Ween - La Cucaracha

"Ween:

La Cucaracha, Coming 10/23/2007 !

For the past 20 years, Ween has established itself as a major artistic force, combining off-the-wall musical antics with brilliantly creative songwriting. La Cucaracha, Ween's new studio record, is an eclectic, dark, humorous, and bizarre assortment of songs. In other words, it's a typical Ween record. These thirteen tracks, though strongly diverse, share a common theme: relationships. It's a theme that can be at once joyful, morbid, humorous, and often frightening. From the tenderly introspective "Lullaby" to the disturbingly offensive "My Own Bare Hands," Ween pulls no punches in its latest endeavor, which acheives its power through sharp wit, clever songwriting, and brutal honesty."

I'm looking forward to this record, even though I couldn't stand the friends ep.

nice. it's been a while since ween did a proper release. im very excited.

nice, I have high expectations for this one

i'm fucking pumped. after the greatness that was shinola (even though it wasn't a 'proper' release) and how much i thought the friends ep was sweet (fuck you), this should be pretty damn good.

holdin my cock for this one.

Hells yeah! Another 3 hour + show from them will be nice as well...

the version of friends on this is way better than on the ep. its also kind of the highlight? I cant say for sure the leak quality sucks.

They got it streaming on there myspace, well worth a listen.

Got this yesterday without listening to it first and I have to say it's a real disappointment. Really pains me to say it since I've been with them since the early 90s, but these songs just seem like a shell of what they should be. A couple nice moments (Blue Balloon, Spirit Walker, etc.), but really it seems like they are king of at the point of parodying themselves at this point. The songs just jump from one genre exercise to another but the tracks just don't have any substance to them.
