on the booklet topic (kind of) i was thinking she didn't put much effort in the physical versions of the album because she's holding out hope for the film to come to fruition next year. then the booklet would have stills from the movie like k-12s and the deluxe tracks would also be featured on the cds and vinyls. personally id want it to get get reissued with more songs (fingers crossed) and be renamed ALL THE PORTALS

mine FINALLY arrived today  i have to echo what others said about the flimsy 3 page booklet  but at least mine didn't have any scratches 

Does anyone have the exact date of when Melanie posted the video of her singing along to Faerie Soirée on Instagram? Fairly certain it was in January 2021 but I just wanna make sure.

You don't belong here, fucking up my fresh air
I was on my hands and knees, you were in a lawn chair
Pissing on the soil that you spoiled, I was loyal to a coward
You were just a thorn on my flower
You checked out, I was putting in the hours
 
what was she thinking of releasing Moon Cycle as a whole

maybe Oliver Tree has a piss kink 

I like FS I can’t decide if the demo or final are my favs but Moon Cycle demo steps on final version hard. I hate the fact she removed the  punch bass like what was she thinking ?

i really liked the final until i listened to the demo version again for the first time in like 6 years and i was so sad

ya know i do love this record but why does she mention piss so much lmfao

Faerie Soirée really turned into her most lifeless song ever 

sadly the new playdate instrumental we got is the same one from 2020 with missing fx, just a lossless version of it i dont think the real playdate instrumental master even exists considering even mels backing tracks on tours have been a broken version as well

They're going to release it slowly so they can steal more of our money, cheap tricks 

Yeah there's no way this is all of the merch. The last two albums had an insane amount of merch. I mean, most of it wasn't very good, but still. I think staggering the merch releases brings in more sales than if they did it all at once.  

yeah I have to agree. The earlier box sets were so much better. I wish I loved this era's. I don't find them particulary ugly, just not cute enough for me to want it idk

i cancelled my order too and placed a new one

Good! I had the fear of this merch being dropped there and I’d just have to do without.. wouldn’t dare order from there again following the UV merch saga I had to ask my bank to refund!

nothing's getting cancelled, but people who bought the merch later than others might get it a few weeks to months late

i'm sorry but those box sets are kind of ugly? like... a hoodie with a bad selfie on it? for $90? you're wanting to sell me a cd box set with a $14 cd in it and $76 hoodie and cardboard box? girl.... i know inflation has hit us all but damn 

Got the lighter but I think everything else is mediocre. I feel the jacket would look better if the patches looked more worn in. 
 
They need to release the box set already. I missed out on ultraviolence, I will NOT let that happen this time around 

Normally a few weeks after initial preorder 

I got an email from her French store announcing the merch but there was no lighter/necklace ofc, so I’m assuming they won’t be available on European stores? 
 
I have a feeling that something happened/they had problems with the merch. Why would the NL store send an email with the accessories (and the purple t-shirt) when it was only US/UK/CAN exclusive? And why would they drop it so randomly instead of when A&W got released? 
 
I do think that we might have another drop later in March (like she did with the picture disc/signed bundles for COCC) but idk this era is weird…

In the past, when has she dropped signed stuff in relation to the album release date? 

Her team when they release the "boob cover vinyl" after the album comes out to sell even more copies, after selling lighters to people who don't even smoke
 

They fixed the negative inventory, 780 lighters remaining, around 200 for each necklace size and around 100 for each jacket size.

it has but its being consistently restocked

how is it possible that nothing has sold out yet
