Terrible manufacturing, terrible handling by Amazon

Terrible manufacturing, terrible handling by Amazon
I LOVE this album, and to be honest, this recording is fantastic. Lots of intricacies heard here, that I can't even hear through my lossless streaming devices. It's also supposed to be a 180 gram piece of vinyl, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was 280 grams, given how ridiculously thick it is. I have over 1,000 albums, and I've never seen anything even close. When addressing the issues, it's got to start with Amazon. The first time I ordered it, they sent me a rug instead. Yes, a rug... second time I ordered it, the box was crushed in shipping, leaving the cover creased and the album damaged. I wanted to keep it, because of how unique the thickness of the album was, but it had visible manufacturers marks, causing the first song on side B to skip. So I ended up ordering it a third time, and it arrived in great condition. After a good once over, it passed the eye test. I put it on my turntable, and the fantastic recording shined through once again. Flipped it over to side B and...... it skips at the exact same place the last one did. ....SMH.... No visible damage from manufacturing, but it's obvious that some part of the manufacturers process has caused side B to have skips on the first song...... I give up, I'm done playing this "hope I get a good copy" game, and I'm just going to live with this one, assuming they don't get any better. Buyer be warned, and definitely don't buy a used copy, as you might end up with the crappy one I returned.... or better yet, the rug I returned....

5.0 out of 5 stars 90s indie classic with nice packaging.
Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2017
Verified Purchase
One of those iconic indie records from the 90s that just gets better with age for the most part. I love the packaging on this one so much more than the normal record. It comes in a very handsome slipcase with quality booklet and 2 CDs, one with the live album.

Something About Airplanes is an old record at this point, but it's still one of their better works for sure. Everyone has a favorite here and there, but it's pretty hard to deny that the better songs on this record are not iconic of the genre and time period. The album definitely starts out strong out of the gate and then tapers off toward the end, but that is about how the energy should be on a dramatic record like this IMO. I don't really have anything bad to say about this. The dynamic range is the same as the old CD at DR10, which is very good for a record these days. It doesn't look like they touched it, and you really didn't have to. It still sounds great in the SQ department. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm a fan, don't read my review
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2008

Seriously, I like the band, I bought the CD, I like the CD. What do you expect?

Now, it'd be REALLY telling, if I like the band and hate the CD. That'd be positively bad for them. "What are you trying to do, lose fans?" -- but this is not the case, I like this CD. :) If I didn't know I already own it, I'd buy it again. (He's a good reason to buy physical CDs, if your memory sucks, you may need a physical reminder.)

OK, now the bad news: Even though I'm a fan and I like the CD, if you played a random collection of DCfC songs and I was supposed to guess which CD it was from. NOPE. sorry. :(
-r
(That's bad news, because if this were somehow a really stand-out CD, I'd recognize all the tracks as belonging to this CD. I can totally do that with some, though not many, artists. I'm not going to mention them, because that seems highly inappropriate. If you're interested, and I don't see why you would be, you can read my other reviews.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Champagne From A Paper Cup
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2008

For everyone that has just started liking Death Cab in the last couple of years this will be a little different than what you're used to from Death Cab, but you'll learn to love it. This was from a time when Death Cab was a little darker, little more depressed. But Ben Gibbard's writing skills and the bands detail oriented talent shine through. Champagne From A Paper Cup is one of my favorite tracks. The first lyrics start out with a guy so fed up with the girl he's with "I think I'm finally drunk enough to drive you home now, got my mouth locked shut." It's a fun and beautiful album, don't focus on the dark side, focus on the details. Enjoy

4.0 out of 5 stars It grows; give it time.
Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2011
I did not start with this album. I started with Plans, which may be enough reason for a "die-hard fan" not to read this. The truth is, I like this album. I like it better than Plans. It's not my favorite Death Cab for Cutie album, though. My two favorites are We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes and Narrow Stairs. One of my biggest issues with this disc is the fact that the lyrics are almost impossible to understand, which is a shame, because the lyrics are great. Truthfully, some parts of this album are boring; some tracks are too slow. I understand the whole "low-fi" thing and I can appreciate it, but some tracks, such as "Your Bruise" and "Line of Best Fit", are hard for me to get through. It's a great album for laying in bed, but the music doesn't energize or motivate you.
But, like I said, it grows on you. I've come to appreciate most of the songs on the album, most of which I hated at first listen. My favorite track is "President of What?". I especially like the organ part.
If you don't have a fully-formed opinion on Death Cab for Cutie, put this album off until you do. It's not really that you need an acquired taste to enjoy this album, just a learned one.
