i'm done kidding myself dude, this is the best hip hop record ever
I wasn't expecting to enjoy this admittedly but man chamber music time and time again proves to be the most tragically underrated genre ever. Could've done with a few songs being shorter though admittedly.
i'm literally only using this review as my ranking of every ween song, enjoy

[Intro: I Scream Man, Children]
Okay
I think I finally escaped
Let's move the body out of the way
And cover it up so I'm safe- (wait)

Mr. Ice cream man (No, I ain't got no ice cream for you kids)
Mr. Ice cream man (Go, didn't I tell you I'm all out of business?)
We want the ice cream, ice cream, ice, ice cream, ice, ice cream, ice (Oh)
We want the ice, ice cream, ice, ice cream, ice, ice cream (Oh no, no)

95-->100
one of the most insanely fun albums ever with almost perfect precision on every damn note. their best work though not by a landslide (says a lot about how insane these guys were)
also River is easily their best song, an 82? really???
song titles are the type of stuff you see when you hit "translate" on a tweet from the IDF
oh my god the tarkus suite, I mean it's genuinely impossibly flawless. from the fantastic opening, absolutely incredible (and sometimes weirdly funny lyrics, particularly the deadpan "Save every single hair on his head... 𝓗𝓮'𝓼 𝓭𝓮𝓪𝓭"), the swingy ass instrumental, and the absolutely pathetic marching band-esque closing serves as a weirdly perfect ending for a song about why war is pointless.

considering this is technically their 1st recorded album i did this one maybe earlier than i should but whatever
absolute fucking masterpiece. creepy, hard-rockin, introspective, and a damn good time
decided to check out the og post-rock album (pre-rock?) and it was just as piss-your-pants as i'd hoped
last two or so minutes is what imagine an angel dying sounds like
The only way I really know how to summarize this album is like masturbation in song form. They really, really make you wait for the good parts, but jesus christ, when it hits it instantly becomes worth it.
