ParallelofDeath Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I've been listening to Cave In since the Crossbearer 7" came out (yikes, getting old) and was fortunate to catch two of the December shows at Vitus. I'm really into the new song, tbh probably more than into any on Final Transmission. Should be a good record. I also can't wait to see those reissues. Very curious whether they will drop them all at once or stagger the releases. One of my greatest record-collecting regrets is not picking up Beyond Hypothermia on vinyl.

This keeps me up at night....and I'm really hoping for some decent variants. Solid colors would such a nice change of pace. Relapse is out of control!

Derek™ Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Relapse [almost] always drop new pre-orders between 7-8 AM PST on weekdays, and they've been super consistent about it. I really wouldn't scramble when this thread is bumped outside of that window, but do what you gotta' do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam10647 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Man am I glad I got that when I did. I saw them when they toured with Every Time I Die (RIP) and they were blowing them out 20 for the LP + a shirt I think and I got it signed by the whole band. Too bad Capital wont let them reissue it since they could make a few bucks off it rather then just letting it sit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugareggs Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Glad I snagged Antenna on orange from Hydrahead during one of their warehouse sales years ago for $25. Patiently waiting for a White Silence repress though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParallelofDeath Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I could never get into White Silence. Tbh when I first listened to it I thought there was something wrong with my copy haha. They also don't seem to play those songs live. But I'll have to give it another listen later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronchitis Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) I really like their first album and have never really listened to much besides that and Beyond Hypothermia. I try to get into Jupiter every few months but it still does nothing for me. Going to have to skip that one and see if I enjoy any after that. The Sacrifice Poles album is pretty good. Edit: skipped through a bit of White Silence and that stuff is pretty cool. Edited January 19, 2022 by Bronchitis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soak yourself in a deep, dark room and lie down comfortably in a chair before you immerse yourself in the grandness that is Jupiter! Hopefully that’d do it haha!

The way people talk about it makes me feel like I should love it. brandy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cautionthieves Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Listening to their catalogue from front to back is such an epic and interesting musical journey. Jupiter and Antenna are truly brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParallelofDeath Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Antenna is an interesting turning point in Cave In's discography. At the time it came out, it turned off a lot of old fans because the record was trying very hard to appeal to a wider audience. Because that's what you're supposed to do when you are on a major label. It was supposed to be Cave In's Glow On--they did a late show appearance, they played festivals, they released singles. But then when record sales didn't meet the label's expectations, they got dropped like a hot potato. (At that time, selling 100K units was considered a failure I guess. I remember that number being bandied about.) And it seemed like the band went through a phase of real disillusionment and took a while to recover artistically. Long story short, it was a disappointment. But here's the thing--Antenna really *is* a great record. Sure, there's a lot of streamlined verse-chorus-verse songwriting by old Cave In standards, but it also has a lot of great hooks. Joy Opposites and Youth Overrided alone make it worthwhile digging into this thing. I don't think that all of Cave In's discography is equally worth celebrating. Naturally there've been some relative duds. There are some songs on Antenna that I feel pretty lukewarm about. But I've definitely come around big time to Antenna as a whole and it's cool to see that this is very much a shared sentiment these days. danyc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long story short, it was a disappointment. So funny in retrospect that it was deemed a failure. Same thing happened when Poison The Well released You Come Before You on Atlantic. It's an incredible record and sold really well compared to the previous two.........yet Atlantic deemed it a failure and dropped them.

jhulud Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 It’s the eternal story of when alternative / underground bands get snapped up by the majors and don’t sell “enough” records. I recently watched this doc that takes a look at that very thing. Although it’s mostly focused on 90’s bands & some from early 2000’s, it’s crazy to see what a lot of them went through & got screwed over when on major labels. Highly recommend the doc.
