Music reviews of Chocolate and Cheese
Music Review: Excellent
Rating: 4 Stars
Ween remind me of Frank Zappa: not that they have that massive musical ability, but that behind the jokes, there is a lot of subtance.
And if Ween does not come to Zappa's level, that's fine. No one else in rock does either. But Ween can do it all: mock cocktail, philly soul, straight rock, country, sea chanties, and jazz. If they are not geniuses, they are master stylists, and this is more than enough.
Ween has more focused albums than Chocolate and Cheese, but this is why this one is my favorate. It it there White Album; a sprawling afair where these wonderful wiseasses can strut ALL there stuff--and that ALL is A LOT.
It is not just that this band plays almost anything: it is that they can take that anything and radiate its essence. Listen to the first track; they say "thank ya, thank ya." in the fake Vagas show tone the song it set. "Freedom Of '76" is Philly soul, and when I first heard it-before I knew who it was--I was searching 1970s soul distographies, trying to find out if some obscure band from Gamble and Huff's stable did the number. Any style you like, Ween can do it as well or better than anyone else.
One qualifer. I love satire and good sick joke, but the screaming little girl on "Spinal Menangitas" just rubs me the wrong way. I can't find any irony or higher message in the song, and sick little kids in pain is just not funny--and I am not even a dad. What Ween should have done is made themselves, or a dictator or TV evangelist the infected. But not a cute little tot. If I am missing the point, please leave me a comment: I'd love to be able to enjoy this as the music is so good.
So are Ween, and guys, this set is so good, I'll forgive the spinal tap.
Description of Chocolate and Cheese
Deluxe double 180 gram vinyl LP pressing in a gatefold sleeve. Chocolate And Cheese was Ween's 1994 breakthrough album and features 16 tracks including 'Freedom Of '76', 'Baby Bitch', 'Roses Are Free', 'Voodoo Lady' and many others. Schnitzel. 2007.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
