  1. Pitchfork
    80
    White Pepper lacks the cohesiveness of earlier works, but it also demonstrates how a band can undergo some serious genre-bending, while still retaining a sound that is uniquely theirs.
  2. Mojo
    80
    Top-notch whiteboy radio rock with an eerie inner glow of Manson family sunshine...
  3. Spin

    Ween are still perved to the core.
  4. Wall of Sound

    White Pepper may make listeners put off by Ween's crudeness give them another chance.
  5. AllMusic
    60
    Their most accessible album to date, lacking the flights of fancy and exuberant bizarreness that have marked each of their albums.
  6. Rolling Stone
    60
    White Pepper, their seventh studio album, could be Ween's most accessible release yet.
  7. Sonicnet
    40
    Ween are at their best when they either dive headlong into ridiculousness or play it totally straight (admittedly, they don't do the latter very often). Here, however, they walk a rickety platform between those extremes and frequently fall into the ironizer's pit.

    I like this album, but it's a bit on the weak side for them.

I like The Mollusk, Quebec, chocolate and cheese, and even La Cucaracha better than this. With that said there is a few gems here. Bananas and Blow, Pandy Fackler, Falling Out, Flutes of chi are all awesome.....stay forever sucks.… Expand
