I'll give 'em this: (a) "You Fucked Up" is here in early form and it's already a great song, (b) the catchy chord rocker "I Drink A Lot" isn't bad either, and (c) they're already pretty funny when they actually put some thought into what they're saying/singing. (Old Skull were pretty awful) My point is that it took Aaron Freeman and Mickey Melchiondo a few years to hone their craft.Īnd by "hone their craft," I mean '"not play 'Hey Bulldog' wrong and then title it 'Hey Bullfrog' even though the new lyrics aren't about a bullfrog." Remember Old Skull? This is ten times worse. Not 14 certainly, but 15 shit yeah! But even at that early Antarctic age I knew better than to enjoy hearing a little kid scream over a single guitar chord as somebody beats on something 4,000 miles in the background. I understand what it's like to a be a young person. "Also, 'Roeper'? More like 'GROPER' if you ask the front of my pants!"
3 are called "Boobs." Others are called "Yolk," "Oik" and "Blow It Out Your Ass." To paraphrase Roger Ebert, "I hate, hate, HATE this album!" At least 6 others are inside jokes about people they know at school. 7 other tracks are jokey song intros spoken through weird guitar effects so you can't make out anything they're saying.
#Ween discography review full#
Dean seems incapable of switching to a second chord mid-song: a full 12 songs consist of a single chord and screaming. Gene screams everything as loud and annoyingly as he can. The 45-minute Crucial Squeegie Lip features 40 different tracks TWO ARE ANY FUCKING GOOD AT ALL. However, never in your wildest dreams could you have imagined that the great Ween were once this unfathomably shitty. If you've heard the earliest Beatles recordings, you know that even great bands have to start somewhere, and that "somewhere" is usually pretty depressing. Because I would have ripped Dean Ween's arms off and used them to yank Gene Ween's tongue out of his head. It's a good thing I wasn't hangin' loose in New Hope, Pennsylvania back in 1986 because there is a sad chance that this world would never have experienced such incredible musical journeys as The Mollusk, Quebec, GodWeenSatan=The Oneness, The Pod, White Pepper, 12 Golden Country Greats, Chocolate & Cheese or Pure Guava. The Crucial Squeegie Lip - Bird O' Pray 1986 You can tune a piano, but you can't tune a guitar. If their early material doesn't make you laugh your clothing off, their later records will blow your music-loving heart. They're one of the most consistently creative andĮntertaining combos of our generation.
Sing about ridiculous topics and make fun of horrible diseases, but they are Them a great band that happens to be pretty funny too. The music, they do what they want (and they do it very well) - with the words, Into the dirt for generations? In short, WHY BE GENERIC? Ween refuse. Real? Or repeat the same sort of predictable social critique that's been dragged Music, it doesn't matter what the words are. I'm saying this from experience - if you really love See, regardless of titles like "Poop Ship Destroyer," You compared them to "Weird Al" Yankovic, and there's a darn tooting good Music to thrash metal to bubblegum pop to '70s guitar bombast to country/westernĪs well as sundry genres in between, the Weens would nevertheless probably get really Smoking the reef and imitating everything from soul Of profane absurdist music by turning on the old four-track and slayg 'em downĪnd slack 'em jack 'em. Mickey Melchiondo in the mid-80's rechristened themselves Dean and Gene Ween and began a career Young studs from the hot hills of New Hope, Pennsylvania, Aaron Freeman and I enjoy a good Ween cuz they makes me larf.
(Aside from "Weird Kula" Shakerovic) special introductory paragraph!
