Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 11 out of 15
  2. Negative: 0 out of 15
  1. La Cucaracha is just another sprawling Ween record--fans will love it, neophytes will be confused-but it's the best sprawling Ween record since 1997's "The Mollusk."
  2. 80
    It's better to simply let La Cucaracha happen and enjoy how much Gene and Dean toy with and transgress musical forms while still playing them to a high degree of invention, proficiency and sincerity. [Dec 2007, p.99]
  3. La Cucaracha is still a bit of a disappointment, short on memorable tunes and a bit muddier and more piecemeal than it should be.

    This is by far the worst Ween album to date...I used to love these guys, but what the hell happened? no humor, crappy production, weak songs...no where near the highs of White Pepper or Quebec. major letdown. Time to pack it in boys. Expand

    I'm a huge long, long time fan and i don't think it's time to pack it in. They take chances and when you do that you're not going to please everyone. I personally hate the record...i think it's horrible. Expand
