Individual songs here and there, but I do not celebrate the entire catalog. I mean, that's the point of this thread.

I know too much about this album and Rick in general because of that dumb Endpoint 7" Or, I'm dumb for reading all of those liner notes?

Can we at least pretend we're not asking and answering the same questions over and over again, as part of the Dagboard Social Contract?
Besides, I like the Promising Ring debut a lot more now.

I knew that this would probably make some folks scratch their heads. Truth be told, I like all of them to one degree or another, but have just spent far more time with the last few albums and prefer those (esp. The Rising Tide); not a popular opinion, I know, but I will still maintain that The Rising Tide is one of the most ridiculously underrated records ever.

I've heard that Dis Plan album talked up over the years, but can't remember if I've ever heard it.
Years back, I think around the time of that album, a group of friends invited me to a Death Cab concert. They were genuinely great live and blew the studio recordings out of the water. Never been much of a fan of their recorded material TBH, but some of it is decent.
RE: Joni, that one may be the one that gets all the attention and hype, but I wouldn't even say it's her best album.

Joni - see my other post in this thread where I responded to scannest, but I also have to agree completely with you here. Her real best album IMO is Court and Spark. It's not even really close, though I love the follow-ups, too, especially The Hissing of Summer Lawns. "Edith and The Kingpin" is my favorite Joni tune.

Besides, I listened to a 24/192 hi-res download of BLUE today, via my Dragonfly Cobalt DAC and Shure IEM's. I doubt that $100 pressing is going to sound any better.

Prices on old vinyl copies of Blue have skyrocketed unlike some other Joni albums. My vinyl copy is the version Hoffman & Gray mastered back in the mid-2000s, and it's considered definitive by many people. It used to sell for around $30. Now it's more like $100 for a nice copy if you can find one. Prices on a lot of records are just very skewed now.
However, I would suggest that the inexpensive 2000s CD version is also very good and a much cheaper alternative. Dunno about any hi-rez download for this album. It's very much a case by case basis on those. I typically never buy hi-rez anything unless it has specific content or mastering I cannot get elsewhere for less money.

I didn't buy it - I downloaded it onto my phone via Qobuz.

If you can find a copy for $30-40, it's well worth getting if you like the album. It's got a thick gatefold cover and comes in a loose plastic bag. Worth grabbing if you see it in a shop or something. Some shop might have it, but it's technically OOP now. It's going to sound very different from an old 70s pressing. Number one, 70s U.S. vinyl was often noisy and mediocre quality. Not all the time, but often. Number two the album has been EQ'd a bit differently to make it shine. Just sayin'.
