Ween Lyrics
Got aesthetic universal saturation in the grip of the morning sun.
The creosote that erodes all the odors that lie dormant when the day is done.
Hop the dingle on the ferry takes you back to the dimension that's just begun.
Riding the crest of the communion to a union, Harry Truman is the holy son.
And he says...

Ween self-released several cassette albums from their formation until 1989. Afterward, they put out three officially-released lo-fi albums: GodWeenSatan: The Oneness (1990); The Pod (1991); and Pure Guava (1992). For Pure Guava, the band signed with major label Elektra Records. The album spawned the single "Push th' Little Daisies", which was a chart hit in Australia and the United States. Under Elektra, the band released four professionally-recorded albums: Chocolate and Cheese (1994); 12 Golden Country Greats (1996); The Mollusk (1997); and White Pepper (2000). They later returned to independent labels for their albums Quebec (2003) and La Cucaracha (2007). After a 28-year run, Freeman quit the band in 2012, citing the need to focus on his alcohol and drug addiction issues. Ween reformed in late 2015 and toured extensively with no stated plans to release new recorded material.
For their first ten years of existence, Ween performed live as a duo backed by a Digital Audio Tape. With the release of Chocolate and Cheese, they expanded to a four-piece act, later adding a fifth member as well. Their live members include Claude Coleman Jr., Dave Dreiwitz, and Glenn McClelland. Ween also collaborated extensively with Andrew Weiss, who joined the band as a bassist in 1989 and also produced five of their nine studio albums. Despite never receiving much mainstream recognition, Ween developed a large, devoted cult following and garnered critical acclaim.

@pinsboy "Got aesthetic universal saturation in the grip of the morning sun" -might be talking about flash from the nuclear blast, and the bomb was dropped early in the morning
"creosote that erodes all the odors that lie dormant when the day is done" - ash and soot everywhere, 80,000 dead people is going to smell pretty bad
"hop the dingle on a ferry takes you back to a dimension that's just begun" - ferry on the Styx that takes the dead to the afterlife? New dimension is the newly nuclear capable world? I dunno
"riding the crest of a communion to a union Harry Truman is the holy son" - I don't know about the communion thing but Harry Truman was the president that ordered the bomb dropped. The holy son thing might refer to the fact that if someone can wave their hand and wipe out a city, they are not far off from being a God.
I don't actually know what I'm talking about. Probably over analyzing.

Ween throws away better stuff than you'll ever create in the first place.

Strong agree

Last I heard they'd do 30+ songs a writing session and bust out the ones in the trash because they didn't fit in the final mix of that record.
Agghh
Ween are so creative. There is never a time that I don't want to listen to them. They span so many genres; they're in tune with music. If I want to be goofy, there's a song for it. If I want to be serious; there's a song. If I want to relax; there's a song. I often wish I knew them, in real life. That would be a good time.

this is a beautiful statement

Right on, amigo...right on :)

They're pretty much the Beatles on steroids. And a few other drugs as well.
John Saling
I agree with every word. Emphasis doesn't do my love for them justice
Dallas Landriault
They have a huge library. Remind me of The Dead in so many ways.

Shinola is a pretty damn impressive compilation/rarities collection. I've certainly been impressed by it's scope....all killer, no filler.
