Pure Guava

Pure Guava was Ween's third studio album, and the first to be released on a major label. Originally released in 1992 through Elektra Records, it features what is perhaps Ween's most well-known song, "Push th' Little Daisies," which ended up becoming a minor alt rock hit. (Though supposedly, the song was a big hit in Australia.)

It should also be noted that Pure Guava marks the last album the group would record on a four-track.

Many of the songs on this album have an almost psychedelic quality in that they disorient listeners.
