Bad Mood Rising

[Stonergrunge]

From Facebook:

The Mars/HAZE XXL collaboration art that adorns this release of the newest full Melvin's LP 'Bad Mood Rising' ready for Sunday high noon central time. Releasing Blood Orange edition edition and sets. The other two editions will go online next Sunday. Factory edition vinyl & CDs with amazing Mackie art, hot on the heels of this version!

Woo! These are 😍

I still don't understand why this is solely going the AmRep route. A lot of fans are not going to be able to get their hands on this release. I hope this will not become the new norm for the band with their albums. Also, going by the description, is there no digital release of the record?

there's going to be a factory edition, as well as a cd.

Everything's sold out, no surprise.

Do you guys think the "factory edition" vinyl and CD versions will only be available via Shopox?? It seems unlikely right? I'm asking that because i'm hoping to be able to get one on Amazon or something. Also im wondering how long this will be "in print" for. I can't see an AmRep release being around for as long as Ipecac ones are. The whole set up for this bewilders me.

Yes it's the same skull design. It's this!

Well it's Haze and Chris Mars but i generally agree. I do think it's better than many Haze covers, but still i much prefer Mackie's work. Each to their own of course, but for me the colour schemes he uses never gel very well in the final image. He's obviously skilled as a print-maker and drawer but his work does tend to have something of an "incomplete" feel to it.

The back with the skull is cool. It's a skull so that's just a given, duh!

Similar to this.

I know it doesn't matter. It REALLY doesn't, but i can't help but keep wondering which is the correct title.

Good Night Sweetheart
Good Night Sweet Heart
Goodnight Sweet Heart
Goodnight Sweetheart

After seeing two slightly different song titles i can't decide if it's...

Mister Dog Is Totally Right

or

Mr. Dog Is Totally Right


The Haze one is the former and the Mackie one appears to be the latter. Such things are utterly inconsequential for most folk but for me it's highly infuriating! I like clarity and uniformity.

Or they canceled the deal with ipecac... buzz proofs being the smart business guy... ipecac already proved several times they are too dumb to make vinyl without any fault.
And amrep proofed they are smart enough to also produce cheapy cds and factory editions. So if I were melvins.... easy decision.

That wouldn't be a smart decision if you take the worldwide distribution aspect into account.

Ipecac is one of the best labels ever.  There would be no reason to leave unless they got a deal they just couldn't refuse.
