N8TRU Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) https://bsmrocks.com/collections/home-page/products/the-casket-lottery-short-songs-for-end-times Expected to ship late November New song "Born Lonely" @ https://www.brooklynvegan.com/the-casket-lottery-prep-first-album-in-8-years-short-songs-for-end-times-stream-a-track/ Most bands don’t age gracefully. After a decade or two, many lose their urgency, their momentum, their emotional range. If the songwriting doesn’t suffer, then the album’s production or aesthetic might seem insufficient, or even the artist’s integrity. Sadly, some bands never reignite that which made them special. The opposite is true of The Casket Lottery, whose newest full-length Short Songs for End Times showcases a band at their best—their tightest, toughest, most intense—and more than twenty years after their first release. Available on exclusive transparent blue/purple half and half vinyl, numbers are super limited, so if you want one of these from this seminally influential band, grab one now before they are all gone!

dantheriver Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 http://wiretaprecords.limitedrun.com/products/677813-the-casket-lottery-short-songs-for-end-times-12-lp 150 - Color in Color (Dark Pink with Neon Magenta) - Wiretap Variant 150 - Half and Half - Big Scary Monsters Variant 110 - Cloudy - Band Variant 110 - 2 color side A, side B - Band Variant 150 - Black vinyl (Retail Variant) weird variant choices so far. Maybe the two band variants will make more sense. N8TRU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelansegur Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Thanks for the hint. Ordered the Transparent Blue/Purple Half/Half from BSM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathPeak Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Hoping for something that compliments the cover more from the other two variants. This rules though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
versusexcalibur Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 New song is great. I'll try and get a band copy on friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWindBlower Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 New single is cool. Might PO this one. I still need to pick up the represses of their back catalogue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabukweli Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) Ooh la la. I was beyond disappointed with Real Fear, but this is TASTY. I’m going to have to hear a couple more before I trust enough to buy the whole album, but this is a wonderful start. Also, am I not recognizing some sort of slimmed down, cleaned up appearance or is Junior no longer pounding the skins for them? That’s a huge loss if so.

DeathPeak Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Went with Raspberry even though color wise, the clear/cream goes better. Wasn't into the splatter though. I prefer the cloudy look more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smailtronic Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Really digging that new song. I grabbed a copy from Wiretap, along with one of their 5 for $30 mystery boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only seeing the notice for the digital download (“Your music will arrive on Nov. 6”). I think vinyl won’t ship till mid December, but I hope you’re right!

Alan P Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I went down a Casket Lottery rabbit hole last night, and that reminded me to order this. I'd like to order from Merch Central, but the only shipping option I am getting is $10.45 Priority Mail. In their FAQs it lists Media Mail, but I can't get it to display as an option during checkout. Anyone had any luck there? I am digging these two new songs, and I also need to go back and pick up some of their older work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the splatter, but might come down to cost. I was also planning to get the Casket Lottery/Touché Amoré split 7" from Merch Central (had never heard those songs until last night; good stuff!).

jrodan Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 listened once so far, and it is very ok. not bad, not great. doubt i will listen to it much when there are 3 great albums of theirs to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan P Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 First of all, damn--I love this record. Downloaded the MP3s yesterday and I had a bunch of time in the car today and already listened all the way through twice. The rhythm section is especially kick-ass. Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised--exceeded my expectations. Secondly, had a great customer service experience with Merch Central over the last week. I first reached out about the lack of Media Mail, and after half a dozen email exchanges with two people in their customer service, they remedied the issue. First, they told me if I place the order with Priority Mail, they would refund the difference to my PayPal--which they did! And I haven't checked this yet, but apparently they corrected the Media Mail problem with their entire website. So I placed the order for this LP ($25), the Touché Amoré split 7" ($6), and paid $10 for Priority, but then was refunded $5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeathPeak Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I was going to wait for the vinyl to come in, but I decided to listen and damn, I really like it. "Born Lonely," which I already liked, is probably my least favorite on the album. Alan P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan P Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I just got my shipping notification from Merch Central--I can't wait to see this, hold it, and spin it. Wound up as one of my top 10 albums of 2020. iDealélan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
