dantheriver Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 They got worried different colours and covers wouldn’t be enough to sell 4-5 copies to each fan this time and added unique bonus tracks. Wow. Pretty rude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan P Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Pretty sure this is the first time in my life I have been sick of an artist I really like. Tired of seeing her in the news, tired of seeing her on TV, tired of ridiculous marketing gimmicks. I just want to listen to the music.

Just wait until the week or so before release and any/all versions should be available at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been feeling like that for quite a bit now. It’s exhausting to be a fan and I’m staring to resent her & be annoyed. If that makes me not a Swiftie anymore, so be it.

drewberinger Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I feel like she's taking advantage of her fans by doing this - knowing that they'll drop 100s of dollars every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost as if all pop(ular) music is carefully constructed to do exactly this. There has never been any real emotion in Taylor's music and I think the whole "hueh hueh I r metal guy who lieks Taylor aren't I quirky?" deal was the fucking strangest happy coincidence for her and her management. We should make showers the next quirky weird thing to fuck the man. Until they get too popular of course. copelandkid, Bronchitis and YesPlease 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawhizz Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 What is the over/under on the number of different editions of the album that just change the bonus track? 4.5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should make showers the next quirky weird thing to fuck the man. Until they get too popular of course. I really disliked TS until Folklore. That album really changed my opinion. This is nothing new for me. My old ass bought the Physical album by Olivia Newton-John when it first came out. I listened to that right along with my copy of Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables. Have never given a fuck about what genre I was supposed to like. clerk3745, Boaty McBoatface and thebilljim 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boaty McBoatface Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Bunch of whiners in this thread. Turn off the tv. Buy one copy of the album. Listen to it between ETID albums. Life is good. richardp, seku, Corgipants and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan P Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 1 hour ago, andrewlucas said: Wait, so there are entire pressings with different bonus tracks? Yeah, and now there are three of them! While I hate most of the marketing/rollout for this, I actually do like the fact that she hasn't released any songs from it yet. I just got the new Middle Kids record, and I love it, but 5 or the 11 songs were released as singles over the last 8 months, so only half the record was "new" to me. I think I might avoid any early streaming songs from this TS record, then go buy the record at Target on release day, and then listen to the whole album as a complete unknown.

lexicondevil Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Seems like every time they end the "limited preorder" of another version, they put up The Manuscript version again, which was only supposed to be available for that limited time. Canceled that order. It would be really funny if that one ended up being the one that wasn't available everywhere later. Consumer games galore.

Not sure what version of the manuscript you’re talking about but if it’s the deluxe cd that isn’t up again. That is the only version of the manuscript that was limited.

The Bolter & The Albatross for vinyl, cd, deluxe cd & cassette were all limited for 72 hrs as well. The Manuscript vinyl, standard cd and tape cassette is the only versions not limited. This was the same as how 1989 TV went on her store. lexicondevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
