N/C - Burn Out, Idiot Savant, Geniuses.

The most unrestrained Not Crap I will ever give. Beside my feeling that most of their songs and most of the albums in which those songs are contained are fantastic, they have, for the 11 years that I have been going to their shows, provided some of the most adventurous, stylistically varied live performances I could imagine. Plus, they convinced a bunch of old Nashville session players to go on the road for an extended tour. Finally, Claude Coleman is a force behind the drumset.

Umm, it's a reference to the number of "country great" Nashville session musicians that joined them for the album.

NOT CRAP
Quite possibly the most annoying band ever. So annoying that I can no longer listen to them. But they get the NC vote from me for being evil enough to sing a song about AIDS backed by what sounds like carnival music.

Man rules his family with an iron fist:

I watched some of that Live in Chicago dvd a while back.

Pretty crappy.

No where near the Ween that I remember back in the day. I think they've gone "clean" now, or something.

Their songs, without that ridiculous druggy-haze, are nowhere near as fulfilling.

Are you talking about yourself or them?

"El Camino" still makes me chuckle, even though I bet Glynnisjohns isn't laughing about what happened to his.

On the contrary, I think it says something that those songs originally recorded by 2 stoned kids on a 4-track can be played by a full band 15 years later and sound so good.
