CD ReviewsObnoxious Rip Off!!!! dltstl | Oakland, CA United States | 06/06/2007 (1 out of 5 stars) "Record companies can't figure out why people get music online and don't want to pay money for the CDs? It's because they keep jerking people around with things like this! I paid good money for this album, happy to support the artist. Now I find I've only got part of the album. I don't care about "leatherette boards." I want what I paid for in the first place--the music. All of it. How many CDs do they expect people to buy to get a full album? I may wind up with this "special edition" and the four missing tracks, but they sure won't be getting money from me for it." Bonus Tracks = 4 Stars Andrew Shaffer | Davenport, Iowa | 06/11/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "Ideally, the bonus tracks and demo tracks would have emerged as b-sides to singles or as an EP in their own right. One track, the demo of "This Old Town," surpasses the final version included on the original release. The bonus tracks "Home" and "Around the Roses" are quality additions, and better than most other bands' singles. The "Big Weekend" demo is less necessary. If you don't own the album yet (five stars in its own right!), this is definitely the edition to get--the additional tracks are worth the extra dinero (although the "leather" packaging is slightly more of a questionable enhancement). But what if you already bought the original version? Find the added tracks on iTunes (if they're available...) or else wait for the used price of this one to drop significantly to, say, $8.98 or less." Rip Off Central Timothy W. Layton | Towson, MD | 06/06/2007 (1 out of 5 stars) "I totally agree. I own ALL of Petty's album, and this type of BS is what he was singing about when you listen to his album "The Last DJ". The record companies are trying to get people to actually buy albums, but then they want to d!ck around with everyone. I'm sure that if they would have released this on the SAME day that they released the regular edition, the hardcore fans & collectors would have bought it... but NO... they wait over 2 months until the regular edition is out to put out one with 4 BONUS tracks, so the hardcore fan and/or collector will have to buy a 2nd copy of the album to get the 4 extra tracks.
I gave this item 1 star because it is a RIP OFF... but otherwise, Tom Petty is always a 5 star musician, and this is one of his best albums! Sorry Tom... SOrry that the record company is ripping off your fans! I think you should put the 4 tracks up on your website to download for free! I have 2 words for the music industry: Pogue Mahone!" |
