My only gripe with it is how tightly the records are packed into the paper sleeves. There is no plastic lining inside and you're guaranteed to get scratches across the disc the first time you pull it out. Either don't spare money on plastic inner sleeve or at least make them a little more spacious.

While I loathe comparing bands against each other, it seems almost necessary to establish a comparative point from which to discuss La Dispute.If you're a fan of the band Thursday, especially their earlier material with more emphasis on beat-poetry styled breakdowns and social-commentary lyrics, La Dispute is a band likely to impress you.A quick word of caution, some people find fault with the style of the Lead Singer (I consider his performance indicative of pronounced emotion, but I've heard it described as "rap-crying"). If "classically-trained singer" is a requirement or even preference for your musical tastes, La Dispute may not be the band for you.However, if you have grown tired of the overused cliche's attached with the 'angst' associated with unrequited teenage love so familiar in the genre of Post-Hardcore/Screamo, La Dispute's lyrics offer a fresh insight into the human condition.I recommend listening to the following tracks before making your purchase:Track 2 - Harder HarmoniesTrack 4 - Edit your HometownTrack 7 - The Most Beautiful Bitter FruitTrack 10 - Edward Benz, 27 TimesIf you are still unsure, tracks 9 and 11 are great also.

Purchased mine from newbury_comics and as I was with my purchase of Somewhere... from them, I am very pleased. Sleeve and records are perfect. The records are a translucent purple, but under certain lighting they might appear a bit red. It came with a lyric book which I was surprised to see, but if it's your first time listening and you're wanting to have lyrics to follow along then I'd suggest searching them online as a lot of the lyrics in the accompanied book appear handwritten and might be a bit difficult to read for someone that isn't already familiar with the lyrics. La Dispute is my favorite band and this is my favorite album of theirs, so I couldn't recommend giving it a listen enough. However, like others have suggested, you may want to stream it prior to buying as it isn't for everyone.

This is an amazing album. The music itself gets 5 stars, however I'm a little angry about the packaging/delivery. Most of the time these vinyl records come in a cardboard box safely secured inside. This album, however, had no box, no second sleeve, or anything. It was the actual sleeve with just the normal plastic wrap around it. Because there was no cardboard box, the shipping label had to be stuck onto the bare plastic, making removal of the plastic mandatory. As any collector would know, you really want to keep the wrapping on the album. On top of that, (this is kind of my problem) my delivery guy left this, and another record I ordered with it, out in the middle of my hot driveway! Now both records are slightly warped from the heat and this one must've been dropped because one corner of the sleeve is crushed.

Frankly the best album I have ever listened to in my entire life. This album was so good that I am actually writing an Amazon review. Mind you, I have never written one before in my life. Listen to this album with lyrics at hand. It comes with a little lyric book. This album both changed and saved my life. If I could, I'd give it 10 stars.

With a sound that is probably not for everyone, La Dispute successfully conveys emotions I have rarely felt while listening to music.I would definitely look this album up on youtube before buying it.

It's like at the drive in, but only with the power of God and better lyrics (and music). I haven't heard anything, probably since my first Melvins album as a weeee cub in 2001 that has stirred something in me like this album. I cannot say enough good, so I will just stop here.

La Dispute is one of my favorite bands. Their lyrics are beautiful and their music is great. My favorite album by them.

La Dispute are one of my all time favourite bands, mainly for the depth and beauty of their lyrics. I admit, I had this album before I bought the cd, but decided to buy the physical copy because I wanted to have it and hold it. So worth it. The album is a concept album, and the case and lyric booklet are as much of a work of art as the music itself. If you like this band, or want to try out a band unlike any other, don't hesitate in buying the dc. fully recommend.

This album is amazing, i can't beleive it's taken me this long to find these guys! Got hold of the CD and was then luckily enough to see them play live at Download this year which was pretty incredible. Beautiful melodies, emotional lyrics that really make you think deep,totally underated band altogether.

I respect this band and their music. I'm proud to have found them in the sea of noise.

Very quick very happy 5*****

Esperaba algo más del disco. Creo que estresa un poco las estrofas del cantante. Son canciones digamos "pesadas" en el sentido lírico. En la parte instrumental son realmente buenos.
