Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Ween is often dismissed as a novelty band, but those who stoop to such judgments should check out this shaggy document of Gene and Dean bringing it to the people. Paintin' the Town Brown captures the brothers Ween in their early days playing to DAT accompaniment through their full band stints. The strongest cuts on this release come from their 1996 country tour; backed by a crackerjack band of Nashville studio legends, Ween saddles traditional honky-tonk with politically incorrect lyrics and the whole package seems to make a lot of sense. Longtime fans will be thrilled at the inclusion of obscure Ween cuts like "Mountain Dew," "Vallejo," and "Ode to Rene." Casual fans will have a hard time with disc two, a spotlight on Ween's overindulgent Boredoms-like jams. Still, it's hard not to admire a band that tackles French cabaret music, Middle Eastern drones, funk, punk, and demented children's music. --Jason Josephes

5.0 out of 5 stars If you don't know WEEN, you ain't brown..., January 27, 2000
By "bozoschlumberger" (Santa Rosa, California) - See all my reviews
Lets face it -- if this album is your first exposure to Dean & Gene Ween's music, your response will probably range from mild annoyance to outright cringing. But for us Ween officianados, and especially for those who have been fortunate to be blessed with a 4-hour live show or two, this album is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Early super-sloppy inclusions such as "Mushroom Festival in Hell" and "Mountain Dew" demonstrates the band's remarkable ability to really rock without really worrying about how they sound (you'll see what I mean). But before you dismiss them as just another over-indulging garage band, check out the hard-as-rock licks by Deaner in "Awesome Sound" or Gener's soaring vocals in "Can't Put My Finger On It" or Claude Coleman's other-worldly drum solo in "Vallejo". Ween rules. God bless the Boognish.

4.0 out of 5 stars one star off because.., November 16, 1999
By A Customer
i swear i have bootlegs that are longer and better than this, but you have to love it since ween lovingly handpicked the songs themselves. the 26 minute poopship is a masterpiece, and i wish they had the hour long vallejo on another disc making it three but this is just fine. for a live album, ween has so many great live shows and some very old funny ones back in the days when 23 to 12 people were at a live concert, most were held in parking lots, they should have put out a 5 or 6 disc boxset, including all the old concerts, some more nashville material and all the funny stuff. but this is fine, get it or die!

3.0 out of 5 stars great album, but disappointing from Ween
There's no such thing as a bad Ween album. Some are just better than others. I was really looking forward to the double-disc live set from Ween, but was disappointed. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars this is our best gig ever...
Then what happens, there is a mix up and then you hear "I knew you'd f* it up". Ween is one of my favorites. I really like disc one. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars an awesome sound going down...
Not for the sonically squeamish. Parts of this album are so sick you can't even believe it. Gene implores Deaner not to hurt 'em, but he just doesn't listen! Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Note: Hallucinogens not included!
Underhyped, overdosed, Ween blows apart the fragile mechanical parts of the ear known as the drum with rattlesnake-tongue guitar licks and rich-like-fudge lyrics. Read more
