Dear music industry -
Stop it with the boxsets. Please. You already ruined Nirvana for me with that boxset that let the world know Nevermind was 90% Geffen/Sub Pop A&R and Butch Vig while the other 10% was the "genius" of Kurt Cobain. Now you are about to do the same with Jane's Addiction. Seriously, outtakes were only cool for one album, and we all know you haven't pooped out a band of that caliber since then anyway.
Seriously, these cash grabs are annoying. The album was/is the art as it was. If the songs didn't make it on to the album, it's almost always because they weren't that good to begin with. Countdown to Extinction starts with Skin O My Teeth and ends with Ashes in Your Mouth...always has, always will. The 20-30 demo versions of Smells Like Teen Spirit didn't see the light of day for a reason. All this does is cheapen the art the bands put out to begin with and rips off fans by packaging sub-quality material and calling it a "collectors' item" even though any two bit website or record store carries 'em.
Sometimes this process is done right...but you almost always get it wrong.
