Ween Albums Ranked From Worst to Best
Today we're ranking the 9 studio albums of fellow Pennsylvanians, Ween.
****
Ween is an American rock band from New Hope, Pennsylvania, formed in 1984 by Aaron Freeman and Mickey Melchiondo, better known by their respective stage names, Gene and Dean Ween. Generally categorized as an alternative rock band, the band are known for their irreverent, highly eclectic catalog of songs inspired by funk, soul, country, gospel, prog, psychedelia, R&B, heavy metal, and punk rock.
Ween self-released several cassette albums from their formation until 1989. Afterward, they put out three officially-released lo-fi albums: GodWeenSatan: The Oneness (1990); The Pod (1991); and Pure Guava (1992). For Pure Guava, the band signed with major label Elektra Records. The album spawned the single "Push th' Little Daisies", which was a chart hit in Australia and the United States. Under Elektra, the band released four professionally-recorded albums: Chocolate and Cheese (1994); 12 Golden Country Greats (1996); The Mollusk (1997); and White Pepper (2000). They later returned to independent labels for their albums Quebec (2003) and La Cucaracha (2007). After a 28-year run, Freeman quit the band in 2012, citing the need to focus on his alcohol and drug addiction issues. Ween reformed in late 2015 and toured extensively with no stated plans to release new recorded material.
For their first ten years of existence, Ween performed live as a duo backed by a Digital Audio Tape. With the release of Chocolate and Cheese, they expanded to a four-piece act, later adding a fifth member as well. Their live members include Claude Coleman Jr., Dave Dreiwitz, and Glenn McClelland. Ween also collaborated extensively with Andrew Weiss, who joined the band as a bassist in 1989 and also produced five of their nine studio albums. Despite never receiving much mainstream recognition, Ween developed a large, devoted cult following and garnered critical acclaim.

5 Stars- Every Album.
The Pod and Pure Guava are PERFECT!!! So brown🤎Where are all the true Ween fans in the comments?!
Z-Rock Hawaii is top 5
Ween - my favorite band. I knew the first three albums would be a disaster for y'all. That's as far as I've gotten. I love you guys. I've looked forward to this day for a long time. So far the video is exactly as I suspected. Lol I'm the biggest fan in the world and I had a tough time with the early records AT FIRST. I love the hell out of them now, but it took me some time to get there. I'm sure I'll make another comment after I finish the video. When I first saw you were doing Ween the first word that came to me was DUCK!!!!
Dude I couldn't disagree more with your take on The Blarney Stone. Its such a great sing along and fun song, I think you guys don't really get Ween so much. And that's fine.
RIP David Sanborn... We had the best time at Your Party.
Love everything except for La Cucaracha. My top three would probably be Quebec, Pure Guava and White Pepper.
Tender situation is genius
these dudes are off their rockers
Love Ween. The mollusk is such a unique and fun record and the rest is zappaesque. Just enjoy the hell out of them even when they are purposely annoying me
I’ve been looking forward to yall ranking Ween for forever! this was a fun watch
One of my 20 favorite bands of the 1990s. During their prime, they could take on practically any genre, make it sound effortlessly catchy, yet still retain their unique essence as a band.
Thanks for doing this band you guys!!!!
Once again... Huge Ween fan, favorite band ever... Long time TLM/Listography Patron/Watcher
Enjoyed the rankings! I heard Quebec in a CD exchange and loved it, and bought the album right away. I then bought "The Pod", which sucks... although I've only played it once. I guess next for me will be White Pepper. Looking forward to your top 10 songs.
Yes! The Man of the People comes through once again!! White Pepper is also my favorite Ween album as well. If memory serves, it was my number one record for the year 2000, when we posted that kind of stuff at my old record store job. I even wrote a review of the CD for a local Long Island newspaper at the time. Ahh, the halcyon days of yore…
1. The Mollusk 10/10
09) Pure Guava (1992) 1.5/5
