Product Description

From Amazon.com

Those of us who worship at the Church of Ween (Hail to the great god Boognish!) know that skinny blond twerp Beck stole his whole shtick from New Jersey musical geniuses Dean and Gene. Always ahead of their time, the brothers Ween have responded by abandoning their traditional lo-fi four-track recording methods and giving us their lushest album yet, Chocolate and Cheese. Not that Ween's fourth effort is polished; that adjective could never describe an album that veers wildly from acoustic Mexican folk songs, to pure '70s disco, to the appropriately named single, "I Can't Put My Finger On It." But Chocolate and Cheese may come even closer than "Push Th' Little Daisies" to fulfilling Dean's goal of establishing Ween as the next Counting Crows. --Jim DeRogatis

5.0 out of 5 stars The Brownest Cd Ever, 2 Feb 2004
This review is from: Chocolate and Cheese (Audio CD)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars An album so varied and bizarre you have to love it., 5 Aug 2000
This review is from: Chocolate and Cheese (Audio CD)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars So refreshing and entirely new-sounding, 31 May 2002
By J. Coorg (Brighton, E Sussex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Chocolate and Cheese (Audio CD)
Usually a chillout and soul/reggae buyer, I bought this on the strength of being played the marvellous guitar tune "A tear for Eddie"..... good enough, I thought, to buy the whole cd.
To my delight I found the whole album to be an eclectic mixture of styles and very witty too..... pretty well mixed too.
As Rolling Stone quoted- "Zappa is their ultimate Papa"
Nice one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't put my finger on it.....
Chocolate and Cheese was the first Ween album I heard, and it's fair to say I still regard it as their best. Read more
