Amazing monster of an album It has the perfect blend of everything Ween is about - the brown sound weirdness, the incredible melodies, humor, amazing guitar playing, and songs that are just catchy as hell. I consider Ween's The Mollusk their best album and creative peak to date. There's not a bad track on here. My favorite songs include The Mollusk, Johnny On The Spot, Mutilated Lips, The Golden Eel, Buckingham Green, Blarney Stone, and Ocean Man.
ANOTHER GREAT WEEN CD!
This one falls in the vein of White Pepper and Chocolate and Cheese. . Ween weirdness done with expert studio craftsmanship. They even throw in another dick song just to show they still suffer the effects of octopermanentia (intellectually stuck in the eighth grade). Get this one, White Pepper, Chocolate and Cheese, and, for a great example of their humble lo-fi 4-track beginnings, Pure Guava (pure fun weirdness and hilarity!). How these guys plagiarize the rule book, throw out the rule book, then re-write the rule book and go for pop songs simultaneously weird and well-crafted that get stuck in your head is anyone's guess. Brilliant.
really good!
it's fun to listen to and lighthearted. this album is pretty good. that's what i like about ween. they are good songs, played well by men! i think you should buy it, mang!.
Ween CD - The Mollusk
One of Ween's best albums! A must have
Fast Shipping, Great Price, Thanks! .
My second favorite Ween album
My only complaint is that they seem to not be able to handle success. Go buy this album! It isn't their best, White Pepper gets that nod, but it sure is close. They put together a couple of truly awesome songs and it freaks them out so they jam in some nearly unlistenable track that just grates the nerves. They cleaned it up on White Pepper and then really regressed with Quebec (half of that album could be deleted). Awesome prog-rock album that should have just been a concept album, ala Pink Floyd or Alan Parsons Project. .
