It's very obvious this is their best album

Quebec is better

I just don't like the way it sounds, I liked them more with a little crunch
also lyrically it's complete garbage, almost as juvenile as a tenacious d album

>>74484485

This is such bullshit. Lyrically it's better than any album they released. Sonically you can try to elevate previous albums as "crunchy" but you can pull that shit with literally any album.

>>74484453

Don't even bother op. Ween fans are like juggalos.

>>74484515
no their earlier songs had more of an edge, there's nothing on this to live up to spinal meningitis or flies on my dick (which is a surrealist masterpiece, goddammit)

lol go back to listening to weird al and tencious d faggot

this is some manic pixie dream girl bullshit

>>74484485
>implying Tenacious D could write a song like Mutilated Lips

>>74484579

Those are just Zappa rip offs.

>>74484656
what songs do they rip off? I'm not ashamed to admit I don't know the entire zappa discography by heart
>>74484621
I said almost
>>74484610
I guess what it ultimately comes down to is this is the one where I skip the most tracks

Bands like ween, they might be giants, zappa, mr.bungle, have this weird energy were is sort of comedic, but at the same time also serious and talented music.

I call it quirk rock

this ween song is genuinely one of the saddest songs ive heard.

Manic Pixie Girl Rock

>>74484779
well the bands are guys so.
manic pixie guy rock

Ever since they went on about pussy for nine minutes (good idea) in a Princey blues-minstrel drawl (bad one), I've assumed they were the kind of rec-room gigglefritzes who enjoy a good nigger joke when they're sure their audience is sophisticated enough to enjoy it.

>>74484829

you what?

I don't like The Pod because i'm obsessed with my own image, I like it because of it's originality and consistency. More importantly I like it because of how it makes me feel, tracks like Sorry Charlie, Alone, and Moving Away are really emotional, I feel as though they show that from day one (or close to it) that they weren't one-trick ponies. They can do sad just as good (if not better) as they can do quirky.

The Mollusk may be their best overall but the Pod will always be my favorite album by them (and of all time).

Thank fuck someone has said it. I honestly think that The Mollusk stands side by side with albums like IAOTS but has been misrepresented by it's delusional fanbase.

>>74484453

Ween are a live band. Who gives a shit about the studio recordings anyway

The Mollusk is good. It also has the best song, Ocean man, and a few other noteables.
However in total feel of the album I have to go for pure guava.
the pod is kinda trash.

It's a fantastic album, OP, but Pure Guava is my favorite. The Pod is my least favorite of the 4 you named. I don't really "get" it, but I only gave it a couple listens so maybe i'll try it again some time.

>>74485188

Not op, I can agree on the feel of Pure Guava being awesome. It's a shame some of the tracks are misses for me.

I listened to this album a few months ago
I remember nothing about it so I cant even give it a rating

>>74485227
also I think it's weird that you think of Chocolate and Cheese as "pineapple on pizza" relative to the Mollusk when to me Chocolate and Cheese and 12 Golden Country Greats really have more 'normal' sounds than The Mollusk.

Personally I think every single release from godweensatan to The Mollusk is top tier except for the Pod.

>>74485269


You're just saying things without substance. I dont agree with everything op said, he at least elaborated on what he had to say. Can't say the same of you mate.

>>74485319
He's saying people try to underrate the mollusk because it's too 'normal' or 'accessible' for what they want their image to be, but I really don't think the mollusk is at all different from previous ween releases in that regard if you look at Chocolate and Cheese and 12 Golden Country Greats.
I think the real reason some people might try to downplay the greatness of teh Mollusk is simply because it's the most popular and it's generally the first thing people hear of Ween

>>74485369
>but I really don't think the mollusk is at all different from previous ween releases in that regard if you look at Chocolate and Cheese and 12 Golden Country Greats

Not sure how you can say that unless you're just being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian.

>>74485474
I don't see how you don't see that 12 Golden Country Greats is their most 'normal' album by a wide margin compared to something like the mollusk

>>74485560

On a very, very surface level. It takes the piss too obviously.

>>74484453


Even the Dean of Ween agrees with you. Ignore the shit fanbois.

Anybody have a discography link? I've been meaning to check Ween out.

Just go to the pirate bay.

>You see, Ween fans are the type of fans that want to appear "different" in every social interaction. They seek out weird music, they put pineapple on their pizza, I'm sure they wear socks with sandals in an irony turned post-irony move.
this is projection
>The problem? Well, they had already built up this fanbase obsessed with weirdo image and they've done their best to NOT elevate this incredible album. The dipshits send people on their way to the audio dutch oven that is The Pod as their first taste of Ween and potential fans get scared off.
this is straight up false
The Mollusk is praised to hell and back among Ween fans. other people thinking The Pod is better doesn't change that, everyone agrees The Mollusk is among their best albums. whenever someone says they want to get into Ween, they're always directed towards The Mollusk as the best starting point.

It obviously varies but lately i've been listening to Sigur Ros, Lemon Jelly, A Silver Mt. Zion, Lift To Experience and Tonstartssbandht. When I first discovered them I was really into Modest Mouse and NMH.
