Ween's masterpiece came out 35 years ago today.
>>131608495Pure Guava better
>>131608499Does Pure Guava have two parts of the Stallion? No. It only has one.
>>131608516It has their best song though
>>131608495this is their third best album.
>>13160849523 tracks of distilled ween, such a fun album
I'll start with the basket of chips
>>131608533Loving U Thru It All?
>>131608904>that will be $15.26>out of $20?>ok, $32.14 is your change
>>131608495i never cared for ween and i don't believe that people like them sincerely
>>131609437Ween are fucking kick ass, Deaner is one of the best, most underrated guitarists and Gener is one of the greatest songwriters, and in his prime was in serious contention for best rock singer of all time.Freeman and Melchiondo are two of the most creative and important rock musicians of the last 25 years.If you ever need definitive proof of this watch: Ween - Live in Chicago 2003 on youtube, incredible performance at the height of their power.
>>131609437To me, Ween is the unpretentious joy in creation and music. They like Prince so they made music that sounds like Prince. They like country so they made country music. They like making themselves and each other laugh so their music is sometimes ridiculous. If something is seriously troubling them they'll put that energy into a more serious song. But most of all they like doing shows and entertaining. I think the only time it really feels like they're concerned with living up to expectations is when they made La Cucaracha, their final album, and it's why it's their weakest. Their music is just fun. And they have the skill to back it up. Gener has insane range in his voice, and Deaner is as skilled a guitar player as they come.
>>131609757Absolutely
weenfans not samefagging challenge impossible
>>131609863Ehh, once you "get" Ween you realize how underrated they are, they SHOULD have been (deserved to be) massive.
>>131608495I bought the new hoodie
>>131609422>I WAS- I WAS GONNA SAY THAT
I love Ween and I have hung out with Dean Ween a few times actually, he's stand up guy. However, I'm on a completely different wave length from them. They also hate They Might Be Giants, which is hilarous, because I always felt they were the same band in many ways...
>>131613668Doubt
>>131613668TMBG is twee, apologetic, "safe weird." Ween is manic, laugh in your face weird. there is an ocean of difference between them
>>131609437>>131609863You faggot redditors seethe anytime anyone makes a thread about anything other than rap K-pop or whatever the latest current culture war thing is the fact that you call anyone who wants to discuss actual music “samefag” or “bot” is hilariously ironic considering you spam and derail these threads out of spite
>>131608499I'm a ween superfan and can easily say Pure Guava is their worst album. None of the tracks are that cool and all of the humor feels forced and less funny than GWS or The Pod. Like Pollo Asado, a singular track on The Pod, achieves more than what the entirety of Pure Guava was attempting.
>>131616157I like Big Jilm
"New" live version of Vallejo found through this website sent to the email list just nowhttps://unknown.ween.com/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m5nGV9fBokLooks like they are releasing a live album called "Boognish Provides" this year
>>131616157I'd say the first few tracks are verry strongStallion 3 and Dont Get 2 Close are both obviously great but I also love Little Birdy, Tender Situation, Push Th' Little Daisies and Loving U Thru It AllAlso the All Request Live version of Reggaejunkiejew is unreal
>>131608495I know the first two albums were DIY albums, but how did this album first get distributed? Tapes sold out of a car?
>>131616728huh, i could only get as far as the chronicles txt, how do you get to the youtube link?
>>131609712not exactly the best showcase for gene's voice, he sounds like shit there. if you want peak live ween then it's picrelated.
>>131618612all stallions, best pollo asado
>>131618612bitch where the mothufuckin' cheese go at
>>131615927Think about itBoth two piece bandsBoth alternative rock, genre hoppersBoth came out in the 90'sBoth play children's musicBoth have long standing careers lasting up until the modern dayAnd, apparently they have been on the same bill.
>>131618739Both are parody musicBoth lead singers take turns singingBoth started as a pure duo and then hired a backing bandBoth are considered quirky, outsider music almostIt's endless. They're practically the same people, too.
i played with the ween
>>131618739>>131618751superficialities. TMBG is to Ween as preschool fingerpainting is to Picasso. ween has depth, pathos, vision, a sophisicated sense of play. TMBG is "wheels in the bus" tier by comparison
>>131609437>i don't believe that people like them sincerelyOut of all the bands who try and be quirky and zany Ween are amongst the few that do it sincerely, all while actually making good songs. Their stuff is as fun as it gets
>>131608516Stallion 3 is better than 1 and 2.
