"Ween is a rock group formed in 1984 in New Hope, Pennsylvania, United States when Aaron Freeman andMickey Melchiondo Jr. met in a junior high school typing class. The pair became known as Gene and Dean Ween. Thousands of home recordings later, Ween collected a large underground fanbase despite being generally unknown in mainstream music circles aside from 1992 fluke hit “Push Th’ Little Daisies”.
Their earliest home recordings were anarchic and free-spirited, drawing on influences as far-reaching as Beatles, Queen, Prince, Butthole Surfers, The Residents and the lo-fi punk movement. Ween was often compared in their early years to other offbeat artists such as Frank Zappa and would always eschew such comparisons."

My Rating For Both Albums: ★ ★ ★ ★
Quite a strange band. My old guitar teacher showed me these guys like two years ago during a lesson and I liked them.
Some of their songs are a little too "out there" for me, but some songs are amazing.
Favorite Track From "Chocolate And Cheese."
Favorite Track From "The Mollusk."
