The Mollusk should be on everyone's top ten album lists of all time.

[@bradley6348]

Don't know about everyone, but If you're into psychedelic, definitely.

[@johnrocker2004]

It's on mine for sure

[@mattvarvorski]

No bullshit I introduced my good friend Clayton to ween when I was 16 and I’ve been a drummer for 13 years (I’m 24 now) and he used to play all of deeners songs on guitar and I’d play the drums. Long story short he got them tattooed on his thigh 3 months after I introduced him to them, this album specifically. My dad has the directors cut on DVD, greatest unknown band of all time

[@jonnyfox803]

Addicting...and the thing Gener does with his eyes makes the song all the more amazing.

[@ITSOFFICIALYOUSUUCK]

I agree!

[@jonnyfox803]

The earth realm will never be yours.

[@jtmma1]

Ya I noticed that too! 😂 He's a very animated singer kinda like les Claypool or an even better example would be Eddie Vetter from Pearl Jam

[@grome825]

I was just thinking how much I love geners live in Chicago crazy eyes

[@kwiin2022]

sorry to break it to you but that's just because he's tripping absolute balls.

[@johnsimpson3036]

This song is like a psylocobin experience translated into music that you can taste a long time ago. The whole mollusk album is awesome.

[@liamg337]

Yes it is

[@ogs1mpson609]

The mollusk was so awesome that it inspired the TV series Spongebob Squarepants.

[@ryantallman3556]

My favorite song to peak too.

[@JohnGaltShadow]

Why not?

[@eggrolldog]

This whole band is incredible. Claude is one of the greatest drummers in the world. Met him once and he was a great guy. His band Amandla was playing at the local club in my small town. He can also sing his ass off and tear up a guitar too!

[@IgnatiusChinaski]

jehadsound Claude’s drumming is what made me realize I need to listen to everything from these guys. Nice to hear that he’s cool!

ween drummer is one of my favorites. I was about to write that and saw this at the top.

[@Crazyfeline]

You shoulda seen old Jimmy Wilson dance

[@underalbert]

One of the absolute best written songs I've ever heard! Chords, melody, the lyrics...not to mention that sweet ass synth. Pure bliss!

[@tanveerhasan2382]

I concur

[@mcqueen0195]

I can listen to this whole album start to finish…. But can never make it all the way thru without repeating this one at least one or five times. Haunting… beautiful.

[@chrismagsmags]

""If you want an indicator of just how much The Mollusk influenced SpongeBob, you need to listen to the album’s standout track ‘Mutilated Lips’. The modulated voice that sings the chorus of, “Mutilated lips give a kiss on the wrist / Of the worm-like tips of tentacles expanding”, is so close to being SpongeBob’s that the first time you hear it, you’re shocked thinking that Ween had copied SpongeBob. However, it was the other way round. SpongeBob didn’t air until 1999."

[@dlbrody1969]

The Bass line to this song is really cool

They are playing some dates this summer. The force of Ween will return.

[@philocleandes9302]

Where did you see them? I first saw them at the 930 club in DC some 20 years ago...

BEST WEEN SONG EVER!

There's something almost sacred about this song. one of my favorites, despite the fact that i've heard it 10 trillion times.

It’s so chill, almost too chill

[@mcqueen0195]

Same. Fucking same.

[@underalbert]

And I haven't even mentioned that perfect guitar solo...rock on Deaner!

[@mcqueen0195]

Top 10 guitarist ever. Not flashy when he plays… but technically??? Off the charts.

I didn't think I could love this band any more than I already do, and then I saw this video.

I hope you’re well:)

[@fourscoreand9884]

Phenomenal. Much better than I expected. Was not sure how you could recapture the studio brilliance... but, they did.

[@mcqueen0195]

Speaks to their level of talent.

[@broken2k9]

I’ve noticed Ween is multiple things, mainly great, but their live performances are a chef kiss to music!

[@origionalist]

They perform thai EXACTLY like I thought they would. Bug eyed heavy breathing completely out of it lmao

[@cactaceous]

Incredible, now looking back at this how hardcore Aaron's trip was before he got help cause he aged so much in only 15 years. It's like he aged twice as much.

[@shillian4770]

yea the dude had white hair in his 40's they definitely had a lot of fun back in the day.

[@cactaceous]

@@shillian4770 I saw Mickey in a recent video and he is not doing too good himself it seems. He was really bloated and had gained a lot of weight. He looks very unhealthy. Hope he gets it together cause as soon as this pandemic shit ends we need another dance with the boognish!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a whole set as amazing as this show was. Absolute perfection. They ended with Blarneystone correct? When everyone is waving back and forth in proper sea shanty fashion… gets me in a good place.
