Land Air Sea: Difference between revisions

Due to the by-now cemented lineup and refined material, [[Patrick Wilson]] considers ''Land Air Sea'' to be the band's "first true release" despite it being the third official Special Goodness album.  Earlier versions of the songs "[[Pay No Mind]]" and "[[Pardon Me (The Special Goodness)|Pardon Me]]" appeared on 1998's ''[[The Special Goodness (album)|The Special Goodness]]'' and "You Know I'd Like...", "[[Life Goes By]]" and "Whatever's Going On" were released on 2001's ''[[At Some Point, Birds And Flowers Became Interesting]]''.

Originally released in February 2003 by [[N.O.S. Recordings]], a remastered, remixed, and re-ordered edition of ''Land Air Sea'' was released on [[Epitaph Records]] on [[January 20]], [[2004]]. The original version had three different covers while the Epitaph version has just one.  The N.O.S. release featured more studio chatter and a hidden track that was little more than instrumental and vocal nonsense, whereas the Epitaph re-release trimmed the chatter and deleted the bonus track.

 

Several Weezer in-studio alumni worked on the album including mixer [[Joe Barresi]] (who previously mixed ''[[Pinkerton]]'' and engineered the [[SnS Demos]] and the Christmas EP ''[[The Christmas CD|Winter Weezerland]]'') and producer [[Chad Bamford]] who engineered ''[[Maladroit]]'' and received a co-producing credit for ''[[Make Believe]]''.  The album was also co-produced by the band.

"[[Life Goes By]]" was released as a single in conjunction with the first release, and "[[N.F.A.]]" with the second.  Videos were made for both songs, but a retail single was pressed only for "Life Goes By".
