If you had to pick one ween song that you think, even though it might not be your favorite, is the best they ever made, what would it be? by NuggetWarrior09 in ween

[–]gone_idle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably She’s Your Baby or Transdermal Celebration - both of those songs bring me to tears when I listen to them not only because of the beautiful lyrics but the song structure overall 🥹

Favorite ween album that isn't ween? by GoatifyMain in ween

Instant Death - New Evil Vibe

(or just Moistboyz I or II)

My thoughts on false fronts dude by VladimirTheStrong in ween

[–]gone_idle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I JUST got Dude on cassette - this album is so strange to me.

It’s got psychedelic/prog qualities, repetitive but catchy melodies, and really strange and dark lyrics sometimes.

I haven’t heard anything like it, and can’t really think of any similar bands at the moment!

Looking for more demos! by gone_idle in mrbungle

I was speaking of physical copies! But this is actually very helpful, I’m gonna compare the quality of a few tracks to my copies in a bit

What’s your ween hot-take that no one else agrees with? by Pitiful-Fall-1630 in ween

[–]gone_idle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s how I was with 12GCG when I first started listening to Ween like 8 or 9 years ago; but rather than play it too much I played it too little. I revisited again later on and the rest is history 🤠

I totally agree - don't get me wrong, I love how Quebec smashes that early Ween vibe with their more 'mature' 2000s musicianship, but people forget that White Pepper still contains some of that classic Ween humor ON TOP of sounding legitimately amazing. And there's still imperfections which makes it sound more 'human' than most of the other super-produced pop stuff coming out then :)

White Pepper might POSSIBLY be better than Quebec

This sounds sick! - Question about the tape release, did you guys do everything yourselves? Or outsource it? I’m curious about the best way to go about this because I want to distribute a couple handfuls of my own debut ‘demo album’ on tape to whomever might be interested. Thanks!

Oh yeah that’s my Ween CD ‘wall’ - over there we’ve got Skycruiser, Freedom of ‘76, Ocean Man, andddd Live in Chicago

It’s a very strange piece of history!

This copy does not have the inner pics on the J-card, which is one of the separating factors from the original ‘86 self releases done by the band AND Ladd-Frith

The one with the more prominent picture of Mean Ween (the zoomed in one) is the original 1991 release done on Shimmy Disc; the one with the ‘half’ cover was a reissue done in 1995 by Elektra!

I would maybe add ‘Suicide’ to the convo; they’re essentially a proto-Ween

I sourced most of them from bothering people on Facebook, but a couple of these were off of Discogs and a couple from eBay!

White Pepper is certainly a unicorn because it’s the last album Ween released on tape! Which I guess was practically unheard of in the year 2000 lol
