Heavyweight 180gm vinyl LP pressing. 1997's The Mollusk is yet another sign that Ween just got better and better with each record. The Mollusk is perhaps their most concise and well-honed record to date. After the previous year's exercise in country music (12 Golden Country Greats) the duo returns to its usual genre jumping, though there is a heavy focus on Prog-Rock. Often nautically themed and, as always, way smarter than they're given credit for, The Mollusk is one of the highest points in a brilliant catalog.

Kings of home recording, the two masterminds of Ween (grade school friends and twin brothers Gene and Dean) have taken the four-track portastudio to the very limits of its potential on this compilation of the throwaways from the sessions for their Elektra debut Pure Guava . Recorded in an apartment above a barn in their home town of New Hope, Pennsylvania, their studio, affectionately named The Pod , featured the aforementioned recording device, a few crappy 80's effect boards, various drum machines, keyboards, guitars, and copious quantities of inhalants. The cover art even features a mangling of the cover of The songs of Leonard Cohen with a gas mask equipped to aid the inhalation of Scotch Guard spray starch covering Leonard's face. What is contained within is one of the most eclectic, original, and truly warped collection of songs . . . ever.

For the past 20 years, Ween has established itself as a major artistic force, combining off-the-wall musical antics with brilliantly creative songwriting. La Cucaracha, Ween's new studio record, is an eclectic, dark, humorous, and bizarre assortment of songs. In other words, it's a typical Ween record. These thirteen tracks, though strongly diverse, share a common theme: relationships. It's a theme that can be at once joyful, morbid, humorous, and often frightening. From the tenderly introspective "Lullaby" to the disturbingly offensive "My Own Bare Hands," Ween pulls no punches in its latest endeavor, which acheives its power through sharp wit, clever songwriting, and brutal honesty.

Shinola Vol. 1 is a collection of songs that were left off other albums, the "brownest" strains of Ween's oeuvre are on proud display. Brown is the code word Ween uses to describe music that's warbly, pitch-shifted, and plain strange. The stompy, squirty opener 'Tastes Good On The Bun' falls into this camp, as does the astral travelogue 'The Rift'. Elsewhere Ween's gleeful, Saturday morning cartoon side surfaces in 'Boys Club', begging the question of when exactly they'll join Danny Elfman and Mark Mothersbaugh in writing music for movies. Their reverence of Prince is felt in 'Monique The Freak', which contains what have to be the dumbest lyrics in the Ween canon. 'Gabriell' could make it past even the most vigilant customs agent as a rare Thin Lizzy track. For a collection of odds-and-sods, Shinola Vol. 1 stands up remarkably well with other albums like The Mollusk and Quebec. Schnick-Schnack. 2006.
