Ween the mollusk vinyl.
After the previous year s exercise in country music 12 golden country greats the duo returns to its usual genre jumping though there is a heavy focus on prog rock.
The mollusk is perhaps their most concise and well honed record to date.
The plain recordings pressing of the mollusk is a pretty average sounding pressing for such a great album.
Takes a bit of aggressive eq to bring any life into a very dull and quiet pressing.

This is such an important album i wish it received a better treatment.
I ve been avoiding anything from plain but i really want to complete my ween vinyl collection so i went out on a limb and bought the mollusk on black vinyl.
Ween is one of those bands that once you listen to one single song you get sucked in.
They put out some of the most creative experimental music known to man while maintaining an identity.
This album is themed around the ocean with most of the songs being written on a beach house in new jersey.
And it s surprising that this vinyl has such a week sound because the cd sounds fine.
The mollusk is no exception to this tradition.
1997 s the mollusk is yet another sign that ween just got better and better with each record.
Who knows also make the mollusk 2x12 45 rpm for best quality.
I can confirm that it sounds digitally sourced it sounds exactly like the cd and it is by far the noisiest new lp i have ever purchased.
Who knows also make the mollusk 2x12 45 rpm for best quality.
