Chocolate & Cheese

Chocolate & Cheese is the best and most accessible album by Ween. The production is very good (not lo-fi) and the songs are clearly finished. Apart from some adolescent fun most songs show the great craftmanship of these two guys resulting in classics like "Freedom of '76", "Baby Bitch", "Buenas Tardes Amigo", "What Deaner Was Talkin' About", "A Tear for Eddie" and "Don't Shit Where You Eat"

Ween is severely underrated. Humor can be very divisive, but their skill and versatility are no joke.

New to me. Amazing

Weird but I kind of liked it. Not what I expected. I’ve heard Ween songs before but never an album. Will check out more.

Settle in for fun & weird lyrics plus kicky bass.

A lot of different genres, and funky lyrics

Ween is nuts, gotta love it

Great choice. Quirky, soulful, creative, absurd in all the right ways. What you really get a sense of here is the love Ween have for music. They embrace various genres with an ease that's rare in music. There's also an inherent humor in these songs that mostly lands pretty well without sounding overly smug or ironic, another skill few artists possess. My only real critique would be that there's such a thing as being a little too eclectic, to the point where there isn't a natural sense of flow, particularly on a good chunk of the back half. Fave Songs: What Deaner Was Talkin' About, A Tear for Eddie, Freedom of '76, Baby Bitch, Voodoo Lady, Don't Shit Where You Eat

I kind of prefer Ween's earlier lo-fi/home recording era, college radio memories of spinning The Pod on vinyl, but there's still a lot to like in this studio era, and a very respectable ratio of their wierdness survived the major label transition.

You had me at circus music.

Surprised there hasn't been a Ween LP anywhere on the original list or user adds until now. Felt good to finally give this mythic band a listen (I'd only heard Ocean Man before), and for the most part I really enjoyed the distinctive character that made itself present in the well-executed instrumentals. I do think this LP lost a good deal of steam as it went along, front-loading its best ideas and getting a bit monotonous as things went on, but overall I appreciated the Ween crash course and enjoyed this album!

Ween is never not interesting! 3 stars.

Alternative rock, neo-psychedelia, experimental rock, comedy rock. Ni fu ni fa.

Rating: 6/10 Best songs: Take me away

Yummy

Are we really doing Ween? Fuck, alright. I know what to expect: 300 different genres, joke lyrics. I dunno what I hate more tbh: these dumbshit Ween albums, or the fact I always like them. Objectively, though, this album is at least 50% filler - like the rest of their stuff. 3/5.

This was fun and fine but nothing special.

Quite fun and a good laugh. Up beat and light hearted.

From the album cover I was expecting this to be some teen pop punk music from an American pie film. It was better than that.

Weird, mixed up genres, obscure lyrics. Had to turn off "Spinal Meningitis", too much for my weak ass. Not bad, but not really for me. Too much strangeness.

Oh shiet, Ween that isn’t The Mollusk or Quebec? (Aka the 100% of Ween music I’m familiar with) Let’s go Perhaps the lack of sleep I am operating on contributes to the rating, but I don’t think this is quite as good as those other Weens. (Then again, I didn’t really care for the Mollusk at first listen but I enjoy it a lot more now.) I concur that this band should be in the original list. After all, 69 Love Songs can’t be the only 90s postmodern genre-hopping experiment! “Take Me Away”, “A Tear For Eddie”, “Mister Would You Please Help My Pony?”, “Joppa Road” July 10, 2025

Love me some Ween

Ween is such an oddly unique band and I’m sure some people love the oddities and genre bouncing found in this album. To me there were some songs that they really excelled in, like the jazzier funky songs were great. But some of their songs are either really weird or they just aren’t as good in some genres. If they stuck to one genre per album I’d probably find one I’d like but instead it’s just songs here and there. 5.5/10
