10 Greatest Lo-Fi Albums Of All Time
4. Ween - The Pod
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0kWxiijE40Perhaps the most "Ween" album ever recorded sees Dean and Gene slowly (emphasis on slowly) traversing through a series of sludgy, stoned tracks composed in between cases of mono in 1990. The Pod is a downright nasty album from its instrumentation alone.
Songs like "The Stallion (Part 1)," "Molly," and "Pork Roll Egg and Cheese" meet at some bizarre midpoint between the most accessible songs the duo has ever produced and their most difficult. Lyrical flourishes that are as instant as they are cryptic and unpalatable.
The trudge of "Molly," especially, which makes way for the breakdown and sudden repetition of the titular female character's name is characteristic of this album's mania and experimentation. A record produced in between bouts of being bedridden is bound to produce a series of songs that echo the tiring experience. The Pod echoes and enhances.
