5.0 out of 5 stars
A mind-expanding, classic album., October 11, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: God Ween Satan Oneness (Audio CD)
This was the 2nd Ween album I got (the 1st was chocolate and cheese). For all of C&C's schizophrenia, it is a very polished studio production. God Ween Satan isn't. After a single listen, I was disappointed that there weren't gorgeous pop gems like Freedom of '76 or Joppa Road. I hadn't anticipated on buying a punk record, and that's what most of the noise on GWS sounded like at first. Alas, I put the disc in my car and let it soak in over countless traffic jams. Quickly this album went from sounding like "on the fringe" garage band demos to nothing short of a classic rock and roll album. This record has reshaped my tolerance for a wide variety of musical genres. These guys are not for everyone, but if you find yourself attracted to any single ween tune, than you really need to uncover the whole picture. Get every album, starting with this one!!!!!!!

How could you beat this album?, November 2, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: God Ween Satan Oneness (Audio CD)
Nobody can appreciate this on a first listen. Well, maybe two die-hard Ween fans, but that's about it. Most people feel that all artists are obliged to put the very best versions of their songs onto their studio albums. They feel that everything should sound perfect: no cracking of voices, no out-of-tune instruments, none of the things you might expect out of a live performance... essentially, people want music that is drained of life, drained of spirit, totally artificial and mechanical. Ween smashes the majority to pieces beginning with this album (I say this because this was their first "major" release) and continues through the Pod, climaxing at Pure Guava, the most beautiful piece of art ever crafted. Remember one thing, though... CHAINSAW SOLO!

Burn all your CD's then start your collection over with this, July 19, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: God Ween Satan Oneness (Audio CD)
"God/Ween/Satan, The Oneness" is the quintessential Ween album. Moreso than the fabulouso "The Pod", "The Oneness" is a culmination of what Ween means to wasted couch potatoes the world over. They cover a wide range of musical styles and stylees, kicking your teeth in right off with "You fucked up" and slowly gyrating through tender love ballads into hazy rock and roll numbers peppered with the hellish nightmare lullabyes Ween is so fantastic at constructing. So, go raid the cow pasture and have some fun with "God/Ween/Satan: The Oneness." You'll never look back.
