i think i've got a new musical-listening endeavor ahead of me, which may change my appreciation of certain records. in the past, i've always been a HUGE fan of bonus tracks on the whole, filling a cd with as much to make my bucks worthwhile...but i've noticed that although i really appreciate having these bonuses, they really do detract from the album experience, despite a few exceptions.what got