>>131616157Wrong, you’re not a superfan.
>>131619461>TMBG is to Ween as preschool fingerpainting is to PicassoThis doesn't really prove your point comparing them to Picasso out of anything
>captain fantasy>right to the ways>sketches of winkle>dr. rockYep checks outAND...CAN U TASTE THE WASTE with butthole surfers' 'from pittsburgh to lebanon' and Killdozer's 'pig was cool' are on the same wavelength, just nasty rock musigs!
>>131619531I've seen them live 3 times, own a shirt, and like 5 of their CDs. You probably don't even know about the schizo guy in the boognish superhero outfit who shows up to every one of their concerts. Unless that guy is secretly you, then I'll allow you call me a fake fan.

>go to ween concert>hear banger after banger after bangeri missed voodoo lady when i saw them at red rocks because i had to take a piss
Flu music, it has healing properties
>>131620139must've been a long piss. They do Voodoo Lady for like 10 minutes.
>>131620293i was tripping and in the middle of a row, so it took some timeit was the only song i missed
>>131608516Does the pod have reggaejunkiejew though? that’s right nigger
>>131616157Pure Guava is the jack of all trades that blends all the best elements of Ween. It's got humor and weird lo-fi production like Pod and GWS, it's got sappy emotional songs like Quebec and Mollusk, it's got upbeat catchy radio tunes like White Pepper and C&C.
>>131620568>"Little Birdy"Comedy >"Tender Situation"Comedy >"The Stallion Pt. 3"Comedy >"Big Jilm"Comedy>"Push th' Little Daisies"Comedy/ radio tune (a mid one)>"The Goin' Gets Tough from the Getgo"Comedy>"Reggaejunkiejew"Comedy>"I Play It Off Legit"Comedy (perhaps the funniest track, despite all the comedy spam?)>"Pumpin' 4 the Man"Finally, not a comedy track>"Sarah"WTF, another non-comedy track? Has hell frozen over?>"Springtheme"Ah, ok things are back to normal now. Comedy>"Flies on My Dick"Comedy>"I Saw Gener Cryin' in His Sleep"Comedy>Touch My TooterComedy>"Mourning Glory"This the ear rape one? I forget. They probably intended this to be funny in their stoned out of their mind heads. >"Loving U thru It All"Comedy>"Hey Fat Boy (Asshole)"Comedy>"Don't Get 2 Close (2 My Fantasy)"Almost a banger. Still heavy forced comedy feel.>"Poop Ship Destroyer"ComedyThat's a total of 16/17 comedy tracks out of 19 total tracks. Then you have to ask, are any of these tracks actually as funny as a a random goof off song off GodWeenSatan or The Pod? The answer is objectively no.
>>131620629Having humorous elements does not make a song purely comedic. Also what makes you think Springtheme and Tender Situation are comedy anyways? What's funny about those?
>>131620629>Push th' Little Daisiesthis song made me not want to hear Ween ever again in the 90s
>>131620699>Having humorous elements does not make a song purely comedicOf course I understand this, I'm a fucking Ween fan! It's just that comedy is too much and none of it really lands that well on this album in particular. I think they we're too fucked up.>SpringthemeThe entire payoff to the song is you're supposed to laugh at Gener stuttering and fucking over a basic rhyme. Meh>Tender SituationIt's just inherently very silly. Come on. >>131620711Fair. It's quite mid. I will say it's worth giving them another shot because their music outside of this album is much better.
>>131620714>The entire payoff to the song is you're supposed to laugh at Gener stuttering and fucking over a basic rhymeAre you sure you're thinking of the right song? It's really not meant to be funny, it's just a groovy little song Gener wrote about whatever broad he was fooling around with at the time. >It's just inherently very sillyNahhttps://youtu.be/3MbVYgyMrUwAnd Reggaejunkiejew is funnier than anything on Pod
>>131620750This is probably my favorite performance of Tender Situation https://youtu.be/vlj3ggxRxDY
>>131620835>20y ago
>>131621262watching a melting gene perform Gabrielle at red rocks was something that struck me how much i love these guys and how long they've been around
>>131608533i agree, it does have demon sweat
just a fun pod songdr. rockhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deLPWyi4H-c

>>131630528i hope the nips that saw this left with their faces melted offi'm glad they started playing Final Alarm and i've gotten to see them perform it a couple of timesstill, the public access recording is something specialhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPfHJoEVORM
