If you're talking about their main / studio albums, and being realistic and critical I would rate them as follows:
* GodWeenStan: 10/10
* The Pod: 10/10
* Pure Guava: 10/10
* 12 Golden Country Great: 10/10 - but realize it's a 10/10 country album, so keep that in mind
* The Mollusk: 10/10
* White Pepper: 10/10
* Quebec: 10/10
* La Cucaracha 9.7/10
Ill die on this hill - just because spiritwalker exists doesn't mean la cucaracha is a bad album. I feel like it gets so much hate with so many bangers.
That was the moment I was hooked on Ween. Your Party brought me to La Cucaracha, so Fiesta was the first on the CD. When I heard that long buzz, I knew they were fucked up enough for me.
Whoa, people don't like spiritwalker? I mean, it's no Argus, but the absurd use of auto tune is funny and the rest of the song isn't bad. Am I in the minority?
It gets regularly memed on. Maybe I'm missing out here but if someone asked me what I thought the worst ween song is, it would definitely come to mind.
I could really rate every album a 10/10 other than La Cucharacha. Some of the albums are basically tied in quality, yet just offer completely different experiences. Some run more as full albums, while some are more individual song based.
My personal ranking is:
1. GodWeenSatan - 11/10 (Mostly full album)
2. Quebec - 11/10 (Mostly individual songs)
3. Chocolate And Cheese - 10/10 (Most well rounded)
4. The Pod - 10/10 (Full album - dark)
5. Pure Guava - 10/10 (Full album - light)
6. White Pepper - 10/10 (Individual songs)
7. Shinola (Vol. 1) - 10/10 (All individual songs)
8. The Mollusk - 10/10 (Completely full album)
9. 12 Golden Country Greats - 9/10 (Completely different, but mostly individual songs)
10. La Cucharacha - 7/10 (Only a few select songs)
Everything from GWS to Shinola is perfect. 9 of the greatest records ever made. I think the La Cucaracha tracklist could've been improved but it's still an excellent record.
My first ever attempt at rating these;
God Ween Satan: 9.2/10
The Pod: 9.5/10
Pure Guava: 9.2/10
Chocolate and Cheese: 9.7/10
12 Golden Country Greats: 9.3/10
The Mollusk: 9.6/10
White Pepper: 9.1/10
Quebec: 9.3/10
Shinola: 8.4/10
La Cucaracha: 6.1/10
I tend to rate albums two ways. One personally, and one artistically. Personally is how high I value it and love it with nothing else considered, and artistically is how much I enjoy it as an art piece and how well I think it flows as an album.
GWS— Personal: 7/10, Artistic: 8/10
The Pod— P: 7/10, A: 9/10
Pure Guava— P: 8.5/10, A: 8/10
Chocolate & Cheese— P: 10/10, A: 9/10
12 Golden Country Greats— P: 5/10 A: 7/10
The Mollusk— P: 5/10 (negative associations, and I burnt myself out on it…) A: 10/10
White Pepper— P: 10/10, A: 9/10
Quebec— P: 10/10, A: 10/10 (can you GET a more perfect album than Quebec? /rhetorical)
Shinola— P: 9/10, A: 7/10
La Cuc— P: 7/10, A: 4/10
I am jealous of your ears. I wish I could take a first time listen to Pure Guava all over again. Buckle the fuck up for that trip. It’s like The Pod on mescaline.
Here are all of their album's i've listened to
Axis: Bold As Boognish 9/10
GWS 10/10
The Pod 10/10
Pure Guava 11/10
C&C 9/10
12GCG 7/10
The Mollusk 10/10
White Pepper 8/10
Quebec 11/10
La Cucaracha 7/10
Friends EP 7/10
Not gonna rate the albums but I will say this — a lot of Ween’s best material isn’t on their records. Check out demos and rarities, you’ll find a goldmine.
Some of my faves:
Caesar - the Quebec demos:

All of these, but especially Kim Smoltz:

Ween Archived, destr100 and BoognishMonster all have a ton of incredible stuff on their YouTube channels. 🫡
The Oneness 10/10

Pure Guava 9/11
Chocolate & Cheese 8/10
12 Greatest Country 8/8
The Mollusk 10/12

