Solid album, terrible production quality (replacement copy much better)
Edit: One day later, I received my new copy. In terms of production quality it's much, much better (see the final uploaded photo with pink label to compare). I'll have to verify the actual audio over the next week or so, but if the pressing is of similar quality to previous albums I'm looking forward to it.As for the album itself, I've listened to it about 7-8 times over my streaming service. At first, it didn't resonate too much with me. I can see why some folks think of it as "barely" The National. It was almost like they were covers of The National songs. But at the same time, I have to remind myself that this is a collaborative effort that involves a companion film. When both viewed and listened to in that context it really is a solid overall work. However, I do wonder if it should be considered the "true" 8th album in a context similar to how members Radiohead and other bands have their own tangents. Obviously the band says that it is the 8th, and it was the entire group that produced the effort (albeit with heavy outside influence given the film), but in the fan head canon that might play out differently. This is what happens with art. Occasionally it transcends the artists (whether they like it or not) and becomes something bigger. I suspect that's what's at play here. Either way, I'm pleased overall with the work and I appreciate the broader perspective.Original: I just received my long-awaited copy of the 'I Am Easy to Find' and after carefully removing each disc from its sleeve I'm sorry to say that they both had horrible scratches (clearly from rough insertion into sleeve) and fingerprints (clearly from mishandling). I've attached photos and I've ordered a replacement copy. This is ridiculous. It's sad that such a great album with an otherwise lovely overall design received such treatment. I'll update my review if subsequent copies aren't so indicative of rushed, lazy production hack jobs.
