* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Songs on Quebec: "Among His Tribe", "Hey There Fancypants", "I Don't Want It", and "Chocolate Town" are in the 1-2 range, "Zoloft" and "Tried And True" are a 3, "Transdermal Celebration" is a 5, and "It's Gonna Be A Long Night" is a 7. And then there's "Happy Colored Marbles"... which goes from a light 3 to an 8, even a 9, in an instant.



* ShoutOut: The album cover is a reference to a 3M Paper Game called "Thorns", tampered with to resemble Dean and Gene.

Quebec is the eighth album made by AlternativeRock band [[{{Music/Ween}} Ween]]. Released in 2003, It was their return to the independent circuit (last one was The Pod), after having their Elektra contracts expired, and after the [[SubvertedTrope near-]][[AuthorExistenceFailure death]] of drummer Claude Coleman Jr. in a car accident.

The album is famous for having a [[BrokenBase mixed reception]] when it released, because of the [[ProgressiveRock Prog-rock like songs]] and the [[DarkerAndEdgier darker tone it has]], the latter of which was mainly inspired by Gene's at-the-time failing marriage that led to an apparently messy divorce. [[VindicatedByHistory It's gained a following for the same elements that made its initial reception more mixed]], to the point where it's a major fan favorite.

* IntercourseWithYou: "Tried And True" is possibly about this.



* OneWordTitle: "Zoloft" and "Captain"
* NewSoundAlbum: Even though you could call every single song a "New Sound", Ween basically did go to unexplored territories in this album. To Speed Metal, to Electronic, to even the ambient soundscapes like "Captain", "The Alcan Road" and "The Argus".

* EpicRiff: "It's Gonna Be A Long Night" and the third half of "Happy Colored Marbles".

to:

* DrugsAreBad / DrugsAreGood: Both are played with in "Zoloft" and "Happy Colored Marbles". Both are probably songs about anti-depressants, and since Gene was in a drug addiction at the time of recording this album it does make sense. With "Zoloft", it has the protagonist getting addicted to said drug and has a local talk with his or her psychiatrist (presented by a garbeled voice).
---> Realize that the sky's not made of gold
---> Don't disguise the nature of your soul
** With "Happy Colored Marbles" at the other hand, it has these depressed voices (represented by a melancholic first and second verse) talking about how most people are not okay, but have to do the job. And in the chorus, a sort-of upbeat melody happens and sings about the aforementioned "Happy Colored Marbles". And finally in the instrumental breakdown, it basically is the experience after the affects of said "Marbles"; a screwed up mess and probably the darkest ending for a Ween song ever.
* EpicRiff: "It's Gonna Be A Long Night" Night", "Transdermal Celebration" and the third half of "Happy Colored Marbles".



* LyricalDissonance: "Zoloft" and "Happy Colored Marbles" are songs which are about the happiness... of using anti-depressants.
** "Chocolate Town" is an upbeat country song about a guy trying to buy drugs and then getting caught by police.



* MoodWhiplash: "Happy Colored Marbles" has a slow, somber start... and then after the 2nd chorus it goes insane.
** The opener is a speedy metal song, while the next song is a slow and somber one.
* {{Pastiche}}: The opening track "It's Gonna Be A Long Night" is a song in the style of [[{{Music/Motorhead}} Motorhead]].

to:

batshit insane. With a doom-metal like electric guitar and one of the Ween Bros. screaming in agony.
** The opener is a speedy metal song, while the next song is a slow and somber one.
neo-psychedelic jam.
