Ween Artist Snapshot:

In the mid-1980s, Pennsylvania natives and childhood friends Aaron Freeman and Mickey Melchiondo began recording goofy, genre-hopping songs under the aliases of Gene Ween and Dean Ween respectively. Extolling the virtues of illegal substances and the Boognish, a deity of their own creation, Ween proceeded to accumulate a large following and, surprisingly, transform into a couple of rather remarkable musicians. A major-label deal in the early 1990s led to a bigger audience for Ween, with the duo eventually employing a full backing band and (for their album 12 GOLDEN COUNTRY GREATS) even veteran Nashville session players. By the late '90s, although still perceived as a novelty act by some, Ween had revealed itself as a formidable and dynamic rock band, with or without the jokes.

Review

Rolling Stone (7/10-24/97, pp.118-120) - 4.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...Stuffed with an inventive assemblage of analog keyboards, found sounds and brogue-encrusted folk songs, THE MOLLUSK is a satirical (and curiously subtle) pastiche of the current musical landscape..."

Ween can be as slimy as a giant squid or as hard to crack as a clam, but the mollusk that Ween most resembles is an octopus--with a tentacle in every genre and an obfuscating cloud of black ink thrown in for good measure, once they grab a hold of you with their suckers, they don't let go. Ween's sixth album, THE MOLLUSK not only ensnares you with its sinewy melodies, it gobbles you whole.

Ween have followed the country madness of 12 GOLDEN COUNTRY GREATS with a true return to form. The eclectic, genre-hopping style of PURE GUAVA and GOD WEEN SATAN blossoms again, and songs like "Buckingham Green" and "The Blarney Stone" find Ween straddling the line between '70s arena-rock heavy metal ballads and bawdy 19th century Irish drinking songs. While not as overtly puerile or as heavy as some of their earlier material, THE MOLLUSK has its share of memorable moments and is destined to become a true Ween classic.
