Ween - La Cucaracha

La Cucaracha is the brown-sounding album that Deaner promised quebec would be all those years ago. It's hard to tell whether Ween are sounding more manic than usual (or at least since Chocolate and Cheese) or whether it just seems like that because La Cucaracha, in terms of production, lacks the sheen of their previous few records.

Whichever way and for whatever reason, La Cucaracha is a diverse record, and one in which Ween hops between genres with their usual astounding ease. The woozy reggae of "The Fruit Man" comes instantly to mind, as does the weird bluegrass-ish "Learnin' to Love." The former, though perhaps this is a contentious statement, is the best song on the album.

The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin

The cover of Ween's White Pepper is predominately white, which, for the longest time, gave me the unshakable feeling that the songs contained therein where themselves predominately white.

For the longest time, that album sounded bland, and it wasn't until, after a few weeks of listening, I was able to discard those misconceptions and allow the nuances in the songs to paint their own palette and speak for themselves. I mention this only because the cover art of The Soft Bulletin is predominately blue and yellow and I can't shake the feeling that the music has only those two dimensions.

As such this review is a few weeks too early.

quebec by Ween

I’ve been craving this album as badly as what a junkie craves his first hit of grade-A skag in the morning; it being the first new studio album since 2000’s White Pepper.

Ween albums are hard to listen to, not only because of the genres they traverse and their often jarring nature but also because each album makes you redefine exactly what you think Ween are doing. Is it some sort of surreal satire? Are they genuine? ETC? ETC.
