Bonus Tracks Ruin Albums.
It's true.
When you have a good well rounded album that sounds that fits well there tends to be a classic 'closer'.
Yet the record companies try throwing "eXtra" tracks on the end, which tend to be remix's or live versions of songs, that just ruin the flow of the album.
Yeah, at first you won't care as it's just extra songs and you may even buy the album for those songs-but you will get to the point where you want to listen to the album as a whole, not with the cling-ons at the end.
Notable reference- Turn on the bright lights. Pointless 1minutes interlude that fades in and out after Lief Erikson that devalues it. Suppose with ipods and playlists this rant is a bit pointless as you can just chop and change, but i just had the noise of another track after that final closer. Anyone else agree or am i just being a dick?
