5...according to our Business Lady on Thu 18 Feb, 2010.

Didn't expect to see a fresh copy of this to come through the golden gates of Norman towers...I should pay more attention. So Schnitzel are taking care of a repressing of 'The Pod' much to the delight of almost everyone in the world. Recorded to four track whilst whacked out on goof balls and silly string Dean and Gene Ween's efforts on The Pod are some of the most hilarious committed to tape. Totally bizarre and supposively inspired by crazed recreational drug use The Pod is considered to be the most challenging of the their LP's mainly due to shonky four track production, muffled instruments and effected vocal lines. Primarily made up of tracks taken from the Bilboa tape and the Big Timmy Wasserman tape and recorded whilst the duo we're suffering from an acute case of mononucleosis (maybe?) 'The Pod' has that unhinged sound that can never be replicated. A totally unique and awesome record. Repressed on 180g vinyl and CD. come highly reccommended...by me...business Lady.

Reissue - Round jewel case CD.

The Pod was recorded by Dean and Gene Ween on a Tascam four-track cassette recorder between January and October 1990. The album was then produced and mixed by Andrew Weiss and for this edition has been re-mastered by Howie Weinberg.
The Pod is probably the band's most surreal album. All of the songs have a murky, sludgy quality to them, possibly due to being recorded on a four-track, and many of the vocals are manipulated in strange ways.
