[@infiniLor]

The memory of watching you react full body and soul when the solo hit in "I Don't Want It" ... will bring a joyful tear to my eye as I take my last breath, guy. 💕

[@refitdan]

I've listened to this album literally 100s of times, but watching this is the first time the meaning of that track properly hit me.

[@pazuzu1]

bro what happened in the second half of that comment are you okay

[@refoliation]

Loved when you said “hold on this song might be good” about people in the neighborhood

[@mawtymawty9010]

Love Ween, though I'd recommend Chocolate & Cheese for a first time listener. The Mollusk is also excellent, and it literally inspired SpongeBob

[@jsunsherman72]

I’m not sure that sponge bob connection flies

[@parsnipappendectomy]

@@jsunsherman72 it's been said by the creator himself

[@mawtymawty9010]

@@jsunsherman72 "Prior to creating SpongeBob, Hillenburg was a marine biologist and had been fascinated with the ocean since he was a child. Upon hearing Ween’s underwater concept album, he was galvanised. Shortly after The Mollusk was released, he contacted the band, and discussed the basic ideas for the show with them, as well as requesting a song to be made for the show. The song became ‘Loop de Loop’, an instruction on how to tie shoelaces that featured in the episode ‘Your Shoe’s Untied’." -Far Out Magazine

[@LucidDream]

This was my first Ween album personally and it's still my favorite.

[@mawtymawty9010]

@@LucidDream no arguments from me, only reasons I have those opinions are because I think Chocolate & Cheese is everything that makes Ween sound like Ween in one album, and The Mollusk because of its popularity/the SpongeBob factor

[@j.prt.979]

I love how much you liked Captain and I Don’t Want It! They’re very underrated tracks. My favorite part about Ween is just how much they don’t care lol. They just make whatever kind of stupid track they want followed by an atmospheric masterpiece. Definitely try The Mollusk from Ween as well!

[@triton199]

IMO I dont want it is slept on so hard, its such a powerfully emotive song and one of my favorite examples to bring up when i encounter someone being dismissive of ween and the insane talent the whole band has. deaners guitar skills, geners wild vocal range and incredible songwriting, Claude's a fuckin machine on the drums and glen and dave are great too lol.

[@OwenSammons-os2cu]

This album was written during one half of the duo's divorce. It's quite personal, The Mollusk is my personal favorite Ween album, but it's not too serious. Ween can get really weird and experimental sometimes, The Pod is absolutely crazy.

[@rozbot86]

An ex-girlfriend introduced me to Ween. She gave me every single album. I had heard a few tracks like Push the Little Daisies and Voodoo Lady, but the first album that I put in my car and listened to the entire album was The Pod. It was a great place to start because it set my expectations low for the rest of my experience with the band. However, I absolutely love that album to this day and it is one of my favorites.

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

​@@rozbot86wow the pod would have scared most people off. Congratulations, you are not most people. The pod might be my favorite album. But probably not the first album I would show someone if I was trying to evangelicize ween. But some people must get it right away

[@Kodeb8]

@@michaelcorcoran8768 The Pod was the second Ween album I listened to and it somehow didn't scare me away from the rest of their discography, lol. I guess I have a fairly high tolerance for weirdness.

[@domenicgalata1470]

“I don’t know what this genre is..” Yup. Ween. Yes. You are opening a door you will gladly jump right into. Starting at the back end of their catalog gives a great showing of their awesome trajectory as a one of a kind band, and one of the better bands touring at the moment ( flying out to see their shows in Minneapolis and Chicago this weekend from Toronto) and if you get a chance go watch them live and you’ll see why they are beloved by their fans.

[@BigSteph63]

I usually tell someone about Ween by saying every album is an homage and also a piss-take, and by gawd i've loved them long time!

[@alemmingsdeath]

"Captain" has always been the embodiment of the realization that the acid is turning on you.

[@ajv1437]

this is straight up one of your best reviews of all time, seeing you experience so many emotions at once was so relatable to my 1st time listening. You should definitely check out more of their records like Chocolate and Cheese, White Pepper, and finally The Mollusk in that order. Legit Ween is one of the greatest bands of all time. Once you go Ween, no corny shit, you never go back.

[@ChowderPope]

Your take on Tried and True, although brief, is one that I never considered before. That's what I really love about this band, their tender heart. A lot of people just consider them to be a novelty group, but if you look you can see a tenderness underlying the music. That's what I really appreciate.

[@delilah-ul5rz]

YES weens my favorite band, asked for this on a separate account literally last night. Very excited for this. Quebec is my FAVORITE by them, but I'd recommend the Mollusk or even chocolate & Cheese just slightly more for a first timer. I hope you dive into more of their stuff ^^

[@danebono7667]

Gener's divorce album; turning pain into brilliant art. My favorite from their catalogue. One of their albums that probably won't get mentioned much: Shinola Vol 1. A number of outtakes and orphans, equally as a mazing as everything else they've put out.

