Remember back in the day when flannel was all the rage and people bought music on CDs...yes, the 90's.
I just saw some old 'hidden tracks'...those tracks that after the 'last' track of the album played there'd be an extended period of silence followed by a surprise 'hidden track'...not listed in the liner. Ah yes, a perfect place to hide some crappy song that didn't deserve to make the album. Maybe the record company thought it sucked and wouldn't let it go on but it was a sneaky way to get it in.
Now with digital music you can easily see the track length...therefore a 10:40 track (on anything other than a Dream Theater album) most likely include the namesake and that special little nugget.
There was some weird stuff. I remember a Korn CD where the first 12 tracks were each one second long and contained only silence...how bad ass...the album 'started' on track 13. I tunes seems to have fixed that issue by eliminating the first 12 tracks (or maybe I did it) and still allows the first track to be numbered 13. Thanks for not ruining our fun apple.
