  1. 90% chance it will have a good slide solo, (unless of course you dislike the particular solo).
    No reason to take it out, so why fix what ain't broke?

    Is this the only album you know which has true hidden tracks? ie. not like Viva La Vida, where it's just two songs sharing the same track.


    Radiohead never had hidden tracks

    And I remember Robbie Williams 'Rudebox' had a hidden track called 'Dickhead', best song of the album.
    Travis' 'The Man Who' had a hidden track called 'Blue Flashing Light', which was also the best song on the album.
    Counting Crows' 'Hard Candy' had 'Big Yellow Taxi' as hidden track, which would become their biggest hit.

    And there are loads of other albums with real hidden tracks. But I'm not looking forward to a hidden track; pretty nonsense IMO...

    *sigh* I meant it sounds like something Radiohead would do, being fascinated with innovation etc.

    I am not a big fan of hidden track's either, if it's anything like VLV, it means you have a good song back to back with a mediocre one (like Lovers in Japan/Reign of Love), which means you have to skip forward when song 1 finished everytime you listen to it.

    Okay, misunderstood

    Well, I never understand why you would even put hidden tracks on there? Why not 13
    songs instead of 10 with 3 hidden tracks...Could be me tough...

    Exactly, you don't spend 4+ years making a album, and then advertise the fact that you only have 11 songs to show for it.

    Wouldn't bother me. A songs a song. Would be a nice surpise to have another song on there when you though the album had finished

    Quality, not quantity.

  8. Maybe the total album length, 53 min., doesn't include the hidden track. I'm still wondering what happened to "Every Breaking Wave."
  9. What would be cool is if they included a Bonus CD with 4 or 5 extra songs. Kind of like a side 3. If wishes were horses...

  10. Queens of the Stone Age's 2002 album Songs for the Deaf uses the same thing: if you rewind when track 1 starts playing, you hear the singer saying 'huh, what?', then you get some bass tones, and the song then segues into track 1. It's nice, but it would be better if it were an actual song. EAC is the only software with which you can rip the track on your computer.

    It's a matter of profit, IMO. Why throw 15 songs on an album when just as many people will buy the album with 11 and you can use the other 4 tracks as individual downloads, a "Prospek's March"-like EP, or other bonus tracks. Most people here are talking about purchasing the superdeluxe version because it has some additional tracks not available on the basic physical release.
