Granted, Dean and Gene Ween have about 60 albums to go before they amass a discography the size of Frank Zappa’s, but the comparisons are apt. For more than two decades, the screwball Pennsylvania duo have explored virtually every musical style known to man, but their fondness for the absurd—and the occasional dick joke—frequently overshadows some serious musicianship and compositional ability. Having already earned a sturdy cult following, in recent years, Ween have also been embraced by the jam-band scene, probably due to their legendarily fantastic live shows and liberal concert-taping policies. That means even if albums like the recent La Cucaracha don’t sell like hotcakes, there’ll always be a home for Ween on the road.
