''Land Air Sea'' was initially released on N.O.S. Recordings in [[2003]] and later remastered and reissued on [[Epitaph Records]] in [[2004]]. 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 release under the Special Goodness name. "[[Pay No Mind]]" and "[[Pardon Me (The Special Goodness)|Pardon Me]]" originally appeared on ''[[The Special Goodness (album)|The Special Goodness]]'' in [[1998]], with "[[You Know I'd Like...]]", "[[Life Goes By]]", and "[[Whatever's Going On]]" originally appearing on ''[[At Some Point, Birds And Flowers Became Interesting]]'' in [[2001]].

''Land Air Sea'' was originally released on [[March 4]], [[2003]] on N.O.S. Recordings. The original N.O.S. version was released with three different cover artworks, officially titled the "Skyline", "Farmland", and "City Lights" variants.<ref>''The Special Goodness: Online Store'', archived from cinderblock.biz. https://web.archive.org/web/20040606060751/http://www.cinderblock.biz/wc.dll?WebStore~rCatalog~tsg</ref> Due to this, the original N.O.S. release has no true single cover art. A reissued edition of ''Land Air Sea'' was released on [[Epitaph Records]] on [[January 20]], [[2004]].<ref name="collectorsdiscog" /> This version featured a new track order, remixed and remastered songs, and the omission of the untitled hidden track included in the first release.

On [[July 15]], [[2022]], after being hinted by [[Karl Koch]] earlier in the year,<ref>Koch, Karl. [[Weezerpedia Discord Q&A with Karl Koch - April 2022]]</ref><ref>Koch, Karl. [[Weezerpedia Discord Q&A with Karl Koch - June 2022]]</ref> a 12"-vinyl version of the album was released through the label Hello Records. It was pressed on red vinyl and limited to only 1000 copies, with slightly altered cover art and a unique sleeve. Alongside the release was a pre-order for a new Special Goodness t-shirt design, as well as a 4-part podcast mini-series titled ''[[The Special Podness]]'' hosted by Koch, Wilson, and [[Atom Willard]].

"[[Life Goes By]]" was released as a single in conjunction with the original N.O.S. release, while "[[N.F.A.]]" was released as a single in conjunction with the Epitaph reissue. Music videos were created for both songs, with only "[[Life Goes By]]" receiving a proper retail CD single.
