I agree that it seems that some artists tend to fill albums up with certain songs that you think no one must like, but there are always those that consider that awful track their favorite. (anyone like Mr. Angry from In Pine Effect?) Anyway, I think most of the music-purchasing public would agree with me when I say if I had to make the choice between a 40 minute album and a 70 minute album with 30 minutes of out-takes and filler, I would always ALWAYS choose the 70 minute album. I would rather have all the material than knowing there is a lot that was edited by men in suits. Andrew
