Beschreibung

When Dean Ween recorded his first album with the Dean Ween Group, he assumed Ween was over -- an illusion that was punctured by the time the album hit the stores, thanks to a reunion with Gene Ween to play a pair of concerts in early 2016. One show begat another, leading to Ween's revival as a touring band, but the group stayed out of the studio…or, more accurately, Gene Ween stayed out of the studio. Dean Ween built a studio in house and recorded incessantly with the Dean Ween Group, who just happened to be comprised of the same players who make up Ween. As such, Rock, Vol. 2 could possibly be mistaken for a new Ween record but it is also very much an album that doubles down on all of the idiosyncrasies of Dean Ween. Filled with heavy riffs and bawdy jokes, Rock, Vol. 2 is "brown" in a way 2016's The Deaner Album was not. The Deaner Album bore some measure of major-label polish, but Rock, Vol. 2 is intentionally ragged -- an album where vibes overrule songs. That's not to say there aren't good songs here -- "Don't Let the Moon Catch You Crying," co-written with Low Cut Connie's Adam Weiner, is a lovely pop ballad, "Waste Station 9" sends up sci-fi, "Yellow Pontiac" crunches hard, and "Pussy on My Pillow" turns "Help Me Make It Through the Night" into something cheerfully vulgar -- but half of the record consists of composed instrumentals, ranging from the snickering surf of "Fingerbangin'" to the dreamy "Sunset Over Belmar." All this makes Rock, Vol. 2 feel appealingly minor, the work of a rocker who has the ability to indulge all of his whims, so he does. The difference between Rock, Vol. 2 and a record created alone at home is that Dean Ween is supported by a crackerjack rock band who share his tastes, so the album crackles with an energy that supersedes the slightness of the songs. It's an album that celebrates the joy of making music -- and making noise -- and that's an attitude that's infectious. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
