Do you like/hate albums' deluxe and special editions?

[Ryusei 59,929]

Yeah I hate getting more songs that are potentially better than the ones on the regular. And a lot of people still put 2 different versions on streaming..

I think the only purpose for a deluxe album should be if artists want to share alternative versions/demos of songs on the standard or even new songs that weren’t finished in time for the “real” standard album.

Florence did this

and it makes a lot more sense than shoving finished songs on a deluxe (why couldn’t they be in the standard?). In other words: Standard should be for finished songs, deluxe for demos/live versions/remixes etc. 

Which Witch needed to be finished 

what I hate is that I can’t listen to the Target Exclusives in full quality, we deserve them:

As someone who likes collecting music and different editions of albums that I love, I love when artists release deluxe versions of albums.

But when it's the same exact album, same artwork, same tracklist, with like one or two remixes added as a "deluxe" version, that's kinda annoying

Long live Gaga for TFM with 8 new songs and Angèle for Brol La Suite with 6 new songs and an orchestral version of a previous song

I don't like when artists re-release albums with only remixes of radio edits I don't mind a few more songs
