I find it to be chock full of well-written so...yes! I find it to be chock full of well-written songs that I like a lot. It might be lacking in "weenness", but it's still a nice way to prove their skills.<br />I DO remember when it came out and that there was some backlash against the band. I think they anticipated it and were pleased that the douche bags weren't into it (Adelle the Great is right).<br />Is it me, or does it seem like Ween puts out a weird album every now and then specifically to cleanse the douche bags out? They did that one album that sounded a lot like XTC (I forget the name now, was it Pepper?). I liked the album, but some of my friends thought it was too new wavy or something.

They basically said that the crowds at their shows were getting to be comprised of too many douche bags, and they thought doing a country album would thin the heard & leave only their "true fans". Of course, it's hard to know whether or not they were joking when they said that... but it seems a pretty reasonable (and Ween like) explanation.Adelle the Greathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16192304563507848140noreply@blogger.com