[@jaaqob2]

i love this album and your reaction was great as always if you want more ween try the mollusk

[@j0hnbr0ck]

I saw Ween live for the first time in September as was blown away! A 3 hour set. I legitimately started crying during Transdermal Celebration. Best band in the world, no contest. Perfect review of The Fucked Jam, btw

[@triton199]

saw them in chicago halloween 2018 and they played almost 30 songs, probably still the best concert i've ever been to. dying to see them again

[@moraine_view]

@@triton199 saw them earlier in october that year in florida, also the best concert ive been to!

[@danieldelabre3270]

Your reaction to “I don’t want it” is so amazing. Makes me cry every time man…

[@fuckskyler]

I didn’t listen to Ween for the longest time for whatever reason, but a year or so ago I listened to their entire discography from start to finish and oh my god. They’re one of my favorite bands of all time now. I love this reaction lol definitely listen to more!

[@mezykin]

Quebec is Ween's magnum opus and a great way to start with the band

[@kyleyerbury5043]

no the pod is way better

[@okluminous566]

@@kyleyerbury5043he’s not ready for the pod

[@kaysienothin]

This is definitely a good place to start with Ween, its much more accessible in comparison. But at the same time they make such sporadic random music that one album doesn't remotely give u the full picture of their sound. A super unique act forsure lol.

[@ajv1437]

white pepper is bit more accessible but this album is jus better lol

[@cubanmissilefish6322]

Another awesome reaction man, and as a lot of the comments seem to be echoing I also highly reccomend The Mollusk by Ween. I love Ween but the Mollusk is on another level for me. Also yeah Spongebob definitely took influences from the Mollusk and had a couple references to the album in some early episodes I believe. Also if you remember the song about Spongebob learning to tie his shoes, thats written and performed by Ween.

[@stratford1]

Honestly, I feel like the theme of this album is about mental illness and what it actually means to be happy/sad. In a world where no one wants to be genuine about their emotions, we seek happiness through drugs, shallow romance, and doing all we can to ignore the impending anxiety we feel. This album pokes fun at the absurdity of that through the wacky instrumentation. Meanwhile, it speaks about the harsh reality of the situation through the lyrics, from the perspective of many different characters, which represent different parts of our mind. I could be wrong, but that's how I've always interpreted it.

[@ajv1437]

such an amazing way to put it

[@timothyburns815]

I think you nailed it.

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

Yeah Gene Ween was was going through a divorce and struggling with substance abuse disorder. Long time ween fans had been through it with him because he's written about his love life so much with baby b**** and birthday boy.

[@lmaonow2489]

The "What the fuck" at 9:42 just made me stomach laugh for a hot minute

[@witchduck2230]

absolutely do the mollusk next, quebec is my favorite but the mollusk is their most consistently good album

[@Therap1ssed]

Every one of their songs played live is twice as long because Dean Ween goes on a crazy guitar solo. Check out their Live in Chicago DVD, it's posted on youtube.

[@Swaebeats616]

Tired and True is not a song about love, it’s more so about self-exploration, growth and resilience.

[@bsblh4248]

Should definitely listen to The Mollusk by ween. In my opinion, it's their best and inspired the creation of spongebob I'm pretty sure

[@timhaines2894]

It was. That’s why their song ocean man was in the movie. I’d, however, legit put the mollusk, up there with the top 5-7 best albums of all time. Just my opinion though.

[@Qwertyuiopaz]

I know you are probably overwhelmed with recommendations, but you should listen to California by mr bungle whenever you get around to it.

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

Yep absolutely cosign. That is an absolute amazing record and relatively approachable for newcomers.

[@nostalgia_clinic]

Ween…dope!! Some other albums for your consideration: Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam Animal Collective - Centipede Hz. Animal Collective - Time Skiffs 🍻

[@PeaceViberations]

we need more anco for sure!

[@nostalgia_clinic]

Right! It’s been a minute since the MPP reaction and they have so much more to offer in their discography.

[@grandamadain]

more and more people should react to ween. weird, serious, funny. it was very hypnotizing when i first discovered them.

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

They are built for reactions because people genuinely don't know what to expect -- song to song or album to album. Mr bungle and some other genre bending bands are good as well but those are a little intense for most people.

