The Office is streaming exclusively on Peacock. 

it will sell out regardless, so thats not very good logic. This should be going into the hands of fans that want it at a fair price, not people looking to exploit the secondary market.
 
make it a pressing of 4000 and then make it limit 5, sure. but /400 with a limit 5 makes ZERO sense other than to support inflating an immediate secondary market. 

I remember how long SRC sat on copies of the original pressing of this...took soo long to sell, and that was a pressing of 1,000 I believe. Lobster miiiiight've overshot the pressing numbers on this. 

And the twelfth and final release is...

To be fair, 30% of her pandemic life has been signing CDs. It’s gonna get sloppy. 

You kept me like a secret but I kept you like an oath

"In 2006 Gabe Saporta launched Cobra Starship after a vision quest where a cobra from the future told him the world was going to end, and it needed Gabe to throw the party. In 2007 The Great Recession brought the world to its knees, but Cobra Starship was there to lift it up and get it rocking. After nine years of touring with everyone from Fall Out Boy to Justin Bieber, two Top 5 Hot 100 singles, three platinum records, and over 600M global streams, Gabe felt he had successfully completed his mission. Thus in 2015, he closed the book on Cobra Starship, retired to private life, and started making babies. But before retiring, Gabe Saporta went on a final vision quest wherein he was visited once more by the same inter-dimensional cobra who revealed that Gabe's mission was far from complete. The cobra foretold a not so distant future of high cultural and political division. The United States would be experiencing its first Pluto return, and it was unclear whether the once great nation would survive. The one thing that was clear however, was that the music of Cobra Starship would be needed once more. So in the final days of Cobra Starship, Gabe Saporta braved an experimental time travel device to bestow the Gabe Saporta of 2021 with two unreleased bangers. Although Cobra Starship has no plans of getting back together, Gabe was happy to uncover two unreleased records from the vault, and put them out into the world as part of the FBR 25 year-long celebration. These songs are featured bonus tracks on the Hot Mess vinyl reissue, and will also be available on DSP’s as a double A-side release titled Tracks to the Future. They were recorded between 2011-2013, and represent the wide stylistic spectrum Cobra Starship was known and loved for. “Beautiful Life” is an upbeat but melancholy record which sees Gabe at his most sentimental - reminding us that the hard times always pass, but the good memories will remain. “Party With You” gives us the dance floor igniting side of Cobra Starship in top form. Originally recorded during the making of Hot Mess, “Party With You,” is produced by Oligee (Justin Bieber, Britney Spears, Chromeo) and Cobra Starship’s own Ryland Blackinton, and draws upon the bloghaus and 80’s retro that influenced Cobra Starship, carrying a simple but profound message: If the world is ending, Cobra Starship wants to party with you. "

Cobra Starship's Hot Mess is the November release.

Im sure they’ll just send you the black pressing that’s coming out in February 

finally picked up a copy at my target... there were 8 copies and all but 2 were pretty beat up. I'm spinning it right now and it sounds pretty good... I'd say a little better than folklore and evermore

This album has just left me wanting "more."
The opening track is stellar and I thought it would really set the tone (or I guess "scene")  for the album... but the rest just seems be more bland in comparison. Especially following all her interviews I really thought she was going to dig deep into her emotions, but while some tracks certainly do, most just scratch at the surface. 
 
Also, I keep going back to the thinking of (and maybe this is why I'm hard on this album) how perfectly MisterWives's album SUPERBLOOM goes through the emotions of divorce/ending a relationship and set the bar super high for any albums with the same subject matter... and Star Crossed doesn't come anywhere close to it. 

So my Walmart copy arrived... I double checked my order to make sure there was only one in the order and there was certainly only one in the order but somehow this happened.

The Walmart exclusive looks to be the one for me!

I'll just add to those that never checked out their christmas album they put out in 2019.... it's SUPER good. I'm very picky when it comes to christmas/holiday music (holiday music was a big part of my growing up during the season so I don't take lightly to blah holiday albums) and this one absolutely blew me away.

Looks like some stores got signed vinyl. 

Where is the CD?
I'm dumb.

sorry about that @rrd! I fixed the link and it works now!

yet here we are on a regular basis bitching about 6 month pre-orders 🤣
