It's pertinent to ask which albums you've given a listen to.
Inlander:
I haven't listened to any particular albums, only songs. We have a music-video programme here called Rage which airs in the wee small hours, and every Friday night they get a touring band to guest-programme it. After all the band's chosen videos are played, then the band's own videos are played, so I saw a lot of their songs that way. That would have been a couple of years ago. Then yesterday at the Big Day Out, a music festival, I saw them play a few songs. Not being very familiar with the band I don't know what any of the songs were called or from what album(s) they came, but I was not impressed by any of them.
C Patrick Carolan:
I really don't 'get' either Ween or MIA.
If anyone can shed some light...
Jackie Blue:
Ween are technically very talented musicians who fuck around with genre conventions in ways that are sometimes amusing and sometimes unexpectedly poignant but are generally always well-done. Their last few albums have been significantly less enjoyable to me than their first five or so, however.
Godweensatan is seriously a masterpiece.
De_El:
I still can't get past the first song on that album. White Pepper is really good and easy to get into, though.
