I created a Popular Culture section and moved the bit about an unassociated band doing a cover of one of the songs out of the main section since it doesn't seem like it belongs there. Also added a small fact in the popular culture section. |

quebec is the eighth album by Ween, released on August 5, 2003 on Sanctuary Records. It was the first album released after the band's contract with Elektra expired, and marked its return to independent labels.
The song "It's Gonna Be a Long Night" is featured in the video game Tony Hawk's Underground 2 and in the TV show The Shield. The music video for "Transdermal Celebration" was animated by well known Disney animator Adam Phillips.
Music critic Mark Prindle named quebec the best album of the 2000s in an interview on Fox News Channel's Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld.[4] Mojo named it the No. 39 best album of 2003.[5] "CMJ" named it the No. 8 best album of 2003.[6]
On August 11, 2011, Dean Ween quietly released a two-disc, MP3-only collection of songs, The Caesar Demos, named after the band's original working title for quebec—to friends on his Facebook page. In his comment, he stated the songs were all recorded between 2001 and 2003 while drummer Claude Coleman, Jr. was recovering from injuries sustained in a car accident, and that many of the tracks featured only himself and Gene. In addition to a handful of recordings that eventually made the album, the demos feature several alternate takes as well as a number of songs that have remained unreleased.[7][8]
The cover art on this album is a takeoff of the game Thorns from the 3M Paper Games Series.[9]
