I'm sure that I am not the only one who is fed up with the constant release of albums that either come with bonus tracks - i.e. songs that weren't good enough to go on the album - or in several different formats. For instance, The Twilight Sad album and the new Ryan Adams album both have bonus tracks on them, which I feel is rather pointless as they're new albums. The most ridiculous example I have seen recently is that the new Smashing Pumpkins album is coming out in FOUR versions. I for one will be buying the one, and downloading the bonus tracks via the internet. It truely is a sickening example of trying to fleece diehard fans.
