

Quebec

by: Ween

Release Date February 26, 2008
I was going to add this review to the others where Quebec gets four and half stars, but it would be criminal to let this one stay at only two, so I decided to up the average.

I have every Ween album now and wonderful though they all are, I think this one is by far the best - others may have equally good songs, but Quebec just has the best strike rate. I also love the albums diversity. The opener is the best song Motorhead never wrote, then comes a complete contrast with the totally gorgeous Zoloft - the vocals in the second half of the song are just beautiful- which is then followed by the catchy hum along pop of Transdermal Celebration - a pretty excellent start and that standard is maintained throughout. Other favoutites are the gentle ... Read More:

God Ween Satan

by: Ween

Release Date January 27, 2003
God Ween Satan was a musical alleyay that I got lost down for a long long time. It made me like so much more about music than just the songs.

Puffy cloud recorded v low in the mix to LMLYP with apology to Prince to Tick to Fat Lenny... it just throws you off course and off balance with it's drugged up, stoned, giggling proto-musicianship

I never looked back after being exposed to this.

Mollusk, Pod and Chocolate and Cheese are all worth you time too.... for something v different try their stupendous country album too

La Cucaracha

by: Ween

Release Date October 22, 2007
Four years on since their last album it would appear the brothers Ween haven't changed a bit... And who the hell would want them to?
From the opening `Fiesta' (the happiest song I think I've ever heard) to the ten minute Led Zep go Latino jam `Woman and Man' the music can't help but bring a smile to your face. Like every Ween album before it the style differs from song to song, but ultimately it always sounds like Ween. So reggae, country, and foul mouthed rock songs all sit comfortably along side each other and there's never a dull moment.
Dean Ween says there's "not a wasted minute of music on there", and he's right. Every song is different so it's always interesting. And the songs are always brilliant. `Object' is like `Baby B****', `Learning ... Read More:

Shinola Vol.1

by: Ween

Release Date September 12, 2005
What a disappointing selection this is
It's obvious why these tracks didn't make it on to any of the previous Ween albums. The reason is that they are all filler and no killer and the Thin Lizzy pastiche of Gabrielle beggars belief. Perhaps Ween should have left such folly to a Thin Lizzy tribute band and tried to create something new of their own making.

The Pod

by: Ween

Release Date February 14, 1995
On the surface, Ween's "The Pod" is a shambling mis-matched mockery of music, and on my first listen, I felt disgusted that I had wasted my money on such trash. A few months later, with all but one of the tracks stagnant in my memory, I gave The Pod another go. This paranoid, uneasy collage of bad smells and nauseating food, wasn't for the entertainment of the listener, but exclusively for Ween themselves. You start to realise The Pod is much like that Zappa album you only managed to crack 30 years later; you just didn't understand the broad concept at the time. Given, the album does have a very shaky start, The Pod version of Sorry Charlie just doesn't cut it next to a live session, as do the accompanying opening tracks. Doctor Rock is distinctively weak sounding, ... Read More:

Even If You Don't

by: Ween

Release Date September 18, 2000
not only is this song catchy and likeable by even radio standards, but the video on it kicks some serious butt! i played it over and over because the silly looks on gene and dean's faces made me laugh every time. though i didn't quite get why the mule happened to pop in the video, though briefly. well worth the five quid.
