GodWeenSatan: The Oneness was the first official Ween album, released on Twin/Tone Records in 1990. Their first album introduces several key themes for the group, including their eclecticism, gonzo sense of humor, and their demon god/mascot The Boognish.

This album would later be reissued in 2001 by Restless Records in a special "25th Anniversary Edition" (the album had been only 11 years old), featuring digitally remastered sound, new packaging, and the inclusion of three bonus tracks integrated into the original album's playlist.

The album contains tracks that are still staples of Ween's live performances, such as "You Fucked Up," "Fat Lenny," "Marble Tulip Juicy Tree," and "L.M.L.Y.P."
