An immature college album if there ever was one. Ween are a special duo. Pop geniuses.
Godweensatan was their first release, back when they were just teens, and it shows. If you were going into this album not knowing anything from Ween, and played the first tracks You Fucked Up and Tick, you'd think it was some hardcore band. When you get a little further into the album, things start loosing it's boarders, and things sound looney, almost Primas looney. But Dean and Gene Ween are just the kings at creating thoughtfully vulgar and humorous "pop" tracks.
And best of all they are so talented in music in general that they are able to play any genre of music and create a pretty decent song that does the genre justice. Nicole is a 9 minute stoned reggae dub track, Nan is a psyched out folk track and Birthday Boy is the lo-fi-est sounding treble drenched song you'll ever hear, almost to the point where its annoying, except the song it's self is sooooooo good that you'll literally keep coming back to it.
Forget animal collective, if' you need a new album to trip hard to, this would be it.
((see how many pop music references you can spot, like the single piano key strike at the beginning of Pink Floyd's Echos in Birthday Boy))
Sounds Like
A good multi genre pop mind fuck
