The Mollusk video is so brilliant

My very favorite non shock value Ween song has to be Exactly Where Iām At. Love the meta-ish lyrics before it was even a ting.

Funny, I havenāt listened to Ween for a very long time. Hearing all these songs again reminds me how Absolutley brilliant they were, simultaneously silly and outstanding song writers. Iād defiantly class them as a psychdelic band, but only because I listened to Ween while tripping quite a bit when I was younger. Skating across town at night, with no one around, just Ween in the head phones.
Ween are still brilliant.

That walking barefoot on the beach with guitar bridge is ace!
Also, I love how they actually rented a house down the Jersey shore in the winter to write and record The Mollusk. They are truly method musicians!

Several months ago my friend introduced me to their music. Never heard it before, quite an obscure and underrated band nowadays. The songs I heard had some very subtle musical jokes and mixture of styles. And havenāt started analyzing the lyrics yet, there should be definitely a lot of mindf@ck 
Not sure if this comparison is appropriate, for me they are like Beck done right and on totally different level.
And just have a look at the used vinyl prices 
Shame that nobody re-releases themā¦ Correction, Mollusk was reissued in 2021, but the prices are ridiculous still

I actually think they were somehow more obscure and underrated maybe 10 years ago or sometime after The Mollusk was released + Ocean Man being used in that car commercial and whenever before that when Phish covered Roses Are For Free from what I understand is what made them the most money in their long career. Nearly every forum Iām on in recent years, most which have nothing to do about music, has a very popular Ween thread which is surprisingly delightful. Anyways, what Iām trying to say is that they seem to be having some slow growing resurgence and I wouldnāt be surprised to hear their songs in some Netflix show or two sometime soon only to be discovered and adored by gen-z thusly renewing my faith in humanity.

No reason to force it. Like jazz, Ween will consume most of us eventuallyā¦

Iāll look for the link but the Gener in an interview said Whereād The Cheese Go was a jingle for one of the big pizza franchises that was ultimately not used.
Ocean Man was used for a car commercial.
Iām so glad they got back together. Iām hoping the Deanerās life is back on track.
