 | | When Ween released their debut, God Ween Satan, in 1990, the question on most listeners' minds was "Are they serious?" Ten years later, White Pepper has folks asking "Are they joking?" No, as evidenced by the straightforward pop that makes up their eighth studio effort. |
 | | Before even listening to the work, the liner notes initiate Ween is on a mission: one side of the sleeve is completely white (with the exception of the "white pepper," whose representation echoes Edward Weston's "Pepper, No. 30") while exploding with a cornucopia of red, green, and yellow peppers on the reverse side. |
 | | This is Ween's modus operanti, achieving the preset attempt at an homage while maintaining the band's trademark gallows humor whose noose is, as always, dangling above the neck of society and popular music in general. |
