They have released a number of self-released cassette albums as well as nine studio albums, GodWeenSatan: The Oneness, from 1990, The Pod from 1991, Pure Guava, from 1992, Chocolate and Cheese, from 1994, 12 Golden Country Greats, from 1996, The Mollusk, from 1997, White Pepper, from 2000, Quebec, from 2003, and, La Cucaracha from 2007.
The band stopped recording together after La Curacha in 2007 with Freeman saying, "it was a big piece of shit, I think the songs on it were good, or a bunch of songs, but overall that was a big clue Mickey and I were finito." The band then broke up in 2011 as Freeman went to rehab. Six years later Ween announced they would re-unite for two concerts, they then released a live album GodWeenSatan Live, and continued touring past the 2 concert limit all the way to 2019!
