Lemonade Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Re-released old albums, with "Bonus Tracks" at the end. I don't want bonus tracks when I'm buying old albums. I want to hear the album as it was originally intended, and end when it was designed to end, not have a couple of dodgy demos and a live track at the end. Wank. I always delete them before I put them on my iPod.Also, when a brand new album is released and it has two brand new bonus tracks at the end. Surely these are just album tracks? How are they a bonus?

So, if I buy the British version I get burned but if I get the Japanese version it has the yodelling J-pop remix that's actually better than the entire album?

Essentially punishing them for being a loyal fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially punishing them for being a loyal fan.There's the danger of recursion to consider as well. If the Greatest Hits album sells well because of the extra tracks then they too become hits. Then the next Greatest Hits album must also include the extra tracks from the first one PLUS new bonus tracks. Consider what this means if Sandi Thom releases a Greatest Hits album every two years. Eventually, infinite music due to the exponential function, and all of it the worst thing you've ever heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 I like it when rereleased albums come with a bonus disc with all these demos and b-sides on, so it doesn't taint the flow of the original recording, which is what the early Billy Bragg rereleases did. And you got about 15 bonus tracks of demo recordings and tracks that didn't make it on to that album from that recording session, so the bonus material is actually relevant, and not just pointless filler.Greatest Hits albums are very rarely Greatest Hits are they? They are just The Singles. Every single Single the band released, which I'm sure some of them, if not most, were not 'Hits'. Maybe just the ones people kinda know, and their couple of famous songs. It almost deems album tracks as inferior to these Hits, which most of the time isn't true at all. Fuck greatest hits. Bands should record 2 albums and then get a job. 3rd albums are rubbish. No one likes 3rd albums. If they do, they are lying.Take all your 3rd albums, and flush them down the shitter. They are crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsby Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Leggings. What's the point in leggings? If girls want to wear a short skirt or just a big cardie or jumper, why cover up the pins with leggings? I don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Easy Wishes Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 It's those girls that JUST wear leggings. I don't understand. Are they tights or are they trousers? If they're tights they surely are to wear a skirt or dress over the top? If they are trousers they should surely be a little bit more hard-wearing?And that's just the start...those leggings that are made to look like denim, but just super super tight?!Baffling.

Soda Jerk Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Let's not even try to understands the womens. Like, when they carry those things around, that are like wallets, but with a handle that goes over their shoulder, and everything is so neat and organised. Which is just mental. Anyone with BIG MAN BRAINS would stuff it all into pockets, disgrading organisation and efficiency. What gives with these strapped, carry-able pockets? Lunatics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scootray Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Having someone at work put you in a bad mood first thing in the morning.Them: "Moan, moan moan, blah, blah, blah"Me: "How do you expect me to tell my staff when I'm not here?"Them: "Oh, so you're in one of those bad moods are you?"Me: " I am now because you've started moaning at me"Them: "Oh well, I just won't speak to you"Maybe if you'd decided that before annoying me at 7am in the morning there wouldn;t be a problem. Fucker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
