The Mollusk was Ween's 6th full length album, released on Elektra Records on June 24, 1997.
Continuing with their departure from their traditional style started on their previous album, 12 Golden Country Greats, The Mollusk plays almost like a concept album, as most of the songs contained within have a nautical theme and play up Ween's obsession with prog-rock. There are some exceptions to this rule (such as the stomping "I'll Be Your Jonny on the Spot" and 12 Golden Country Greats leftover "Waving My Dick in the Wind"), but for the most part, it holds true.
