Description

Dean and Gene Ween were barely out of their teens when they recorded God Ween Satan: The Oneness, and it shows: its juvenile in the best sense of the word, mixing their sprawling sense of humor with punk, heavy metal and a surprising amount of pop literacy. The album features a lot of noodling and lots of whacked-out pop, including Nan, a dweeby tale of unrequited love and the jazzy Never Squeal, which shows off Weens musical prowess and versatility. It also introduces many of the song styles the band included on their later releases, such as the prog-rock-inspired ballad Squelch the Little Weasel, the Prince homage L.M.L.Y.P., the playful, helium-laced pop of Dont Laugh and the funky, soulful Nicole.
