My Question or Issue

I was looking for a particular Fear Factory album (2004's Archetype) this evening and was baffled to find that it wasn't in their discogrophy. I eventually found it via another member's playlist. I was stoked until I went to listen to it and couldn't. It wasn't like the tracks were greyed out, quite the opposite actually (I've provided screenshots). Could've I mistakenly done something to block it?. I'm not mad or anything, just a bit bummed and curious as to why it appears to function but doesn't. Hoping there's an answer out there.

Hi there @ThodinThorsson,

Thanks for the post and Welcome to the Community!

I checked our catalogue and it looks like Fear Factory's Archetype is currently not available for streaming in the US. This is most likely due to licensing issues. Even though it's not available right now, content like this usually gets reuploaded to the platform.

You can read more about this here.

Hope this info clears things up.
