From the sublime to the sublimely ridiculous. This is the greatest band on God's green Earth. But seriously, Ween has had an invaluable impact on my life and I think if you haven't listened to them, you are deprived of one the greatest things to ever happen to music since the cavemen started pounding their heads on the rocks. You may find them strange and bizarre, but the fact of the matter is, their music is the pinnacle of absurdist pop. No genre of pop music is safe from Ween's omnipresent musicality. Ween is straight up genius. Every song is a gem, every song is completely hysterical, and every song is so excellently constructed and well put together. What it comes down to for me is that Ween just makes you feel good. They make music that you love, by making fun and essentially reinventing the music you love. They'll make you laugh, and they'll make you cry, and they'll try your patience, but every second spent with Ween is a second well spent. Even though every album of theirs is different and unique, Chocolate and Cheese is definitely the most focused and is the perfect dive-in point for anyone new to their music. The joy is infectious. Let their ecstatically twisted music into your life and I promise you will start to feel the results. Long Live Boognish.
