Bad Mood Rising

[///////]

I wonder if they will ever break out any of the other songs for a live performance sometime. I could be totally wrong but i feel like 'My Discomfort...' is the only one i could imagine them playing. Possibly 'Hammering' potentially i suppose too.

Man, they totally go to outer space with mister dog. It is shamanic. It's the good stuff that cures what ails you Or at least cures what ails me.

Just adding to this - same here, basically.
The last couple Shoxop purchases arrived in about two days, but this time I also haven't seen a notification yet.
I'm not super-concerned, given that they're generally pretty on top of things, and with a few of these releases back to back, I can see where they might be just a tad backed up. We'll see how it goes, I reckon.

Also, it looks like the factory edition is no longer available at Shoxop. Not sold out... just missing. Hope all is ok

i ordered a splatter factory on tuesday. Normally by now i would've already gotten a shipping confirmation but as of yet have not. I'll update the info in case it helps anyone on here.

Got my Shipping Label Created notice yesterday

Got to hear this recently and for sure the A-Side is the highlight, just nineteen minutes of THUD. This might be the best album to feature Steven to date and balances the heavy with the melodic quite nicely. I really dig it.

Oh great, so i take it this won't be available anywhere else? I have to get it from Shopox and pay a shipping cost? Unfortunately i have a feeling this is one Melvins album i won't be acquiring. Why can't it just be on Amazon like a normal Melvins CD?

Also, just noticed on the site that they said last year they will not be shipping to the UK for the foreseeable future due to Brexit tax issues. Is that still the case?

Got the factory splatter version in the mail today and listened thru. Pretty cool album. I like the direction they went w/ this. That said I think I'm done ordering AmRep vinyl. For $30, and 12 shipping, how about making the jacket w/ some decent stock cardboard which might prevent the album itself from slight warpage after being shrunkwrapped and shipped?

It's not bad enough to warrant a return, but annoying. I notice it while playing side B, more than A. Also I have my anti-skate dial set all the way up, and I still had to put a quarter on the label to get it not to jump. I have an excellent turntable w/ an Ortofon needle. So that's not the issue.

I was gonna order the CD too, but not for $15 plus shipping. Had I known the vinyl and packaging quality would have some issues, I would have just ordered the CD only.

Well, it's not the Melvins' fault the world economy sucks, but fuck Amazon dot com for all eternity. They're part of the reason things like this are a problem in the first place, by undercutting the costs of indie / mom + pop shops and putting a lot of them out of business. It all sucks, I know. I live in the US, and if that in itself wasn't enough of a problem, every time I buy a record from the UK, the shipping often ends up being as much as the record itself, if not more. Damned if I'm gonna let that stop me from buying records though just because the governments of the world give rich fuckers like Jeff Pezos insane tax breaks and whatnot.The world's always been a shitshow. That's why we have bands like Melvins in the first place, to let us blow off a little steam once in a while, eh?

There isn't any independent stores anywhere near where i live. Plus if there were, none would choose to order a single CD from overseas at the import costs for one customer. I don't get the whole Fuck Bezos thing. Sure no one likes Amazon or large corporations but if they stock what you want what's the problem?

I don't get the whole Fuck Bezos thing. Sure no one likes Amazon or large corporations but if they stock what you want what's the problem?

I think the whole Fuck Bezos thing comes from Amazon destroying the competition. Record stores can't compete with Amazon prices so the consumer 9 times out of 10 will go with the cheaper option, therefore further destroying record stores.

Before Napster and all that happened I remember in the late 90's here in Australia we had a big chain store start up and expand everywhere called JB Hi-Fi. Due to their behemoth like purchasing power they undercut all the local record stores by selling their CD's $10 cheaper than them. You could argue the record stores were already gouging us the consumer too much anyway $30 for CD's and $35-$40 for import CD's like John Zorn stuff.

But when JB Hi-Fi started up they didn't sell imports but all their standard CD's were $20 each and the record stores just couldn't compete with that and quickly started going out of business in my city Big Star Records, Verandah Music, Andromeda, Bank Street Records all these stores just disappeared almost overnight. Then only about a year or two after JB had cornered the CD market, Napster and downloads happened and destroyed it all anyway, which obviously would've happened regardless.

Now Amazon on a much bigger global scale has gobbled up not just the CD/Vinyl market but plenty of other markets too. My local JB Hi-Fi has not only stopped selling CD's/Vinyl but earlier this year got rid of all their DVD/Blu-ray/4K sections too and the local Sanity (much smaller version of JB) closed it's doors last month too. They couldn't compete with Amazon's prices either.
