I don't get it. Is ween a joke band?
lole this is shit but I love it
>released on a major label
it was a different time
Fuck me, Ween have done a song in every genre, haven't they?
Also, isn't this more Death Industrial than straight Power Electronics?
if by "done", you mean "perfected", then yes.
This has always been one of my favorites on the album
>HE DOESN'T DO COCAINE

what's the joke?
No, they're just funny

How musically uninformed do you have to be to listen to this song and think "death grips"?
How many bands do you know?
Like twenty?
Amazing song but genuinely nothing like Death Grips beyond them both being hip hop influenced
Ween invented Elliott Smith

it's just a prank bro

This other than the obvious Ocean Man was the first song that got me into ween. Loved them ever since
I love ween but show me them doing a :
>death metal song
>grindcore song
>midwest emo song
>math rock song
>black metal song
>post-rock song
>american primitivism song
They wouldn't because all those generas are shite
if you go down to super specific subgenres then yes, obviously nobody has done them all. But they have done metal and emo. They have at least touched most major genres, moreso than literally any band ever
>moreso than literally any band ever
A wild MR. BUNGLE appears
huh.
Mr Bungle hasn't touched half of what Ween has on fucking GWS alone. Counting their entire discography, including B-sides, they're untouchable
They don't devote full songs to every genre, though. Their songs jump around
Mike Patton has probably been involved with every genre at least once, though

post favorite b-sides here

Should've got on one of the albums desu
>moreso than literally any band ever
naked city?
also show me a ween emo song lol
eh, no. Good band. though.
Maybe. Probably The Red Krayola too. I can't vouch for that though because I haven't listened to much of their discography.
the all request live version is great
When ween make a song "in a genre" it's just a pastiche. for example - Buckingham Green is a play on bands like Genesis or Jethro Tull and it captures the feel and lyricism of prog rock but not the virtuosity, composition, etc.
pastiches don't count as actually part of a genre
I'm not sure I agree with this. In some cases it counts and in some it doesn't.
Bruh. You're so wrong
God I hate Ween fans
...
>>midwest emo song
what song
what's wrong little guy?
"Mourning Glory" is not a fucking power electronics song.
Why do people not like La Cucaracha? It's not their best, but it's still a solid album
Their heart wasn't in it I feel. Still some good tracks
it pales greatly in comparison to their other works. it's easily their worst
True
"Woman and Man" is great but yeah it's the worst Ween LP
>death metal
>shit
leave the hall
I like with my own bare hands woman and man and blue balloon
No u
why did ween suddenly get way more popular on here in the last year
i embrace it but i'm not sure why
>i understand it but i want it
>see post
Oh I wonder what insightful thing this poster has to say
>read crazium
No, I don’t think I’ll read this post
They've absolutely done post-rock stuff by the way. At least, they've done loud, atmospheric rock music the likes of which EitS, Godspeed, and Mogwai are known for.
They have been popular on here for longer. But recently I agree it's kind of exploded. I mean fuck me Ocean Man has almost 19 million downloads on spotify and a year ago it was much less. Memes my dude it's the future advertisement for bands
>reading comprehension
how the fuck is this emo lol
the accent is semi-tom delonge esque but the music is nothing like midwest emo or any kind of emo really
ok give me an example? only one i can think of is captain and that's more of a pink floydian space rock track
Good chunks of Quebec in general are like that. The dynamic shift in "Happy Colored Marbles" comes to mind.
Great refutation.
"Blue Balloon" is alright. And I wanna give points to "Shamemaker" for sounding like an authentic skate punk song. That's fun.
Can we get a complete list of Ween's pastiches of other artists?:
>LMLYP - Prince
>It's Gonna Be a Long Night - Motorhead
>Gabrielle - Thin Lizzy
>Pandy Fackler - Steely Dan
>Shamemaker - Blink 182
Tear For Eddie-Eddie Hazel (more an ode than anything)
"Woman and Man" is very Santana.
"Sweetheart in the Summer" is hard to place just one artist, but it's very much plucked from the mid '70s where a lot of soft rock artists started copying disco and funk elements. It sounds vaguely like Fleetwood Mac but I'm sure somebody else can make a better comparison.
I always thought that Mister, Won't You Please Help My Pony? was a pisstake of this, but that might just be me
youtube.com
Waynes pet youngin is spot on husker du
Marble tulip juicy tree is like sonic youth
Any more of these
Old man thunder is bob seger
youtube.com
is Bowie
I've never heard Sonic Youth songs with those types of vocals/lyrics, or the tape wankery.
I'd say "Even If You Don't" is a pure Beatles send-up, with verses written by John and a chorus written by Paul. And "Flutes of Chi" probably has George Harrison roots.
"White Castles" sounds like Beethoven's "Ode to Joy".
"Bananas and Blow" is absolutely a Jimmy Buffet song.
Marble Tulip Juicy Tree is more Breeders or something
Bananas and Blow is like if a Jimmy Buffet song was sung by Bob Weir
Also they have So Long Jerry, written for Jerry Garcia
It's Gonna Be A Long Night is Motorhead
I'm pretty sure Voodoo Lady might be Red Hot Chili Peppers
"Old Queen Cole" reminds me of an early Beastie Boys" song.
Balance is for men
Youre right but isnt it too early for the breeders?
nah i see why you'd say that but it's way to caribbean sounding for it to be them
>Genre tourist who only listened to Ramleh liked a power electronics song from Ween
>Unironically thinks it's better than 90% of the genre without listening to even a 0.5% of it
Maybe, actually. Could be Throwing Muses or something? I could just be reading too much into it, that's a distinct possibility.
Cover it with gas is motley crue
Monique The Freak is also Prince
Absolutely john frusciante backmasked guitar solo and everything
If You Could Save Yourself is The Final Cut-era Pink Floyd
Buenos Tardes Amigo - Ennio Morricone's soundtracks
Take Me Away - latter day Elvis Presley
What deaner was talking about was the one i thought was the beatles send up
Alot of stuff on the mollusk is obviously bowish
what? you're just naming songs that are in a similar genre. Their pastiche's copy the vocal style, not just similar musical styles
Dead cross's set at riotfest consisted of mike patton pig squealing over dave lombardo blastbeats. was pretty fire though
I always thought the Stallion pt. 3 might have been Rush or Yes, but that's solely based on the vocals
"no"
I never cared about bungle, but more than half of GWS is just noise
hey that's a nice catchy song
but this is a fucking turboturd and you now it Sup Forums
not an actual song but the cover of The Pod is a pisstake of a Leonard Cohen compilation album cover
I'm pretty sure The Stallion Pt. 3 and Buckingham Green are both Genesis.
holy shit

>Buckingham Green
>Not capturing the virtuosity and composition of prog rock
non-musician detected. compare BG to something like "cinema show" by genesis or "close to the edge" by yes
It's a great song but it's very simple and only fits the description of prog rock in its sense of grandeur.
You're going to the limits of the genre to say it doesn't have compositional similarity to the genre on the whole. But it has some romantic/classical guitar flourish, several layers of guitar in general, and a hell of a crescendo. I don't think it sounds like Genesis (it sounds more like Camel or the hard rock type stuff King Crimson was doing shortly before they disbanded), but it has more than just the theatrics of the genre.
genesis and yes are hardly the limits of the genre
"Close to the Edge" is a 20-minute-long song in several different time signatures with drastically different sections. It can reasonably be thought of as the limits of the genre, at least when we're talking about '70s prog (which we were). You and I both know that Genesis and Yes wrote much shorter and much more conventional songs.
