{"product_id":"ween-the-pod-cd-1991","title":"WEEN The Pod CD (1991)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pod was recorded in 1991 almost entirely under the influence of Scotchgard fumes, and it sounds exactly like that, in the best possible way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDean and Gene Ween made this record on a four-track in a New Jersey basement with a chemical assist that the manufacturer definitely did not intend, and what came out was one of the most genuinely deranged pieces of alternative rock the nineties produced. It is lo-fi in the way that means the distortion is load-bearing, not decorative. It is funny in the way that makes you slightly uncomfortable. It sits in a tradition that includes the Butthole Surfers and Mr Bungle, artists who understood that genre is a suggestion and good taste is for people who are afraid. If your record collection has a corner reserved for things that resist easy explanation, The Pod belongs in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCD. 1991 full length album. USA.
