If you're wanting to listen to albums from the 80s, and you see the remix remaster bonus trax edition, remember that there was only like 40 minutes of music on an album, and they chose the good tracks to fit on them. Even decent tracks are a poor fit to the rest of the album, as they decided 40 years ago when they released the thing in the first place.
It's ALL musical shovelware, and even in my favorite bands, I hate it.
Murmur ends with "West of the Fields", people.
@jacobydave Let's throw on a couple mediocre live renditions of the hit singles, and a early, rough version of that big hit.
I've seriously started avoiding remasters unless they clearly have a better sound. And then I ignore all the not-original material.
I sometimes wonder how many people are album-oriented like I am... I want to listen to the whole album straight through. I was really annoyed at Swift's 1989 special release with recordings of her talking about writing songs.
