This is the first Ween album I bought, and it's still my favorite after buying four more. It doesn't fit into a catagory of musical styles - I mean you can't think "I feel like listening to something mellow/heavy/dancy, I'll play Chocolate & Cheese", because this album sways so randomly from one musical style to the next. Songs of completely different moods are juxtaposed together to create as jarring an effect as possible. They're all good, though - some fast, some bluesey, some grungey, some wonderfully downright odd, and some completely mental (only Ween could write a song called 'Spinal Meningitis Got Me Down'), but they're all, just, kinda, 'good'. The album finishes and leaves you thinking "What the hell was that all about! " It's very refreshing. The band seem to be enjoying just doing what they want to do, instead of trying so hard to be a success. Maybe that's why I like them so much. I recommend it highly. Buy it.

Ween's unique mix of juvenile, weirdo humor and musical prowess is awe-inspiring, and they bring that in spades for `Chocolate and Cheese'. All the tracks are neatly produced this time, compared to their previous efforts, `GodWeenSatan', `The Pod', and `Pure Guava'. Still, this doesn't detract from the album's charm and no music genre escapes the Ween boy's grasp. They even manage to pervert Philly soul with "Freedom of `76". That track is hilarious, but it can stand on its own as a real, soulful masterpiece. That's the beauty of their music; no mater how postmodern they get, they never alienate the listener, i.e. the song keeps its heart despite being a mutant.
Highly recommended for smart college students.

Chocolate and Cheese is one of those rare animals, a perfect album. It if packed to bursting with beautifully crafted songs that never age and make you smile over and over again, especially if your humour runs to children with spinal meningitis and ponies collapsing on driveways. This is Ween's strongest release by some way.

Usually a chillout and soul/reggae buyer, I bought this on the strength of being played the marvellous guitar tune "A tear for Eddie"..... Read more
