Format, The - Dog Problems - Milky Clear Color Vinyl
Before Nate Ruess became a household name with fun., he and guitarist Sam Means were crafting one of the most ambitiously beautiful indie pop records of the 2000s. Dog Problems, The Format's second and final album, is a cinematic rush of orchestral pop, power ballads, and confessional songwriting that proved the duo had far bigger ideas than the pop-punk scene could contain. Produced by Mike Elizondo — whose credits span Dr. Dre, Fiona Apple, and Carrie Underwood — the album blends lush string arrangements with driving guitars and Ruess's unmistakable vocal intensity across twelve tracks that swing from triumphant to heartbreaking without warning.
Highlights include the sprawling title track, the infectious "She Doesn't Get It," and the tender closer "A Save Situation." Now available on milky clear vinyl, Dog Problems sounds as vital today as the day it dropped.

Shipping
Orders typically ship within two business days. Media Mail might be budget-friendly, but it travels at a glacial pace and gets little love from the postal service. For faster, smoother delivery, choose USPS Priority or UPS/USPS Ground.
Returns
Unopened returns accepted within 30 days — you cover shipping.
If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.
After 30 days, it’s yours to keep forever.
Avoid extreme heat or sunlight. Definitely don’t let it mingle with any Justin Bieber records. Treat it like your grandma — gentle, respectful, and quiet during Murder, She Wrote.
