24.0.161.62
With the unfortunate exception of "Morning Glory" which I find close to unlistenable. But I think the high points of both are around the same quality and frequency, yet The Pod definitely has more stuff I just don't like listening to very much, especially in the second half.
Of course, I'm with Dean in saying The Mollusk will probably always be my favorite Ween album. Strangely enough, I'm extremely close to thinking Shinola and 12 Golden Country Greats might be in the running with C&C for my second favorite.
