This is the album for you! Perfectly embodying the most brutal aspects of a bad trip and making it instructive and quite practical (when it's all over). Even as a Ween album it's a bit abrasive though. Experience only under the most controlled circumstances. Expect some side effects... addiction may occur.

next to white pepper, this is the best ween album! more polished than the pod, but still as greazy!!

i like

To most Ween fans, this album is simply a transition from their more un-organized wierdness from Godweensatan and The Pod to there well organized later albums, but Pure Guava must not be over-looked. Its odd sort of humor is simply brilliant. The brothers Gene and Dean came up with half of these songs on the spot, only adding to its brilliance. Songs like "Big Jilm" and "The Going Get Tough From the Getgo" are catchy and humorous. "I Play it off Legit" is oddly hilarious, and possibly improvised (near the middle-end of the song, you can here Gene encourage Dean to "keep going"). "Little Birdy" is extremely wonderous and aw inspiring: one can almost picture the singers happiness with the small bird. The band even dives into country with the Deaner-sung "I Saw Gener Cryin' in his Sleep." That leaves us with Don't Get Too Close To My Fantasy," the band's rejection to the popularity of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody." All in all, this is a great Ween album but not for new listeners to Ween. Those types of people should ease themselves into their twisted sense of humor with a lighter album, such as "The Mollusk" or "White Pepper"

OMG.this is amazing. best record ever!! ween kicks majior butt!

when I comment that this is ween's worst album. Yes it's weird, and yes, the pod is weirder. This just doesn't seem to have any merit to it. It doesn't have the creepy feeling that The Pod has, and it doesn't have the energy that God Ween Satan has. There are some jems off of it, like the stallion 3 and don't get 2 close, but the entire album as a collective whole is lacking. Of course, they totally redeemed themselves with chocolate and cheese :) And almost every song they do here is better live ;)

While pure guava lacks the squeaky clean polished feel of chocolate and cheese and doesn't have the consistancy and flow of the mollusk, pure guava is something special, echoing the craziness that was "the pod". I dont necessarily listen to this album for it's strict musicality as much of the album hosts a disorganized, funky feel which only adds to its......erm...charm? The album is image-laden, somewhat stirring and full of far out effects sure to stir and shake even the dullest imagination. My favorite moments of the album are in the quiet mumblings of "tender situation" and the far out, nearly trippy "sarah". The stallion is funny and entertaining in it's helium inspired craziness and poopship destroyer is bound to make one ponder just what the ween bros were thinking. See, perhaps the one word that could be easily used to describe the bands music is : colorful. I dont really have any other way to describe it. Simply put, buy the album and indulge! cheers, and thank's ween.

This is one of my favorites of all time, and it could be yours too. The songs are excellent (Touch My Tooter, Reggaejunkiejew, Push Th' Little Daisies), but mostly Pure Guava is just flat-out hilarious. Virtually every song is a laugh riot, especially The Stallion, Reggaejunkiejew, I Play It Off Legit, Mourning Glory, Don't Get 2 Close, and the rest of them too. Pop this in and press play for a night full of riotous laughter, drug-induced or not.

The good tracks (Stallion, Big Jilm, Sarah, Hey Fatboy, oh and of course Push th' little daisies) are great and coherent with a experimental edge. The rest of the tracks sound like a couple of guys on nitrous messing with a keyboard with vocal effects and pressing record. Pumpin' for the Man is pretty good too, however. Maybe just not my genre - a bit too wackadelic. Check out Chocolate and Cheese for a bit more structure with all the goofy creativity still intact.

Ween has accomplished something entirely unique with this album. Many of these songs have a wonderful disorienting effect to them, particularly Little Birdy, I Play It Off Legit, and the terribly hilarious "Flies On My Dick", which sadly isn't on this album due to iTunes partial review shtick (also not included is the legendary closer "Poop Ship Destroyer".) People with open-minds will find this album to be demented, confusing, and amazing. Otherwise, you'll be disturbed out of your mind.
