The Pod

I just rediscovered this album after about ten years. I used to listen to this CD almost non-stop my freshman year of high school. It's the only Ween album I've had but I love it. What other Ween albums live up to the Pod? I love that song Buenos Tardes Amigo as well.

    Answer: none.

    Many may be a close second, but the The Pod is the muthafuckin master album.

    I remember being totally baked off my ass and my buddy whipped it out (THE ALBUM) on vinyl. I sat there watching the spinning figure on the turntable trying to guess what the correct speed was 33.3 or 45. Laughted my ASS off.

    It's weird, thinking back...I don't even know how I ended up buying The Pod as opposed to the other albums. I think someone lent it to me and then I bought it.

      i think most long time fans of ween think that nothing has ever beat the pod.

      i think god ween satan is comparable. but i dig each ween album for its own special reasons. i love the silliness of god ween satan.

    the Pod is up there. I'd give the Mollusk a slight edge though. The Mollusk isn't as experimental and fun as the others, but I think it's what validates Ween as real musicians. Also Gene's voice in Buckingham Green is classic.

      agreed with last post...the mollusk is unreal...flows like a storybook. I love the Pod, at time there are songs I just can't listen to.

      there isn't one ween album that is even close to "bad"

        pretty impressive stuff for a couple kids huffing scotchguard and fuckin around w/ a 4 track. I know its a later album but I dig White Pepper so much.
        2 weeks til Ween destroys Boulder!!!

        The Mollusk was my first Weed record. A friend made me a mix tape as a gift (remember those?!) and it has most of the Mollusk on it. I listened to that tape every day in my car, then bought the record, along with every other Ween record.

        Yay favorite band!

          The Pod is so classic that I hated it the first time I heard it and then my friends played it over and over until it became an inseparable part of my psyche and I had to go out and buy it. Thematically and conceptually and experimentally it is an incredible piece of work. However I think musically I'd have to say that these days I'm a lot more likely to throw in a CD of the Mollusk or Quebec (or the live show at a bar in june of 2001 as the Jimmy Wilson Band where they play "Bag of Weed" for like 20 minutes...)
