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. Stands the test of time I take offense to the person who said "punk" as a bad thing. I can't believe how long it's been since this came out. Punk can be good when it's done well, as can all forms of music (I love a lot of old-school hardcore stuff). It can also be horrid (like when Guns N Roses attempted to do it or most of the awful pop/punk bands of today). In this case, yes there is a definite punk sound in many of these songs, but Ween put their own twist on it, as they did with country, funk and even Irish music later on. I still pull this album out once in a while to this day and every time I do it, I am thoroughly reminded of why I love this band. While I'd rate my Ween faves as a tie between "Pure Guava" and "Chocolate And Cheese", there IS NO perfect starting point for a first-time Ween listener. There's simply too much to digest and one record is not necessarily reflective of them all. It's pretty much a crap-shoot, but if you hear the right record you just might end up being hooked like I am. I think this album is very much as important as their later recordings. not for first-time Weeners "Punk" is the first word that comes to mind to describe this album. This album will scare away potential Ween fans. The Ween brothers are very talented, much more than this album showcases. If you want the REAL Ween experience, get Chocolate and Cheese (far and away the best Ween album). Period. . You can see a complete list of all Ween discography, or go back to the Ween tabs
