The album that created Spongebob Squarepants | Ween - The Mollusk

On this episode of Vinyl Verdict, Bell, Jamie and Plouffe listen to Bell's next pick, Ween's The Mollusk. Their sixth album, The Mollusk was the first album done in a traditional recording studio and with an expanded lineup, adding a drummer in place of a drum machine used on previous albums. Like the Audioslave album we covered a couple weeks back, the album cover was designed by Storm Thorgerson, who had previously done album covers for bands such as Pink Floyd. The album was a great influence on the creator of Spongebob Squarepants, who later requested a song from Ween for the show and featured the song Ocean Man on the Spongebob Squarepants Movie soundtrack. The album was well reviewed, with several publications including it on their year-end best of lists. Will this album take you by the hand and lead you to the land of sweet musical enjoyment? Come along and find out!
