    yeh i guess, but id still rather no bonus track then a remix, what other bands have done this? ive only ever seen 'real' bonus tracks that r completely different songs. like Frontier City on new KOL album is a great tune, if u2 put proper b-sides on thier singles id be a little less pissed, but GOYB single is having some form of NLOTH, then another version on the album, its dumb.

    Shall we hang on until we know exactly what's what before we get our knickers completely in a knot?



  4. You really could/should post that in every topic that starts with "NLOTH : ...."


  5. I bought the deluxe and standard for Bomb....I'm getting the standard so I can put in with the rest of the albums and the box set for obvious reasons and the itunes for the exclusive bonus tracks

    Buy the physical. I'm sure there will be some torrent where you can download the bonus tracks


  7. Just buy the box set. If you get bored by it in 50 years you can sell it for a higher price
    But I don't think I will ever sell stuff like that.

    Exactly, Itunes is a rip off, what do you get that's different from just downloading the album from a torrent? And I think the prices for the physical album and the digital copy are the same too.


  9. By paying for what you download you skip the illegal element and support the band. Just buy the CD

    iTunes is awfully expensive. And now with the DRM removed and the 256 AAC encoding, they want to charge you $1.69 per song (in Australia), up from 99c. That's not cheap - but if the song is good, why not. But I guess 256 AAC is better than 128 without having to resort to DRM removal later on.

    I will buy the CD, and for the first time, the box-set and the regular CD and possibly the iTunes-only tracks - not two years apart or whatever. But if they're exclusive tracks, would they actually be that great? Stuff like Levitate was a fantastic song, but a real pity that was never released on CD as a hidden track or bonus track.


    Hopefully one day Apple / Universal pull their heads in and start releasing lossless of iTunes-only tracks.
  11. great