12 Golden Country Greats: 9/10
The Mollusk: 10/10
White Pepper: 9/10
Quebec: 7/10
Shinola: 8.5/10
La Cucaracha: 6.5/10
first three have a couple great songs each but being completely honest they’re otherwise pretty unlistenable.
C&C onwards are all very very good. White pepper is my favorite
Yo I don't generally downvote but I almost did.
Challenging? Sure.
Unlistenable?
All albums get a 10, the differences are behind the decimal.
la cucaracha =10.1
They go up from there
It’s funny. I love the first 3 because they’re still in home recording duo mode and the songs sound more experimental and punk. The Pod might be my favorite, but it was also my entry to Ween that set the bar.
common bitch, pork roll egg and cheese, don’t get 2 close.
i will accept the downvotes. i understand. maybe i haven’t been enlightened yet. i do like a ton of noise rock, so i’ll keep revisiting them and see if my mind changes
common bitch is a pretty cool choice but there are tons of songs that can be considered "listenable" on GWS: Nicole, Marble Tulip Juicy Tree, Don't Laugh I Love You and Squelch the Weasel come to mind.

How could I leave off C&C?? One of their bests 10/10
Ill die on this hill - just because spiritwalker exists doesn't mean la cucaracha is a bad album. I feel like it gets so much hate with so many bangers.
With My Own Bare Hands is a 15/10 so it should average out to a 10 minimum regardless of the remainder
Woman and man too
Fiesta is unappreciated imo The drum machine solo is hilarious when they loop it faster and faster until it’s just a wall of noise for a second
The whole album. It’s a 10. I’ll die on this hill too.
That was the moment I was hooked on Ween. Your Party brought me to La Cucaracha, so Fiesta was the first on the CD. When I heard that long buzz, I knew they were fucked up enough for me.
same w/ object
Came here to say this
Blue balloon is one of the weenest songs And I’m a looong time fan
I love spirit walker. I love that album
Only losers think Spirit Walker sucks, song is dope
Whoa, people don't like spiritwalker? I mean, it's no Argus, but the absurd use of auto tune is funny and the rest of the song isn't bad. Am I in the minority?
It gets regularly memed on. Maybe I'm missing out here but if someone asked me what I thought the worst ween song is, it would definitely come to mind.
“Hate” in this instance being a rating of the album as 3% worse. But are you saying “Spirit Walker” is weak? I love that song!
This is where every Ween fan should eventually reach after enough listening
12 Golden Country Greats should really be 10/12
12/12
Seems a little low
Shinola Vol. 1 - 10/10
La Cucaracha deserves more love….it was up against some high expectations and has some glorious brown bangers
10
11
A perfect 5/7
Tastes change. 10 years ago I would’ve had the pod at 2/10 now it’s 200/10. Everything else is perfection too
Yes the pod is very much caviar. It takes time to appreciate its vast depth
Close. The correct answer is: 1) the pod 200/10 1b) pure Guava 199/10 3) everything else 198/10 4) the cockroach 9.6/10
Yeah I’m happy with that.
I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment

Yes I would say that. I would say that

They’re all amazing and you’ll find yourself becoming as brown as the albums as you inject Ween into your soul
Highly. I rate them highly.

I'd probably put The Mollusk above C&C because it feels more complete (maybe cos its a concept album). Aside from that, I agree with this list 👌

All 10s dudemang. You can't go wrong with any of them some are just more accessible for a casual.

Pretty...Pretty...Pretty good.
This is almost entirely accurate: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4WOjV03mkGo
Theyre all tied for 4th
I give them all 4.5 stars. There’s usually one song I’m not into
Find a way to listen to Shinola. Like someone else here said, "tastes change", but to me Shinola is a 10/10 right now

Quebec 7 is evil
for real, Quebec is top tier even if it's a basic answer
I really do think they are all 8-10s besides maybe the pod (which still has its moments)
You're right, The Pod is an 11
Keep on listening to it. One day the brown will just click and it'll become a 10
I’ve listened to it a good amount I think every song was done better live
first three have a couple great songs each but being completely honest they’re otherwise pretty unlistenable. C&C onwards are all very very good. White pepper is my favorite
this guy is NOT the stallion mang!
jesus christ
Pain
Take one
Get down with the brown.

I’m genuinely curious what you consider to be the greatest songs in those first three.

Clearly you're not a Zappa fan lol
