Metal Pet Peeves

[mickO)))]

Not exclusively a metal thing but metal distros is where I see this the most. Online stores that won't remove sold out stock. Nothing more annoying than having to scroll through 20 or 30 pages of records with half of them not even being available. The Spindizzy site is a perfect example. I am sure it's some sort of shitty sales tactic to attract people to the site hoping that when they see what they wanted was sold out they will keep browsing and buy something else.

Add to that stores that have a few hundred items in stock but the maximum amount of items you can see per page is 20 meaning it takes forever to get through it all.

Spindizzy is the only time I think I've encountered it. Pain in the hole alright.

Yes and yes, two major headwrecks both of which seem totally unnecessary.

I think the stock thing is a Shopify issue

I think it's the platform they're using for the site that causes that where stock on hand against sales doesn't sync until the end of day.

It's a pain in the balls at times.

[Eoin McLove]

It's a complete fucking brain melt.

[Thorn]

The best format is the ones where you can click on the letter of the alphabet, which zones you in instantly. Having to click forward every three pages to get to  bands that begin with N is well...brain melting indeed

I have come across the issue on a load of sites to varying degrees like Osmose for example you won't see sold out products while browsing through the site but if you search for XX LP on Google a result will come up for Osmose having it then when you click into the link it is out of stock.

Crypt of the Wizard is another one similar to Spin Dizzy that half of his listings are sold out.

A local record shop nearly me got the Celtic Frost - Danse Macabre LP Boxset and split it up and is selling every item individually which annoyed me more than it should.

The fucking cheek.That boxset is class.

When bands don't give songs individual names eg. most of Mgla's discography, the new Opeth.

I would Love If All Bands Would Just Do Album Title And Tracks 1 , 2 , 3 Etc . It Would Make Life Easier.

[Thorn]

I've always preferred tracks that actually use the title in the lyrics somewhere even if it's not the chorus. As I get older it's becoming even more of an issue remembering which song is which. Maybe you're right, 1,2,3...is the way to go, hell I'm there already for the most part, particularly with Black Metal albums.

[Maggot Colony]

I think it's fine provided bands use Roman numerals as they're metal as fuck.

I JUST WANT TO LISTEN TO A BAND!
