That's exactly what happened with mine :/

"Spiritual Cramp comes to the Bay Area in a time of need. San Francisco has always been a haven for artists, musicians, punks & freaks. But here, in 2017, these types have become more offhand than on–lesser, as if that side of our culture has been tucked in, put to sleep. But, no matter how much polish is applied, no matter how clean they try to make it, there will always be danger in the city. What we’ve learned from this big change is that existing in an affluent society can feel just as oppressive as living in a disadvantaged society, especially if one doesn’t fit certain criteria of the dominating class. Rock ‘n roll has always reflected disgruntled youth and its rockers often create sounds that are mimetic of their inner state–what is experienced in the day-to-day. For their first release, rightly named Mass Hysteria, Spiritual Cramp relates this state of unease in a seemingly at ease system. The sounds borrow from the past, echoes of late 70’s, early 80’s working class rock ‘n roll / punk, which function on the upbeat, showcasing very bright guitars, yet generating darker vocal rhythms, darker patterning. Punk music and its sensibilities are all exemplified here, just as much in the visual as in the beat. “Violence keeps me up at night,” Vocalist, Michael Bingham repeats. And later, “My friends are alright.” Much of their inspiration has stemmed from UK77, Reggae Music, DIY/ hardcore / punk culture and ethics. Most of all from artist friends in the Bay Area and simple objects we find in the streets: a broken TV, telephone wires, that seemingly unimbued message that’s written on the wall. These quieter, more subdued artifacts somehow seem to say a lot about our experience, but when taking on this music, there is an urgency that portrays life in the city, life as a punk, life as of now." Track Listing: 01. All My Friends Are Out Tonight (Alright) 02. Tenderloin 03. Wrecking Machine 04. The Ice Age Isn't Fucking Coming https://deathwishinc.com/products/spiritual-cramp-mass-hysteria

The deluxe will sell for less than cost eventually, bet

I get the feeling maybe there were some cancelled orders from the first wave and the first people to order from the second wave got those cancelled ones, that's just pure speculation though, or they could just be sending these out randomly

I was not very impressed by the new song, I'm gonna probably hold off on this but I do like the variants

Disappointing

Got a pink and purple splatter! This album has been growing on me a bunch and these songs live are even more powerful

Fuck How did I miss this again!

I was wondering when this was ever gonna come out. Better late than never

Nah but if these have been OOP for awhile I could believe it. I mean, I'm still probably gonna buy one so I guess I might have been wrong.

Fuck. I bet demand is not very high for these so I'll wait haha

I feel left out

It's a close call for me but this might be my AOTY... Slowdive might be actually be better but I definitely listened to this much more.

http://www.joyvoid.limitedrun.com/products/606950-joy-void-015-coma-cinema-loss-memory The limited variant already sold out, black is still available.

I think we are all way past that now..

So has anybody played this thing at different speeds yet or what?

https://imgur.com/a/fN1RR this makes the deluxe seem a lot cooler than all the other pictures other people posted.... I think I want one now...

I'm just guessing that the dried roses are from the flowers they put on their Mic stands during performances, but still super underwhelming. But on the Brightside I'm much less disappointed in missing out on getting one if these. I would have probably been more disappointed if I spent all that money on pretty much nothing

Stoked, I might just pick up the indie exclusive because I like the way it looks, but I'm tempted to buy them all

These are valid points to be brought up in any case of abuse but that hasn't stopped people to jumping to conclusions on people accused of such things. My post wasn't meant to offend anyone or to be negative. I just brought it up because I felt it hasn't been mentioned really as much as people saying the band sucks now that Nicole left and I thought maybe some people should be reminded of why she left since we were talking about the unpleasant departure of another member. But it also seems like you could say Nicole was kicked out for 'Mental Health issues because if I remember correctly she was posting a lot about it on social media all at the same time

https://consequenceofsound.net/2017/12/why-brand-new-and-others-didnt-make-the-year-end-cut/ I couldn't even finish reading this article. I guess this is music journalism now?

Wasn't Nicole kicked out for abusing Katie? And people still want to support Nicole and they want new OHYO music but this is too much for them? Jeeeeez

That's how all pressings of this record are as far as I know

That album cover is terrible, not like their other albums covers were much though

this is still up. I wonder why he wants his least desirable album to be easily available on vinyl, and yet Blonde is still OOP and Channel Orange still hasn't even gotten an official pressing. Maybe one day...
