Product Description

Product Description

Kings of home recording, the two masterminds of Ween (grade school friends and twin brothers Gene and Dean) have taken the four-track portastudio to the very limits of its potential on this compilation of the throwaways from the sessions for their Elektra debut Pure Guava . Recorded in an apartment above a barn in their home town of New Hope, Pennsylvania, their studio, affectionately named The Pod , featured the aforementioned recording device, a few crappy 80's effect boards, various drum machines, keyboards, guitars, and copious quantities of inhalants. The cover art even features a mangling of the cover of The songs of Leonard Cohen with a gas mask equipped to aid the inhalation of Scotch Guard spray starch covering Leonard's face. What is contained within is one of the most eclectic, original, and truly warped collection of songs . . . ever.

4.0 out of 5 stars Only for the brown of heart Jun 11 2004
By Aiptasia
Format:Audio CD
This ween album is right up there with "God, Ween, Satan." If you don't like ween, it's an acquired taste, and you should stick to White Pepper, Chocolate & Cheese or The Mollusk. Musically, The Pod sounds like re-masters of their four track demos, but there's diamonds in the turds, such as: Dr. Rock, Sketches of Winkle, Awesome Sound.. etc. Ween plays so many songs from The Pod in their live gigs that they sound much better in a live venue.

5.0 out of 5 stars You're f***in' with the stallion, mang Jun 9 2004
By "thenintengenius"
Format:Audio CD
To get it out of the way, right away, if you're not already a fan of Ween's music, for god's sake, don't get this album. You're probably going to absolutely hate it, and should start out with some of their easier-to-get into fare such as Chocolate and Cheese.

That said, those who already know what Ween is all about are in for a real doozy with this one. Recorded on an old four-track recorder in their apartment (nicknamed The Pod by them), The Pod is probably Ween's most challenging work to date. Nothing comes even close to this album's pure, spaced-out weirdness except maybe their debut GodWeenSatan.

Even with that album as a frame of reference, GodWeenSatan never got as weird as this. The Pod is pure, stoned-out, fuzzy, lo-fi genius, as track after track yield exceptional results. There's the faux-blues of "Strap on That Jammypac," the hardcore metal sludge of "The Stallion pt. 1" (quoted in this review's title), the Led Zeppelin parody "Right to the Ways and the Rules of the World," the 60s brit-pop of "Pork Roll Egg and Cheese," the stoned-out skit "Pollo Asado," and so on and so forth. There's way too many moments of brilliance to list here.

Yes, the album is hard to listen to, and is peppered with absolutely bizarre sonic experiments such as the uncategorizable "Molly" that tend to knock you for a loop. However, if you give it some time and effort, The Pod is perhaps one of Ween's most rewarding albums, and is perhaps my favorite next to their equally brilliant debut.

I've read these positive reviews and I can see merit in most of them, but I will say that this is by far the worst Ween album ever. Read more

Not for everyone,
