I don't get the hate against bonus tracks. Some of them are good, some of them are dull or even plain bad. You don't have to listen to them, just stop the album at the end of it, if you don't want to.

Yeah it's because imports CDs are usually cheaper than CDs sold in Japan, so they add bonus tracks to persuade buyers to buy native.

don't beat yourself up, it was a good joke

In these threads, I really wish that anons who make extremely specific complaints would post the cover of the album in question instead of a reaction pic

Bonus tracks ranking:

>good
B-sides of the singles
EPs or singles of the same era

>ok
live versions
remixes

>ugh
demo versions
scraps from the same recording sessions
interactive/multimedia content (just add a bonus dvd if you have to)

some demo versions are better than the original. dont be a fag.

>>71748627
>some demo versions are better than the original

very few, actually.
I was generally speaking, obviously the argument may not be universally valid.
Like, there are bands that have great b-sides, while other ones have shitty b-sides, bands that have recorded live versions better than the studio versions, etc.
