I agree 100%...I waited for what seemed an eternity for my two LP copies to arrive...Fired everything up Friday evening and I have to say Paper Airplane is a kind of a rehash of what has come before...Alison is one of the finest talents on this planet and I love her music and her voice..I will forgive my initial dissapointment here because her body of music and magical live performances make up for it...I just surmised that the LP was a bit flat. I assume it was pressed from a digital master? Who knows?
"Paper Airplane"
Dear Alison,
I love you. Your body of work is what dreams are made of. I'm sorry to say that, while mere mortals, such as I, could ever dream of being able to obtain your level of perfection, I am feeling that PA is not up to your previous standards. While everyone's performance is excellent, the (magic) that we have come to expect, isn't there the way it was previously. The sonics, while they are very good, aren't up to the standards set by all of your previous works. Forgive me, I'm still a huge fan. My best.....
