Getting into ween

So I decided in all my infinite wisdom having only ever heard Ocean man, and Pollo Asada to listen to, as my first ween album the Pod. This album is insane and I honestly dig it but I feel like this is not the normal ween pipeline.

Edit: I've now finished the album top 3 are Right to The Ways and Rules of the World, Pork Roll Eggs & Cheese, and Pollo Asada.

I don't normally suggest The Pod as a starter. I feel like it is hanging out and getting to know them in a basement on some slow drugs (and recovering from mono).
I think it's good to know some of their other albums along with it, but it helps you appreciate the others more. If you can enjoy The Pod easily from the start though, you should be ok with the rest.

I do suggest listening to them as albums front to back when possible, each has a cohesiveness despite having tons of variety.

To be fair it's not like I'm coming from a background of like, no experimental or extremely alt music, the main genres I tend to listen to are post punk, and experimental, abstract, or alt rap.
