Taking Dawn re-release Time To Burn

Recommended Posts

These tracks have been available since day one from itunes.

 

The only one worth having is 'Cant Leave You Alone'......which is one of the best tracks.

 

Okay, so maybe not such a disaster after all. I'm calm now. (But I still aim a :cussing: at all the other bands (or, more likely, their labels) who issue 'special edition' CDs after we've bought the initial CD releases. So there.)

While I have been known to download albums here and there to either test them before buying, or if they are out of print tough to find albums, I do believe in supporting artists by buying albums.

Now when it comes to these so called special editions, I begrudge paying for the CD again (although as I said, this is not a CD version anyway) as its just a way of ripping off the fans.

Ok, it may be record labels at fault, not the bands, but I refuse to buy the album again just for a few new tracks. (its a different case if its an album thats quite a few years old being re-issued as thats fair enough).

In cases like these I will either pay for the individual tracks from Amazon or download them illegally.

 

I just think its unfair to pay for an album then be expected to buy the album again within a few months.

Either release the extended version at the same time (as was done with the last albums by Buckcherry and Airbourne) and let people choose which version they wanna buy or just release one all encompassing version and get rid of this stupid idea of special editions.

Yep, I bought this CD a long time ago and downloaded these extra songs and that is how it'll stay.

 

If both versions are released at the same time, or have been released by the time I get the chance to buy the CD I will make an informed decision about which copy to buy. But as a general rule I will buy the cheaper version, generally as soon as I can, and just download any extra tracks that are released later. There are so many CDs out there to buy and the last thing one needs is to f*ck around with different versions of a CD one already has. :)

    • I guarantee that virtually nobody here will like this, as it is death metal, but interesting and innovative choices in instrumentation and composition intrigue me. When this song hits the breakdown it takes on very interesting vibe IMO.  
    • New song 'The Nero Decree' featuring Marty Friedman on lead guitar, Ralph Sheepers on vocals, Fredrik Folkare on rhythm guitars, Steve Mann on keyboards, Barend Courbois on bass, Bodo Schopf on drums.     
    • Yeah, it was definitely what I never knew I needed. Crazy that something I did 20+ years ago, without anything in-between, suddenly becomes relevant again.  But make no mistake of it, after that first pass through them all it only left me with roughly 30 songs I put on Soundcloud that I was willing to share, and of them I had at least one significant issue with each song.  This process of going through them all again is definitely ironing out some of those chinks in the armour and I'm hoping to have a bit more than 30 keepers this time around, but we'll see. On that first pass, I left the lyrics as they were, warts (and significant warts too) and all. As I'm going through them again, I'm trying to iron out some of the really cringe lyrics. In some cases I'd have to scrap the whole song, though, so it's not a one-size-fixes-all type of scenario. But, for reference, 'Liar' and 'Prove Me Wrong' were definitely not anything I'd have shared first time around, but I really like the re-workings, with some slightly tweaked lyrics.  A lot of the time the damage is done, subject-wise, but if I can just refine a lyric or two it can still make a difference, I'm finding. Even if 95% of those old songs are all on the same subject, and funnily enough, the ones that aren't are generally the worse songs.  Most will stay in the bank for my private enjoyment, but hoping I can rework a few keepers to get a bunch of releases under my belt. Just need a bit more than 50 credits a night, lol.  Sorry I'm rambling again, but for the record, my current ratios with the new songs are pretty similar too. I just counted - I've written 58 new songs since I started using Suno, and I was in the process of trying to get 10 to put on an album, so yeah, it's a pretty typical ratio already, that I might get a keeper ratio of about 1/5 or even 1/6 of all the songs I write. And even that number could be heavily argued too, lol. I'm bummed I couldn't get around to releasing an album of the new tracks soon, but this going into the back catalogue to get everything - including those ones - licensable, has to take precedence. I do miss the days/nights of just penning a quick simple and stupid song and making it that night when I thought I had my back catalogue sorted. Hopefully I get there again, but for now it is what it is. 
    • I can't believe you had that many songs already up your sleeve.  This site must've been a Godsend for you.
    • Another new track from the H.AI.R METAL dude. Damn he has this down to a fine art, love it.  
    • Simon Says - Spin This Surrender - Better Later Than Ever
