Pure guano will be the reaction of most, but there's a certain primative charm about the straight-to-tape musings of these whacked-out dilettantes with a drum machine. --Jeff Bateman --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

Who needs drugs when you have Pure Guava?.......2007-04-29

This album is hilarious, intoxicating and bizarre at the same time. 'Nuff Said.

"Pure Guava" is a ninties classic.......2007-01-21

One of the more weirder albums from Ween, Pure Guava, is definitly up there with one of there best cds of all time. Timeless classics such as "Push Th' Little Daisies","The Stallion (pt. 3)", "Touch My Tooter", and of course the prog rock specialty "Don't Get 2 Close (2 My Fantasy)". Another thing to remember about this album is that is was there final album using a four-track recorder. The same recording device was used on debut album "GodWeenSatan: The Oneness" and sophmore album "The Pod". The great thing about this album is that it is so loose and free which means it can be liked by anyone (with good taste in music). Each song is different, and the great thing about this band itself is that if you don't like one album you'll probably like the next album. Because every album of theres has a different theme. This album was very enjoyable to listen to. I Think if you are reading my review, you will love this album.

Completely pointless.......2007-01-10

I presume from the average ratings that this one is meant to be like Captain Beefheart's "Trout Mask Replica" - you either love it or think it's atrocious. Count me among the latter. There is, quite literally, zero, songwriting talent on display here. For truly great geek-rock music from the same period, try They Might Be Giants. Toss this in the bin.

Argh. I wanted to rate this zero stars, but Amazon won't let me!

DADA ALTERNATIVE ROCK MASTERPIECE.......2006-09-06

This CD was my first exposure to WEEN. A friend had taped it for me, and sent it to me thru the mail. AT the time, i was singing in a band, and would get home around 4am, very tired, smoke a little to relax, and then play some music over headphones. Well, that night, after a fight with the bass player, a pseudo rasta, I came home, lit up, and played this totally unprepared as what to expect. AND JUST FELL APART LAUGHING. Plus, i remember being VERY freaked out, by the pure psychedelic qualities of many of the songs. This was recorded on one of those Cassette four tracks, where you could vary the speed of the tape, to get all these bizarre VSO effects. (This is why many of the songs sound like they are sung by "The Chipmunks" on acid, or give you the swirling sonic effect of being flushed down a toilet bowl.) Sadly the age of DIGITAL RECORDING has removed the lo-fi movement from its legitimate four track beginnings. None of PURE GUAVA's songs stylisticallyl flow in and out of each other, they all clash against each other, and usually against you too. PUSH THE LITTLE DAISIES was the "hit", that even Beavis and Butthead at the time had on their show. That song was pure pop, and hard to get out of your head, even if you DONT want it there. BUT, "RASTAFARIAN REGGAE JUNKIE JEW"?? Who thinks of songs like that? IT reminded me so much of my bass player, that all the tension of being angry earlier that night at the concert, just disappeared behind the over the top pseudo rascism of the songs lyrics. OR, was it PLAY IT OFF LEGIT, when they made fun of the way ostentenious gays speak? Did I fall over laughing there too? Anyway, when the tape was done playing, i couldnt believe what i had just heard, and I was hooked. I have this now on CD, and even tho I cant say i listen to it ALL THE TIME, its a nessacary part of my brain, my memories, and my taste in music. The next CD I bought was CHOCOLATE AND CHEESE, with the great Spinal Menningitis song. I can only imagine these guys are just nuts. AND, someday, some critic is going to recognise the connection between bands like this, early FLAMING LIPS, HALF JAPANESE, BUTTHOLE SURFERS, and ultimately, the rock jokers MOTHERS OF INVENTION and early CAPT BEEFHEART. I only hope that humor, experimentation and D.I.Y. gusto never leaves the public taste. Today, a band like this would NEVER be signed by a major label. That's sad.

The most screwed up album you will ever hear.......2006-02-06

This is album is good, but was even too weird for me! And I
like a lotta weird crap. Songs like, " Mourning glory,Touch
my tooter, the last song,hey fay boy...." It is a unique album and extremley diverse, like the out of nowhere fast crazy,
"Pumpin' 4 the man". For me the rest is TOO weird. Some stand
out tracks:" Going gets tough from the get-go," is the crazyest song. " Push th's little dasies,"is actually a good song and hillarious.Even one serious song, sort of," sarah," if not for the sped up voice. A lot of people said beck stole his style from ween. Which might be true. He was proabably just a big
fan. But ween proabably stole it from frank zappa or peter gabriel who stole it from somebody else. This album is interesting, but really screwed up. Take one listen and you
will never forget.
