    The craziest deluxe I’ve ever heard is future’s INLY deluxe, because it came out like 3 days after the “standard” edition came out, even though the deluxe just feels like it completes the album. I feel like the album just wasn’t finished yet and he released the rest of it as a “deluxe”

      Disagree IMO, the deluxe tracks sounded nothing like the original album and ruined it. + the original version is nowhere to be found now on streaming and the even removed the "(Deluxe)" from it, making the deluxe edition the only version now. Which is a shame IMO

    There are 3 types of deluxe editions
    1. The “original” deluxe. Back in the day the standard and the deluxe would come out at the same time at like a $2-$3 difference. You would get like 2-3 bonus songs or maybe a dvd.
    2. The “New” deluxe. Basically everything we’ve gotten recently which is basically a whole new album attached to the other tracks.
    3. The “compilation” deluxe. When an important album reaches a milestone and you get all of the demos, b-sides, live tracks, and leftovers, usually coming in a expensive box set.

    Lately I've gotten really annoyed at Spotify sometimes *only* having the deluxe versions of albums. Usually when I'm trying a new album, I want to hear the original-- then if I'm absolutely blown away and love the artist, I might consider the deluxe version. However, since most deluxe versions are bloated with demos, boring live cuts, or clearly unfinished songs, it's usually not worth my time.
    One rare exception to this, interestingly, is the extended version of Lorde's debut album, Pure Heroine. You get the 4 songs from the Love Club EP that aren't in the base album, another catchy track in the iTunes version ("No Better"), and cap it all off with an excellent cover of The Replacements' "Swingin' Party." Deluxe editions as a whole would be a lot more attractive if they did this more often, incorporating EP-only tracks or non-album singles to add to the album instead of giving me 12 live tracks and some demos.

    • @caseys2698
      @caseys2698 Рік тому +6

      For an album without a high concept/concept album and a clear specific artistic vision, I’d say 8-12 tracks is a perfect album length.
      However, for albums with a lot of ground to cover within a certain concept, and/or the artist wants to explore many aspects of their artistic vision, I will always be willing to sit through 15-18 tracks, or even a bit more (if it’s good of course, lol). It just depends on the album.
      For instance, I really enjoy This Is It by The Strokes, and that’s 11 tracks. But some of my favorite albums of all time are ones with solid concepts that take longer than 8-12 tracks to achieve the best version. Some of my favorites are Wild World (Complete Edition) by Bastille (19 tracks; 1 hr 6 min), Trench by Twenty One Pilots (14 tracks; 56 min 9 sec), and Smoke + Mirrors by Imagine Dragons (13 songs; 50 min 51 sec). The length of tracks is also an important distinguishing factor between shorter and longer albums-as you can see, Trench is only 10 minutes shorter than Wild World, despite Wild World having 5 more tracks than it.
      I also consider Wild World (Complete Edition) to be the definitive edition of that album, while not considering the deluxe edition of Smoke + Mirrors as such, as it has some bonus tracks from the S+M sessions, and singles released 1-2 years before the album released. WW includes 5 “bonus tracks” in the Complete Edition, but those further add to and complete the album, especially The Anchor. The band must have thought so too, as it’s called Complete rather than Deluxe.
      All this is personal opinion, though. Some people aren’t big into listening to long albums (or unfortunately albums in general), so they’d probably want shorter albums. I’d love to hear what y’all think! 😄

    Crazy how the modern deluxe album is just stacking an entire album on top of an existing album. I guess if you’re a super fan you wouldn’t mind but in the case of lil uzi I would rather have eternal atake and LUVTW2 as separate albums. Some deluxe albums I’ve enjoyed in recent memory is Young Thug’s So Much Fun and Weeknd’s after hours because I feel like they add just the right amount of songs to make the album feel complete imo

    I admire your take on this topic.
    It is very true how cohesive some deluxe albums can be when they come from a genuine place, as in more of the less “saving” two maybe three extra songs to extend the story of the album. In my eyes anything more than let’s say 18 is enough to finish a story of an album. I feel when I’m doing listen throughs such as one comment said that they can only remember one or two songs that they may have liked and wanted to continue to listen to but it isn’t always a short attention span, if it’s ‘filler’ songs and makes the continuation of the album in a sense ‘boring’ it’s a waste of money to pursue to buy the whole album so the artist makes the extra money of one’s enjoyment of that ‘era’ someone is in their music career.
    Don’t get me wrong through, extended albums with remixes and maybe acoustic additions isn’t always a problem but it should be labeled properly for the listeners awareness before diving into music.

