White Pepper was Ween's seventh full-length album, and the last album they would release on Elektra Records. It was released on May 2, 2000.
White Pepper is by far Ween's most polished album, and probably the group's most accessible. Songs like "Even If You Don't" feature powerful, radio-friendly production and musicianship. Ween's bizarre sense of humour is still intact (such as on the Steely Dan satire "Pandy Fackler") and their hard rock roots still show ("Stroker Ace" is possibly the most hard rocking song the group have recorded to date), but for the most part, Ween play the album much more subdued than usual, using pop (especially Beatles-based pop) and AM radio staples for its inspiration.
