ssslyboy 3,273 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 She took special care weaving the songs into the tracklist in the just the right places for the Deluxe, rather than just letting them be tacked onto the end of the album. I feel like that is very uncommon. Are there any other Deluxe editions of albums where the extra tracks were properly woven in like this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate the whole standard vs deluxe edition thing in music. YES!!! I actually like what Taylor has been doing where she will release the album for streaming first with only the standard edition then when the physical releases come out they are deluxe edition only and the deluxe edition also gets released onto streaming. I love how she does that ugh I ****ing love Taylor. 5 hours ago, Benji said: I’ve never understood how the three bonus tracks aren’t on the standard edition whilst Bad Kids and Highway Unicorn made the cut. Don't be making fun of Bad Kids like that. Also, Highway Unicorn would have been better if the song was shortened (like the BTWB or maybe a little longer than that).

Of course everything worked out fine and BTW is an extremely iconic album. But I think that it could turn into an instant classic at the time and be acclaimed if it had 10 tracks. Like a Thriller/Like a prayer type of album. And then when the tour started she could release a tour edition EP with the other tracks so they also could have their shining moment. I would separate it like this: BTW Standard Edition (May 23rd 2011) 01. Marry The Night 02. Born This Way 03. Judas 04. Hair 05. Scheisse 06. Bloody Mary 07. Heavy Metal Lover 08. Electric Chapel 09. You and I 10. The Edge Of Glory BTW Tour Edition EP 2012 (it would come with the standard edition like The Fame Monster) 01. Government Hooker 02. Black Jesus + Amen Fashion 03. Americano 04. Bad Kids 05. Fashion Of His Love 06. Highway Unicorn (Road To Love) 07. The Queen I guarantee you the standard edition would get an 85-90 on Metacritic. Now let me take my meds and go back to bed. Love this, honestly I think the album was too long, even tho it is great, I always get tired after listening to the first half (sorry) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterofFame 1,780 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 The standard edition of albums are the ones reviewed by critics and up for awards. So artists often take off tracks that don't quite fit the narrative or are weaker so they aren't criticized in reviews bringing down the album's acclaim. Anything goes for the deluxe edition. With BTW, those 3 songs didn't really fit the message of empowerment and equality as strong as other tracks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichAssPiss 4,752 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Because "deluxe versions" with bonus tracks were a popular sales strategy to upcharge fans at that time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlondeQueenOfGGD 25,454 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 When I first heard Fashion Of His Love my first thought was “#1”. It should’ve replaced Bad Kids or Highway Unicorn. The standard tracklist should be: 1. Marry The Night 2. Born This Way 3. Government Hooker 4. Judas 5. Fashion Of His Love 6. Hair 7. Scheiße 8. Bloody Mary 9. Black Jesus Amen Fashion 10. Heavy Metal Lover 11. Yoü And I 12. The Edge Of Glory Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember back in 2012, my iPod broke so I had to borrow my bf's. I went to listen to Born This Way and was literally shook when Bad Kids came right after Bloody Mary instead of Black Jesus + Amen Fashion wasn't BJ+AF Right after BTW?
