Jackie Blue:
ITT: Hold Steady express their opinions on downloading leaked albums by intentionally leaving 3 songs that they absolutely knew should have been on there off until the physical release.

GMM:
Well, the difference being those TVOTR tracks weren't... Actually the one I've heard WAS good enough to be on the album. Damn, yr right. I've only heard Dogs of Light I think of the bonus tracks. [Good work, various digital stores on mislabelling the bonus tracks there]
AnonymousNoob:
I actually hate it when tracks that are tacked on to albums (and aren't even their own proper tracks for that matter) so I opted for the version without the special tracks.
Give me a separate disc if there's any bonus stuff.
I BELIEVE IN THE PURITY OF THE ALBUM.
Seriously though, I tend to listen to CDs in my car and it bugs me when there's no gap track or anything (hell the liner notes don't even acknowledge them).
:-D

For the longest time I thought that Cat Power's Moon Pix album actually had 14 tracks rather than 11, despite being subtitled "11 songs Australia 1998", because the C.D. I bought contained three bonus tracks that were completely unlisted and unmentioned anywhere. And because I was young and inexperienced in the ways of bonus tracking.
Even to this day I have difficulty stopping the C.D. after "Peking Saint" has finished.

--- Quote from: imapiratearg on 19 Jan 2009, 11:51 ---I totally agree with Dovey. "Constructive Summer" gets me so pumped. It also reminds me of That 70's Show. "We're gonna lean this ladder up against the water tower / climb up to the top and drink and talk." Also the gang vocals. SO AWESOME.
Also, the solo on "Lord, I'm Discouraged" fucking slays.

OH GANG VOCALS HOW I LOVE THEE, LET ME COUNT THE WAYS.
and re: the solo on "Lord, I'm Discouraged," I think that song sums up what draws me to the Hold Steady, and it ties into what someone said earlier in the thread: The Hold Steady are not an "indie rock" band, they are just a rock band. And rock music should include gigantic crotch-grabbing finger-tapping solos whenever appropriate.
