This is a used copy of the best album ever recorded, Modest Mouse's This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About double LP from Up Records.  It's super rare and long out of print. There are light scratches on the vinyl. I don't remember them affecting play, but my turntable is broken, so I can't verify this. I will accept a return if you are unsatisfied. Cover has wear along the edges and corners, with a rough spot on the upper front right side. Inner sleeves are slightly warped due to humidity, but the records are fine. There is slight brownish discoloration as mentioned below.

Review from allmusic.com:

Expanding upon the themes of emotional and geographic isolation found in the band's previous work, This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About finds Modest Mouse mixing slow, brooding numbers such as "Custom Concern" and "Talking Shit About a Pretty Sunset" with thrashing guitar workouts like "Breakthrough" and "Head South." The general mood here is one of loneliness and desperation, eloquently expressed through both the lyrics and the rhythmic, sprawling instrumentation. "Dramamine," for instance, with its driving, mid-tempo beat and ricocheting guitar line, sums up the hopelessness of a doomed relationship, while the frantic "Head South" deals with the feeling of "being ashamed of your old space." The mandolin, slide guitar, and cello featured throughout the album give the songs a certain degree of depth that makes them stand out from average indie rock fare. In general, This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About is a fine album of guitar-based rock, and Modest Mouse distinguishes itself here with songs whose meanings are simultaneously universal and painfully personal.
