Masterful against all odds
. Don't let the crude production and adolescent vulgarities throw you off- this is inspired immaturity at its finest, compensating still growing songwriting skills with a youthful energy of id articulations and a remarkable diversity in genre mock-up's, which at their best already sounded more than jokes.


the debut of genius
While this album does lean a little toward the punk side, it's also very brown and weird. Ween's first album, GoddWeenSatan, is a remarkable debut and set a whole new sound and style. Like if a magic mushroom mated with a bag of meth, the baby bottle of scotchguard would be GodWeenSatan. It's very raw, even for Ween (I have the original CD not a reissue or remaster) but you can tell these two musicians are heading for uncharted territory yet very in charge of their journey. Standout tracks include Fat Lenny, Don't Laugh I Love You, and Marble Tulip Juicy Tree.


Re-evolve-lute-shun-airy
In songs, they create musical genres yet to be realized. What can one say about the mighty, "Ween"? I don't think the words yet exist to fully describe the strokes of the paint of the painting or the canvas of what they visionize. It's as though some mystical deity guides their every step and utterance. I am dumbfounded and awed, amazed. The world is a better place because of Ween. Groundbreaking! More important than flamingos. .


Hail Boognish!
In the cover there is a story of the brothers Dean and Gene Ween and their encounter with Boognish, who is displayed on the front cover of the album. This is probably one of Ween's most interesting albums. They go on to say that Boognish is the embodiment of two extremes: Good and Evil. The musical styles of this album are more or less a reflection of this concept. The gist of this album is punky, funky, and ultimately delerium, ABSOLUTELY a Ween album to say the least. There is even a funky cover of Prince's "Let me lick your p***y". This is definetely an album for Ween affecionados. Those who are recently tuning in to the band may do well to pick up "Chocolate and Cheese" or "White Pepper". Like the title of one of the albums songs, this disc is like a mushroom festival in hell. Hail Boognish! .


Their best
So unique, so ambitious, so funny and so very irreverent. This album blew me away when I first heard it 12 or 13 years ago, and I still think that it is Ween's masterpiece, and one of the best rock albums of the past 15 years. The range of musical styles and the freakiness of the lyrics placed Ween in a category all their own (although some might argue that Frank Zappa had lain the groundwork).

I don't think Ween has ever matched "God/Satan" for sheer start-to-finish genius.
