Quebec Turns 20

There are great albums that open with mediocre tracks and mediocre albums that open with great tracks. But glancing at my CD collection, I can’t find an album with a more wildly incongruous opener than Ween’s Quebec. This thing blasts out the gate with “It’s Gonna Be A Long Night,” a pounding, Motörhead-spawned scorcher that would make mid-2000s music bloggers spell “rawk” with an A-W-K.
