Is this the greatest psychedelic album of all time?

...

I believe it truly and utterly is. From the moment 'I'm Dancin In The Show Tonight' comes on, I feel a warmth erupt inside me. The childlike playfulness and eager joy and goofiness in the lyrics make it a brilliant opener. The Mollusk [title track] is absolutely breathtaking and truly feels like I'm living at the bottom of an ocean. Mutilated Lips is a song about having sexual intercourse with a female on acid and it truly makes me cry with happiness every time I play it. Polka Dot Tail, from the moment it excites me from my head down to my nipples, certainly is NOT forgettable and feels like a weird shroom trip but if The Beatles sang about it. Johnny On The Spot is so fun and country-ish/slug-rockish that I can't help but bob my head when I hear it every day. Blarney Stone makes me piss my pants with happiness and the rest are fabtastic.Overall rating: 10/10, God-tier Ween album and the best psych album Praise be to the boognish! - Review written by Mike A. Hunt

It's a great album, but I wouldn't say its the best.

kek

Give me a reason why not?

HAIL BOOGNISH

THE BLARNEY STONE BRINGS A TEAR TO MEH EYE

>tfw your drunk and on mescaline with a friend and this song comes on and you get so happy you both dance until you pass out laughing

O

No but it's the best prog album of the last 20 years.

>ween on mescaline
that sounds fucking awesome

ween's humor puts me off. what is so special about them. can take zappa in small doses, except obviously his three or four masterpieces

No. You obviously haven't listened to much psychedelic music

It's the perfect combination. Especially The Pod, GodWeenSatan and The Mollusk. White Pepper too. Banana's and Blow is perfect and so fun. It sounds so brown.

Not all of their music is just goofy and weird. I am exhausted at seeing this misconception, meme or not on here. Yes, a good chunk is but a lot of it is also darker, and more serious in nature. Listen to songs like Tried & True, Captain Fantasy, It's Gonna Be Alright, She Wanted To Leave, Even If You Don't, and Alcan Road. All very mature songs.

not against goofiness per se, but something twee or a little willfully obnoxious in the arrangements.they don't seem to have much affective range. i am telling you this but i would like to get into ween. disliked the mollusk intensely, what should i go for?

If you don't think they have range, you definitely haven't listened to all their work. Start with Quebec next, it's like a better version of The Mollusk IMO, then if you like that check out Chocolate & Cheese, then White Pepper, then GodWeenSatan, Pure Guava, their country album and The Pod. In that order, listen through and let me know.

Some of their early stuff is pretty raw and experimental but there's some great moments throughout I think and I especially love their later work. Very underrated, it can take time to get into but once you do it's amazing. I started with The Mollusk myself, hard to believe you dislike it but whatever.

>Quebec
>it's like a better version of The Mollusk
How can you even say that? Quebec is great in it's own way but The Mollusk is thematic, theatrical and absurdly well crafted. They're nothing alike.

i honestly can't stand music that takes itself too seriously anymore.

goofiness perfectly complements technical complexity and great composition.

>thematic, theatrical and absurdly well crafted

uh go listen to quebec again dude. (Alcan Road, Zoloft, especially)

Try again kiddo

it's only that i don't find it funny or satisfying. not really my sense of humor. look at, e.g., steely dan--consummate musicians, and funny in a subdued way. that's much more my speed

but my larger point is that the whole project seems a bit schlocky and limited. i don't claim to be an expert, and will continue to try to get ween, but i really don't notice anything exceptional

ITT: Literal WOAHDUDEs pretend to know music. That music is not MUSIC. It's hippy waste made for retards who just turned 17 and checked out Sup Forums once and realized WOAH DUDE LIKE ITS LIKE TRIPPY WOAH XDDDD

Fuck off, cunts. Nobody likes hippy SHIT and DRUGS ARE FOR FUCK LOSERS!

You're either a pretentious sober stuck up hipster or a troll. Nobody can't appreciate The Mollusk. Every frient I've ever shown has fucking loved them.

lol no

KYS

shitpost i know, but you don't need drugs to appreciate ween.

why are you so mad bud? i'm making every effort to understand why you like it and enjoy it myself. but by the sound of
>pretentious sober stuck up hipster
maybe this is just comedy rock for vaguely alternative highschoolers

>but you don't need drugs to appreciate ween

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yeah you do, retard. Otherwise it sounds like retarded bullshit so you have to be retarded yourself (On drugs or alcobooze)

[bait] + [you] = ?

i am reaching out to you across a vast abyss of ignorance and darkness. tell me what made ween click for you, or did you always like it, friendo?

I heard The Mollusk after seeing it posted in a share thread about a year ago. I then became obsessed with it, especially the title track and Mutilated Lips. Eventually with the rest of the album. I then did acid and played it over and over and became even more obsessed with it. Went on eBay and bought a Mollusk tour shirt for almost 200 dollars. Went and saw Ween live last summer and had a blast and of course got into their other albums. Quebec and Chocolate and Cheese especially being my other favorites. Ween is the best. It took a little longer to get into their earlier, more experimental work but I love it.

Curb your autism kid

Ween is shit except for a special kind of fringeo. Not to say however that any of you are special. They've got a kind of principled arrogance (Zappa also had it) which blinds certain otherwise rational people. Grade-school humor, uninspired studio murk. Zappa at least produced two or three great albums. Do not fall for this meme, friends.

Animals exists

>Zappa at least produced two or three great albums

more like over 100
