>Ween seem intent in proving that they can play instruments on Quebec (Sanctuary, 2003), but the result is that the duo is not even funny anymore. If they thought they could emulate Godspeed You Black Emperor (as in Alcan Road or If You Could Save Yourself), they were badly misguided. The truth is that even the best material, the hard-rocking It's Gonna Be a Long Night and Chocolate Town, would not have found space on their early albums.

>the duo is not even funny anymore
This is the sort of thinking fans need to distance themselves from, honestly. Yes the band has a very interesting sense of humor but that doesn't mean that's a style they need to rely on for every single album. Ween doesn't need to be strange to the point of comedy every single time they pick up an instrument, and if that's something people have trouble grasping I think Quebec is the album that can prove they're talented in their own right.

BASED AS FUCK

How is if you could save yourself like GYBE

Quebec > mollusk > rest is shit

Quebec fags never appreciate the superiority of their first four albums

this guy knows his shit
Chocolate and Cheese is probably third.

Quebec makes my Ween peak

The Argus is god tier.

Way to completely misunderstand the entire point of the album

idk man he's just retarded

for me, it's The Pod

LISTEN you fucking people, it is stated on record by both the ween boys that shit was never the same after guava. they were on the decline from then on and the mollusk is the exception not the rule. what made ween good was their friendship, neither of them are terribly fantastic musicians, but they wrote some great songs together and once that started to fade ween got worse with each subsequent release.

I disagree. Even after Chocolate and Cheese there are some real peaks in their output until La Cucaracha, and I wouldn't even call that a bad album.

whoops guys, wrong pic

You mean post-peak? Last possible peak was the Mollusk, but their real peak was Pure Guava.

Ween “fans”

That song would be an instant skip if it weren’t for the last 1:40

>I criticize the opinions of others without providing one of my own

"Pee Queen"

See

Quebec is the non Ween fan’s favorite Ween album.

FUCKING BASED
WEENFAG ON SUICIDE WATCH

based

it’s pretty hard to pick a favorite with such a diverse catalogue

the pod is a true ween fans favorite ween album

One of a few acceptable answers.

ween is becoming Yea Forumscore. the only qualifacations are
the pod (my vote)
the mollusk
god ween satan
craters of the sac
pure guava

>craters of the sac
fucking based.

TRANSDERMAL CELEBRATION

Give me that Z
O L O F T

gatekeeping ween doesn't make you a real fan

You’re right. Actually understanding the band is what makes me a real fan.

its like shinola vol1 but better. a lot better

Listen to your poop joke lofi buttock all day man, I’ll listen to the Ween albums I enjoy. I don’t need the ok from a “real Ween fan” to enjoy the parts of their discography I know that I like

Buttrock*

the most overrated band of all time, god these guys fucking suck.

die

people tend to get upset when I tell them the truth.

what makes you think that?

I've only listened to quebec, and mollusk, but for their supposed works they felt very juvenile. I found the overall instrumentation in quebec lacking ,regardless of their pretensions in trying to "vary" their sound by juggling so many different genre's from track to track. I listened to mollusk several years ago and remember generally thinking it was bland, I have a strong distaste towards these sorts of irony bands who don't take themselves seriously.

is this bait?
are you seriously judging an entire bands discography (who are known to constantly be changing their sound) that spans over 20 years across dozens of albums off of only two albums, one of you which you havent listened to in years?

yeah, especially if quebec is considered their best by most fans.

m8..

Great. Point still stands.

Most fans would cite The Mollusk as the best, but that isn’t the best representation of the essence band. You should listen to The Pod.

What music do you like?

quebec is considered their best because its by far their most accessible and straight forward release
listen to any other album

what you're doing isn't showing advanced understanding - you're just breathing heavily because you enjoy a less popular album

It's Gonna Be A Long Night - Motorhead
Transdermal Celebration - Foo Fighters
The Argus - Pink Floyd

Any others on Quebec that I'm missing?

how are either of those songs, or any ween song, like Godspeed

No love for white pepper? Let me tell you, if you ever need to introduce ween to a super normie, you can't go wrong with it.

You have the opinion you have because you haven’t been enlightened. There very much is a quality of Ween that some people get and some don’t. You don’t.

A friend of mine has said that if he were to give his dad a Ween album to introduce him to the band, it would be White Pepper.

that's their worst record, even la cucaracha is browner

White Pepper has some solid tunes. The Grobe is amazing

Live Grobe is even better

this is the most horrible opinion i've heard in weeks

Of course a band that has so much different material would generate this type of division. Ween rules. The pod is my favorite but quebec, the mollusk, chocolate and cheese, and pure guava are all acceptable imo.

The chunk of time leading up to the obvious good part is an absolute snoozefest.

Wow, user I feel bad for you that you don't like it
Yeah, the last bit is definetly the best part, but I think the arpeggiated progression along with Gener's vocal melody is absoluetly gorgeous, so dreary and mysterious...

>thinking Ween is a comedy band
extreme cringe

Not him and GodWeenSatan is my favorite Ween album but you're a pretentious, autistic faggot who takes pride in having esoteric taste and looks down on anyone who doesn't, like a true fuckwad hipster.
If anything you're the one who doesn't fucking get the band. Quebec is the logical conclusion to their discography. It expands on the psychedelic, pop and even country songwriting styles they've been dabbling with since fucking GWS while maintaining the eclectic style they've been known for since the beginning and simultaneously showing how much they matured since they started the band when they were fucking 15 years old.
But then there's faggots like you who insist anyone whose favorite album is Quebec isn't a ''''''true fan'''''' because the humor isn't as obvious as in their early stuff and they prefer tight songwriting over abstract lo-fi pastiches. You're denying the band their evolution just so you can stroke your e-penis about how much you're a REAL fan, and all those people who like their later, NORMIE stuff just don't get it.
God, I fucking hate Ween fans so much.

Feeling better?

Of course not, where do you think we are?

Absolutely this

Anyone who claims superiority by liking one album or type of Ween compared to another and says that others aren't "real Ween fans" are, themselves, not the real fans. Real Ween fans embrace the eclectic range of the band, from the zany and lo-fi tunes to the cleaner and darker cuts. You may not like one as much as the other but you can't just say what counts as true Ween and what doesn't

Not a bad album but incredibly far from being peak Ween.

daily reminder that anyone who unironically says shit like "ur not a REUL fan!!" about anything is a faggot poseur who's desperate for attention and deserves none

Imagine thinking one of the greatest works of art in the last 30 years is "not bad".

based

Imagine thinking an alright demo album is one of the greatest works of art in the last 30 years.

Seriously, it's a very alright album. That's it. Sorry your taste are like this man.

ok kid

our god has spoken

>production quality is sub par
>they're demos guys

:') thank you kind samaratin

demo album my right fece

based Scaruffi drone

i agree with this honestly, not the part where they have to be funny but i just don't find this album all that great. The Mollusk is a better example of Ween showing their strengths as typical songwriters.
