The Mollusk by Ween
The Mollusk is an album by Ween, released in 1997. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 7 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Ocean Man”, on 3 lists with a best position of #265.
The Mollusk, Ween's sixth studio album, came out on Elektra on June 24, 1997, and it's a concept record gone gloriously to sea. Gene Ween and Dean Ween, the New Hope, Pennsylvania duo who never met a genre they wouldn't raid, steer the ship through psychedelia, sea shanties and a heavy dose of prog, all under a dark, briny nautical theme.
It swings from the sweetly daft "Ocean Man" to the warped, seasick drift of "Mutilated Lips" and the showbiz vamp of "I'm Dancing in the Show Tonight", with plenty of the pair's trademark irreverence in between. The band themselves rate it at the top of the pile: Dean has called it the only record he ever felt really sure of and his favorite they've made, and Gene has said much the same. White Pepper would close out their Elektra run three years later.