    Honestly, it is really cool when deluxe editions have different covers. But I ultimately love having the original artwork when I'm listening to an album, so I'm more than cool with a deluxe edition having the same cover so I can just save that one to my library and have all the songs

    • @saeedbaig4249

      I prefer different covers just so that when I see the album in peoples' topsters I can tell if they mean the "og" version or the deluxe version.

    One of my favorite examples of a deluxe edition is Moral Panic by Nothing but Thieves. They added 5 songs that were arguably just as good as the standard album, and rearranged all the original tracks to give a completely different experience listening through it from front to back, as well as fitting all the extra tracks within instead of just pinning them on the tail end. It feels like a deluxe edition that actually had purpose and intention behind it, and I wish more artists handled it like that.

    @patrickmeny1298 Рік тому +1

    one of my favorite deluxes is good kid, maad city. the standard album on its own makes sense; it's a concept album and only really contains songs that contribute to the story of the album. the deluxe has a lot of great songs recorded during the same sessions, but they aren't necessarily part of the story of the album (plus a couple remixes). it makes sense to give those extras that degree of separation.

    Just some deluxe albums that I like, because I’m not too sure what else to talk about:
    •Born to Die (If only Lana didn’t complicate it by making a Paradise edition as well that adds all of the tracks from Paradise, and a completely original one on top of it)
    •GKMC (But, the remixes seemed unnecessary)
    •My Everything (It also has a Target edition with two **extra** extra tracks. Neither of them are on Spotify.)
    •Dark Sky Paradise (It gets rid of a whole Kanye verse, and adds an Ariana feature)
    •After Hours
    •positions
    I like Circles’ deluxe edition’s two extra tracks a lot, but having 14 songs goes against having 12 songs for the 12 hours on a clock. Not sure why Mac’s estate would release the extra tracks unless there was some good symbolism behind it.

      @theprojectofgamers Рік тому +2

      In the case of Circles, I think it works a lot like After Hours, where both endings work for the albums, but 1 isn't better than the other. The standard edition, to me it feels like Mac's career, incomplete and over too soon. There's a reason the last chord is unresolved, leaving the album without a true ending. While the Deluxe edition ending on Floating, which feels almost ghostly, ends up being that final goodbye and that everything's gonna be okay in the end. At least that's my own interpretation, it also helps that I consider both deluxe songs to be among the best on the album and it would be a shame if we never got them.

    I don't do deluxes. I never stream them, when I see them come out, it's usually way after listening to the original and I have no intention to add 1-10 songs to the original no matter how good they might be. Any good songs added will be saved individually and won't be listened to in the album

    The only deluxe edition I could ever enjoy was The Avalanches - Since I Left You 20th Anniversary Edition. The second disc (or 3rd - 4th on vinyl) contained a whole bunch of remixes I surprisingly enjoyed. I usually hate remixes but these were sensible, and decent.

    Idk how to say it but The Weeknd can be an example of this deluxe-ifying albums. He did pretty great with the deluxe of After Hours, adding 3 bonus tracks at the time of release and just a remix 1 year later (Save Your Tears with Ariana Grande). But for the deluxe of Dawn FM, he calls it Alternate World and added 3 remixes at the time of its release, the single version of Take My Breath (the only lead single from Dawn FM), and added 1 more remix (Out Of Time remixed by Kaytranada). Also he added Moth To A Flame which is a collab song b/w him and Swedish House Mafia.

    deluxe additions have always felt off to me. i never listen to the deluxe editions of things where extra songs are just stuck on the end. especially if it’s an album with a story, the deluxe tracks disrupt it and really make the story feel off, like it didn’t end when it was supposed to.
    i also really dislike albums over 20 tracks, but that’s just an attention span thing. with the exception of taylor swift.

    I remember when re-releases were huge back in the early 2010's like Teenage Dream: the Complete Confection and Pink Friday Roman Reloaded The Re-Up these would be released well after the album was number 1 and had a bunch of hits just to prolong it's longevity of it's success with extra tracks and remixes
    That being said I love deluxe editions and extra content depending on the artist or if I really enjoyed the album thats my view

    I miss when Deluxe albums use to release the same day as the original version and only be an extra 2-5 songs. A very worthy 2-5. Nowadays everybody is dropping another full album to the deluxe just to push streams and cash exactly like it’s explained in this video. I’ve hated this new format & strategy the moment it started. Rarely any Deluxe albums nowadays that makes the album better.

    I used to think deluxe albums were mostly a thing for albums like GKMC or Under Pressure where they only had enough music for 3 sides on an LP so the deluxe tracks would be for the fourth side (Camp side D is what made me think this the most). I just assumed that since music at the time were mostly made for CDs and ITunes, most artists would make albums that were either too long for 1 LP or too short for 2 so bonus tracks would work for vinyls.
