Self-released on CD, in what appears to be a limited edition, because it's already not available new, on his website or elsewhere, and used copies go for a fortune. Definitely not going to put up an alert for this at this grade and prices. Docked a notch for bloat. I note that Christgau gave this what I would call a 9.5 (high A). And I note that Hull gives this an A-, but it is his number seven album of the year, so it would be at least an 8.5 (high A-), or even maybe he should upgrade to 9 (A)? Update (October 2025): Upgraded to 8 (A-), still docked a notch for bloat. If it weren't for that, I might have to physicalize it. There are some big names on this (Death Cab for Cutie, Randy Newman (!), Nicki Minaj, etc).
