MtrCtyWx Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I’m sure the finished product is beautiful, but I won’t be able to fully appreciate it for a bit - my copy got punctured on the side and it actually bent one of the lps. Lenticular print escaped harm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iDealélan Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Great, ordered the /340 variant - received the /1500 variant. It’s Heavy Pendulum all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallowken78 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Relapse just tossed this in a box without any additional padding, pretty pathetic for what they charge for shipping. The box is obviously meant to be a collectible piece so it's a shame when it already arrives looking beat up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParallelofDeath Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Yeah my box also has a bit of a squished corner. Not bad enough to complain, but it's pretty annoying that they won't invest in better packaging materials for a $100 box set. hallowken78 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah I was a little surprised when I opened the box mailer and it had 0 padding in it. Got lucky and no dents or anything, but easily could have gotten fucked up.

Like just package it right, it's not that hard and takes like one extra second to throw some bubble wrap on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Look...maybe Relapse are cutting costs of packing materials to allocate those funds into upgrading/overhauling their webstore so it doesn't crap out next major drop. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, tape, Kyte30351 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was worried after I saw your post because I had the same issue with HP and was happy I got the /340 variant I ordered. Asking for the clear is a smart idea, hadn’t considered. They did manage to get me the right HP variant but it took a week of constant emails to 3 people, each with a different story (we have a replacement, we don’t have a replacement). This can’t just be my luck. I’ve ordered other records from Relapse with no issue. It’s ONLY happened with Cave In releases, and twice in a row now. Hopefully email support can help out, with a quickness this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParallelofDeath Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 When did they confirm anything about any specific future re-issues besides UYHS? If anyone remembers or could dig that up that would be great! I went back to their initial welcome-to-Relapse IG post for Cave In and it features a mosaic of 16 titles, which also included stuff like the Shapeshifter tape and the Sacrifice Poles album. All or many of those might be available digitally via Relapse now, but of course that doesn't mean there will be a physical release. If I was a betting man (which I'm not, so don't take my word for any of this), I would put my money on Jupiter and Perfect Pitch Black for the next reissues, because that would reflect the development of the sound after UYHS (albeit with a big fat glaring omission between those two). I also wouldn't be surprised to see a completely new release in the mix, even just an EP. Heavy Pendulum must have been recorded almost two years ago and it seems like they've been on a roll since then as a band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 When I saw them in Boston recently with Piebald they were fantastic. Probably drive up to Maryland to see them with Yob since it’s Pallbearer for Richmond. I feel like they’re on a “come back” right now. Reissuing their albums, along with still absolutely killing it live, and I’m 100% for it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 All I want is a reissue of antenna. The only record I don't have, can't justify $100+ for it as it's not a perfect album, but it as some absolute bangers Kyte30351 and Deathbyart 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad Heart Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 I wonder when we’re gonna start getting more of this reissues. I know Until Your Heart Stops was one of ‘many’ reissues they plan on doing. I’m just curious how long the gaps will be in between them, cause they have a lot to do. Especially with the demand for Jupiter through Perfect Pitch Black. Also, they killed it on Saturday. Well worth the drive up to Jersey and getting back at 5am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParallelofDeath Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Yeah that whole show on Saturday was off the hook. I actually met one guy who flew in from Belgium for the show and back home the next day. Worth it. When I last saw them with Yob they played almost only stuff from HP, which was totally cool, but it was nice to also hear some UYHS staples again. And they played Big Riff, right, or am I just imagining that? hallowken78 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
