Ween: “Flutes of Chi” (2000)
Described by Mojo magazine as “Top-notch whiteboy radio rock with an eerie inner glow of Manson family sunshine…” Ween seems like the band the term “genre-bending” was coined to describe.
On 2000’s White Pepper album and “Flutes of Chi” we catch them in (mostly) straightforward, irony-free form, as they salute traditional Lennon/McCartney-influenced pop.
