Ween Discography Ranking. Author: bewarebodywash. My personal ranking of every Ween studio album. Ween Discography Ranking. Author: bewarebodywash. My personal ranking of every Ween studio album.

The album then moves onto the best known Ween song, and maybe the best song in their discography. The Freedom of ’76 is another fluffy pop song that received the bands only real radio play. Its easy listening at its best, and is a great way to round off the start of the album. Information on Ween. Complete discography, ratings, reviews and more.

Feel free to bow, cower, or even run. You can't hide from the Boognish.

Boognish is the demon-god, who has, it has been reported, thrice appeared to the prophets of The Cult of Boognish. Boognish, legend has it, originated from somewhere outside the orbital buffer. It sounds so technical, that it is almost certainly true. One of the prophets to whom he has appeared, Dean Ween, is the subject of this mighty tribute page.

Dean Ween, born with the no-less-mighty name Michael 'Mickey' Melchiondo, Jr., is the super-famous guitarist in the legendary band Ween. When he met the other soon-to-be prophet of The Cult of Boognish, Aaron Freeman a.k.a. Gene Ween, they formed and adopted the illustrious and never-before-seen surname 'Ween'.

Dean also shreds in another group, called 'The Moistboyz'. The name makes me uncomfortable just thinking about it, so I can only imagine its origins. I'll leave that discovery as an exercise for the reader.

Early Discography

Below is what will have to pass for Ween's early discography. These are the albums which turned up after a cursory search (thanks Wikipedia), and any new additions can be mailed in to someone else.

Mrs. Slack

This is the first listed release. I can't find any other information about it. Garageband 10.10.5.

The Crucial Squeegie Lip

One of the early cassette releases!

1987

Erica Peterson's Flaming Crib Death

This album had some new, as well as some old songs. Very little is known about it.

The Live Brain Wedgie/WAD

Split Live & Studio EP. Only 500 ever pressed, but digital copies are available online.

Prime 5

Early best-of album, comprising songs from their first 5 cassettes.

Experimental Rock

Synthetic Socks

Gene Ween's own release, with Dean on a few tracks.

Early 90's Low-Fi Madness

Ween signs with A&R, and the world gets its first taste of all that is Boognish.

GodWeenSatan: The Oneness

Originally released on Twin/Tone in 1990, this is the first album from Ween and a gloriously ramshackle exploration of basement-rock excess.

The Pod

The name of this second studio album comes from the nickname given to the band's apartment.

Pure Guava

Major label debut, baby! Also considered by some to be one of their best albums.

Chocolate and Cheese

There was a book written about this album, by Frank Shteamer. It also has one of the greatest album covers ever.

Moistboyz EP

First Moistboyz release. Mickey is known as Mickey Moist.

12 Golden Country Greats

Factoid: Most of the instruments played for this album were by established country and western artists.

Moistboyz II

Ween - Shinola, Vol. 1 (Full Album)

The first Moistboyz full-length, it was released with the previous EP on Grand Royal. They were later released together on Sanctuary, and again on Chocodog.

The Mollusk

God Ween Satan

Described by Aaron Freeman as 'their dark, acid rock album', and is Dean's favourite Ween album. They later discovered that the album was a great inspiration in the creation of SpongeBob SquarePants.

Craters of the Sac

Dean gave this album away online, as the band was considering different media paradigms.

Paintin' the Town Brown

Elektra released this live compilation of Ween's 1990-1998 material.

White Pepper

Despite the album's tight polish, it would be Ween's last on Elektra.

Chocodog!

Formed in 2001, Ween began releasing on their own label, Chocodog Records.

Live in Toronto

Denied the right to release Paintin' the Town Brown on Chocodog, this album became their label debut.

Moistboyz III

The first Moistboyz album to feature real drums, III was released on Ipecac Records.

Live at Stubb's

This 3 CD release was recorded during two dates at Stubb's, Austin Texas. The songs span all previous studio albums, and 3 previously unreleased tracks.

Sanctuary

Ween signs to Sanctuary Records in 2003.

Quebec

One of their darker albums, Quebec was the first studio album in 3 years.

All Request Live

This Chocodog release is the only place to hear all 5 parts of The Stallion, and its track-list was based on fan requests.

Live in Chicago

Ween's fifth live album included a DVD of the performance at The Vic Theatre in Chicago.

Shinola, Vol. 1

Deaner says that Shinola comes from songs that they regretted not putting on other albums.

The Friends EP

Recorded in 2006, The Friends EP would shortly precede the full length La Cucaracha.

La Cucaracha

Despite a few strong tracks, Gene is said to think that this album is a big piece of shit.

At the Cat's Cradle - 1992

This 2 CD Chocodog release contains a live performance from 1992, in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Post-Ween

Having spent a lot of time in Beach Haven NJ as a youth, Mickey set his sights to the sea, and became a fishing boat captain, producing a 12 episode web series called 'Brownie Troop Fishing Show'. He also gives tours, bookable through his website, http://www.mickeysfishing.com/

Then Deaner did something, and Gener got pissed. He released Ween stuff without consulting the band.

The Caesar Demos

These songs were recorded between 2001 and 2003, and contains material that made it on to Quebec, as well as some previously unreleased stuff. This release is the one that Gener was so mad about.
