Ween’s Quebec may be the most versatile record that the band has created in the last 16 years. One thing is for sure, Ween is extremely talented and this album exemplifies that explicitly.

Plenty of smokey psychedelia, country-rockin' fun and damn fine tunes.

I don't think anyone who already has some notion of wanting Quebec could possibly be disappointed-- it's the genre-defying psych of The Mollusk and the incongruous irreverence of 12 Golden Country Greats, and some of the madness that is GodWeenSatan, and it's a lot better than the go-nowhere White Pepper, but nothing I say makes any difference. It's Ween.

There may be no grand scheme, no unifying theme, but after nearly a decade of pseudo-concept albums, that's fine because the format of Quebec lets Ween run wild and indulge in everything the band does best, whether it's freewheeling humor or songcraft, and the results are utterly wonderful.

Though Quebec feels more like a collection of songs than a consistent album, the songs are generally good ones.

Who would have thought that Ween would eventually become heroes to jam-rock-loving hippies everywhere?

As ever, with Ween, those songs where you can't be sure if they're being serious or seriously taking the piss are much more effective than the gag tunes.

Despite an ode to the mood-enhancing drug Zoloft, Quebec finds Dean and Gene Ween toning down the adolescent jokiness. Unfortunately, they don't have enough good musical ideas to pick up the slack.

Even a saint would find their patience severely tried by this.

In the club. Straight up "weening" it. And by "it", haha, let's just say. My divorce. Please I just wanna see the kids. We can't end it like this. I miss you so much.

Ween’s Magnum Opus - Quebec says “Make Divorce Beautiful”
You know, a huge component of the music we listen to these days comes down to the act of not giving a fuck.
At this point in their career, the duo has already become legendary. Seven studio albums under their belts spanning styles from death industrial to alt-country to punk rock to sunshine pop… and everything in between. The words of the almighty Boognish are now in the minds of many, as Gene and Dean Ween ... read more
Never in a million years did I think a band called Ween could make me feel something but here we are. Amazing album also Transdermal Celebration is a masterpiece.
I more agree with critics than people here. I’ve always been in cold relationships with “Quebec”, yesterday I decided to try to listen to it again in hope that something would change for me, but nothing special happened. I’m listening to it right now again and all I can say that this album has as much good and very strong tracks as mid and forgettable material. I find “Quebec” enjoyable as an album, I think that, while it feels more like a compilation of ... read more
Such a coherent album despite it sonically being all over the place. The production and songwriting sound way ahead of its time, and lots of diversity in play. It's a really beautiful experience, with some great dark humour sprinkled in.
Transdermal Celebration is one of the most beautiful songs ever
