    It’s interesting. My CD is still there, and the tracks I ripped to my computer are still there, it must be a Spotify problem

      Same I just use spotify to find and browse for other artists and songs.

      In the 2010s I used to do youtube to MP3. But the youtube recommendations have been dog shit. So I use spotify to look for the obscure different music.

      And as a result, people will find that album someplace that doesn’t cost any money.

      Very strange for a label to pull an album like that. I wonder if there’s something special about the IP rights for this particular album, since the rest appear to be staying up.

        It’s also unavailable on Deezer. I checked the other albums and their first album is also unavailable except the songs War and Suite-Pee.

          It’s the 2nd May here in Australia and I have all albums of SOAD available on Deezer (going through a little SOAD phase right now… So fkn good!)

            Yes. I can confirm all tracks are back on Deezer. Nice!

              Ohh shit, it just clicked. I tried to listen to “most played” yesterday and there were no self-titled or Toxicity tracks. I thought it was for a different reason (my own most listened at that time) I didn’t look at albums. I see now they were plainly unavailable. Hot damn.

    It’s streaming on Pandora. I suspect the issue has more to do with Spotify than Spotify lets on in this press release

    If you download symphony on your phone and put the mp3 there no one will remove it but you. Music streaming is designed to rob us of ownership. Though it is dope to find new tracks with.

    Oh no! Streaming being an awful mess? There are solutions for that :)

      I only stream so that I can find new music. I’m not savy to find out other means. I have the album copied personally I just thought it was weird it was off a streaming platform

        Yeah I get that, I’ve been there. Its quite comfortable to use Spotify to get recommendations based on your played music. But there has been a solution before Spotify has been a thing: Scrobbling (as popularised by Last.fm) your Music.

        Be it via last.fm and plugins to your music player or a different service like Listenbrainz all together.

        I concede though that this process is a bit more involved.

        And yes I agree with you, it’s weird.

    I’d advise to pirate and selfhost, spotify barely pays the artists any money anyway

    Glad I switched to selfhosted Jellyfin for music. It not the only album that was removed through my 5 year of using spotify. Pain in the ass to download everything but worth it.

    some bands are re-releaseing remastered albums, could be in transition