[@nintenbyuwu]

This is fun to watch because I don't have enough people in my life who are open minded enough to let me bump Ween; watching ur videos makes me feel like I'm showing a friend the music I like x) Thanks for scratching the music snob itch in me xD

[@ajv1437]

crazy how this is number one after all these 40, we made it yall 🙏🤧

[@alemmingsdeath]

OH! One of my all-time faves and an underrated modern psychedelia highpoint.

[@eser8167]

I had the same otherwordly reaction to I Don't Want It as you did. It was before I even got into my first serious relationship, but I listened to it for the first time alone in a dark room looking out my window after making some pretty major changes in my life and I was moved in a way that only 2 or 3 songs ever did in my life. It's a masterpiece of a track.

[@idot3331]

Looking forward to seeing you listen to more of their albums. The Mollusk is my favourite, Chocolate & Cheese is probably on par, and White Pepper is definitely worth a listen - it's probably their most "conventional" album though.

[@newjescity]

i like you man you are so chill. new comfort channel

[@joshuazardin9822]

Absolutely my favorite album by them, chocolate town is a great song about getting clean, written about a band member going to Hershey PA for a rehab stint.

[@AllstarPlayz]

Absolutely adore this album, really cool to see someone else's thoughts on it while listening to it for the first time. Keep it up man

[@MALNEEZY]

You gotta do The Mollusk next! That album has made me a Ween fan from the first listen!

[@hanyan2012]

You were so real for your reaction to I Don’t Want It I’ve cried listening to that solo

[@dj_matty]

Let’s goooooooo ween is so awesome I love how they have talent in almost every lane of music. I’ll back up everyone else saying The Mollusk and Chocolate and Cheese, essential for people getting introduced to them. Also I’d recommend LCD Soundsystem’s Sound of Silver or This Is Happening at some point, both fantastic.

[@Snappyseth]

Ween is my favorite band by far. They never stop being this good. Glad you liked it

[@DeterPinklage]

Great stuff. Dive all the way into ween. They're so incredible and their "brown' or weird tracks/albums are on purpose because they think its funny. They're truly the best

[@mdog86]

Your first reaction to So Many People is pretty similar to mine lol, and trust me you'll be back to it and start really liking it haha. At least that was the case with me, Ween is super fucking weird but genius at the same time. And once they grab you, you'll feel yourself drawn back to them. They're also on their 40th anniversary tour this year, and absolutely a must see in person. You should definitely go to a show and see them perform live! And for Captain, replace the zoloft with some mdma and you got it right lmao.

[@KarK1ttyy]

the most peak album and peak person ever

[@KarK1ttyy]

also seeing peoples reactions to the fucked jam is like so great

[@harrydfb83]

Another great video. Would definitely recommend LCD Soundsystem. Either their album Sound of Silver or This is Happening

[@aaronblanchette1922]

This is great in so many ways. First, I have to say, I'm glad that you get it. When I try to express my love of ween to people, They're trying to hear the music, but ween is art! In-between music and theater in my opinion. I love watching ween reaction videos. People get caught way off guard. And you had the most pure reaction I've seen yet. I personally feel like "the fucked jam" was the original Rick roll song. A near perfect album, and these guys threw that in to fuck with the fans. Hilarious! Ween has said that not all of there songs mean anything. You make what you make of it as a listener. To be fair, lots of their nonsense songs were written under the influence of x,y, or z. I loved hearing your take on these songs. These 2 dopes literally saved my life over some hard times. My recommendation is for the live in Chicago DVD. Hear me out. I know you only have done audio, but watch this infamous DVD while reacting. Would love to see that. But there is an album from that show aswell. I've liked and subscribed. I watched some of your other reviews and genuinely enjoy them. Keep up the great content. Live ween is sex/god/bliss. I'll be seeing them 3 times this week in NY, RI, NH. Can't wait! Ps, I'm drunk with nothing better to do 😊

[@brandonthesteele]

Doubled over laughing at your reaction to the "I Don't Want It" guitar solo, I totally understood you there. Ween's got it dialed in at all times, and when they want to rip your heart out, they just go ahead and do it.

[@jacobneylon647]

Fuck yeah! Captain is awesome, so glad you loved it. Such an underrated track. Edit: Also I Don’t Want It…fuck man…one of the best guitar solos ever put to tape.

[@leeadickes7235]

Ween puts on the best live shows. They play for 2.5 hours with no breaks. Usually about 35 songs.

[@marcsullivan7987]

And will play three nights and not repeat a song

[@Xxbte96xX]

This album is so, sooooo fucking good man. I just listened to it a few days ago and I can't get over it. My friend kept begging me to listen to them, and I did a few albums. I wasn't too into them, but this one really got me hooked.

Always great to see someone discover Ween. My favorite band of course. Your reaction is hands down my favorite so far and I've watched MANY lol.

Great video man and you gained a new subscriber!
