I will still argue to the death that this is their best release
Let's go
>>65269313
Has it's moments, but sure as hell isn't perfect start to finish
>>65269359
It's going to be alright and pink eye ruin the Mollusk. Pure Guava is an artistic masterpiece with thought evoking lyrics that are deeper than Kanye's.
>>65269390
I will agree that Pink Eye is a weak track, but I love It's Gonna Be Alright. I see what you mean for Pure Guava. Too bad most of the songs with great lyrics are fucking annoying
>>65269390
You're describing Quebec though my friend
>>65269451
Or maybe... the whole discography?!?
>>65269448
They're both great albums though, I think it's kinda hard to determine Ween's best release considering how different each album is. I still think we can agree that 12 Golden Country Great's had only 2 good songs.
What do you guys think of White Pepper?
>>65270851
Unpopular opinion?
>>65270851
Good, but definitely not their best
>>65270851
I like it. Yes im a pleb but oh well. Album is pure bangers
>>65269313
This and GodWeenSatan are the best, if you're going thematically.
Am I the only one who knows PG is all about faggotry?
>>65270851
Exactly Where I'm At is GOAT song on not their best album.
Agree with you OP, Quebec is a close second, Pure Guava just gets annoying sometimes
>>65269273
This is the only album by Ween that I like. I don't know why.
This is actually Ween's best.
>>65269273
oh god the cover reminds me off the Undertale final boss so much. fuck that.
>>65269273
I can't imagine being the fan of this quirky joke band back in 97, looking forward to the next album. Then they release this atmospheric prog-rock masterpiece. It must have blown minds.
>>65269580
What a terrible opinion, 12 Golden Country Greats has 10 great songs. It also only has 10 songs.
>>65272177
That's because it's their only album where they actually took music seriously (to an extent).
>>65272393
Wrong

>>65272393
Their sound and lyrics might be quirky and sort of ridiculous at times, and I'm sure that doesn't deprive you the joy of e.g. Pure Guava, but to consider their music "unambitious" and "good for the sake of fun" is stupid. I think they are/were one of the best sounding bands out there. And the stupid lyrics are way more entertaining and meaningful to me than most average, strained-and-awkward _serious_ analogies for love adn other _serious_ themes.

The Mollusk isn't Brown enough for me. Pure Guava is their best.
>>65269313
this
100° celsius opinion coming through
>>65273695
It has too much filler, but still one of their best
>>65269390
>its going to be alright ruins the mollusk
plebian
>>65274006
Filler? I thought that was the issue with White Pepper.
>>65274032
Yep, it's definitely worse in White Pepper.
Still, songs like Alcan Road, Captain or The Fucked Jam feel mediocre to me
>>65269273
This is correct
>>65272373
>atmospheric prog-rock masterpiece
When will this meme end?
The Mollusk is just like all of the other Ween albums with a mix of goofy songs and serious ones.
Quebec is their best with The Mollusk in second.
12 Golden Country Greats is underrated.
The only less than stellar album is La Cucaracha.
>32
>this still hasn't been posted
damn you guys suck
Objectively speaking, Mollusk is their best album (and I don't even like it), with Oneness being their second best.
>>65269313
I'll agree with this
>>65271274
you're right
>>65275316
This and Pure Guava are the best one's
>>65275377
Objectively speaking, that is a shit opinion
>>65275377
Fuck off please
>>65269313
pure guava doesnt really seem to have a real purpose behind the weirdness, it's almost like they're going through the motions at that point. i feel like they were ready to move on to chocolate and cheese style stuff at that point but they still felt like they had to grasp on to the abrasiveness of their first two releases.
>>65273695
>>65275316
these are my favorites. quebec feels like an album made from true despair. the pod feels like a set of songs that couldn't have been recorded in any other way.

What's the deal with this album and band? is it comedy rock or something? Or maybe it's some epic alternative rock opera?
>>65277567
some people get it, some don't
>>65277791
Hmm ok, so it's that type of band. I'll give it a shot then.
>>65269390
It's Going to be Alright made me literally fall down crying. ( was going through a breakup)
best song in the album senpai desu sempai
>>65278210
Nah, man that's Golden Eel
>>65278210
>>65278479
The Blarney Stone boys
>>65278542
The Chicago version (and other live ones) is the only great rendition of it.
>>65278479
Muh nigga.
For all of the talk of The Mollusk I've never heard the praise that The Golden Eel deserves. Holy shit that's a great song.
>>65278590
I agree the live version is absolutely outstanding
>>65278542
aaaaye aaaye aaaaye
>>65279054
SHARPEN YOUR BOOT
>>65271516
Please elaborate on the PG faggotry.
>>65272382
The album name isnt referring to the songs, its referring to the 12 golden country greats who worked on the album with them
>>65269273
Really a bummer that Ocean Man is a giant meme and any time anyone posts this album half the replies are OCEAN MAN
Love this album, it's really good.
The Mollusk, Golden Eel, and Buckingham Green are all lots of fun on a bunch of acid
>>65281724
Not a single post referenced Ocean Man at all...
>>65281724
>>65282517
>Ctrl + F "ocean man"
>Three matches
>All of them are from these posts
half the replies indeed...
>>65273695
is it just me or does this album vaguely feel like a concept album? I know deaner and gener claim that the mollusk is their only concept album, but think about it. Starting out with "its gonna be a long night" a really aggressive song followed by "zoloft" a chill as fuck song. then throw shit in there like "happy colored marbles" and "if you could save yourself" songs about difficulties in geners relationship, it seems like the concept in this "concept album" is the events leading up to geners divorce.
Can anyone else agree on this?
Also, yeah, its my favorite ween album.
>>65277813
Listen to Chocolate and Cheese
honestly dunno how this is listenable at all for anyone
i like the idea + concept of it and it suits my artistic taste but it just seems super cringe to try to take seriously
maybe i don't get it and am a huge loser
>>65284199
It isn't a serious album though for most of it.
Buckingham Green is a funny parody of prog rock.
I like Ween's first two albums though.
>>65284199
>taking any music seriously
>>65282666
I think it's a concept album too anon..or at least I want it to be one
