Note: This video exists only for entertainment and educational purposes, in the interest of exposing people to some of the more obscure music made by an already obscure band. All of the copyrights for these songs clearly belong to Ween.

Ween has been one of my favorite bands for a very long time, but most of my familiarity with them is focused on their later works, such as Chocolate and Cheese, 12 Golden Country Greats, The Mollusk, and Quebec. I was inspired to sit down and record a listen-through of one of Ween's earliest albums, The Pod.

The Pod is an absolute oddity. Recorded in an apartment on a Tascam four-track cassette recorder and later released on Shimmy Disc records in 1991, the album contains many of the defining qualities that Ween's later work would become known for. Many Ween fans look at this album favorably, citing its sludgy tone, crunchy guitar riffs, and goofy lack of coherence. Some people describe it as "Brown", other people describe it as "shit I don't want to listen to." I dive in to see if it's any good.

This video is approximately 45 minutes long. It was originally an hour and a half. I tried my best to edit out the filler and leave only the best bits of this listening session.
