Vol. 122: Planes of Paper

I really enjoyed the experience. That said, I’m not convinced it was worth the $40 (inc tax & shipping) price tag. I’m torn between staying enrolled to discover a few more albums or putting that same money toward a record I already know I’ll love. The concept is fantastic, and I genuinely enjoy the excitement of not knowing what’s going to show up. My only reservation is the pricing. At around $40, it feels comparable to the cost of a highly anticipated mainstream release rather than a compilation of lesser-known underground indie artists. That makes it a little harder to justify, even though discovering new music is part of the appeal. That said, the record itself was beautifully done. The pressing quality, the jacket, and the overall presentation were all excellent and absolutely deserving of praise. It’s clear a lot of care went into the product.

The album and the art were very cool! Music on a turntable always sounds amazing.

There was some weird stuff on there. I liked some of the songs, but most of them were not my style.
