Could care less about LDR, but yeah, this practice drives me fucking bonkers. Especially when they make all of the new tracks 'Album Only' on iTunes, so you can't even pick and choose the new tracks that way.

man that H&M commercial. I saw that the other day. hard to believe someone thought her "David Lynch lite" schtick was TOO SUBTLE so they had her sing Blue Velvet in a red room with a little person.

maybe this will be the only album she ever releases and she'll just add some new songs to it every once in a while

i don't get why this is so weird, isn't it par for the course that every vaguely successful major label album gets re-released a gazillion times with new add-ons each time? iirc there was a gaga box set for the fame monster...
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 15:07 (eleven years ago) link
that's stupid too, although at least there was actual interest in a rehashed Lady Gaga album
― cake-like Lady Gaga (DJP), Tuesday, 25 September 2012 15:08 (eleven years ago) link
Fame Monster was released with The Fame attached in the UK at least

yeahh this pointless box set thing happens a few times a year at least, dying gasp of the music industry etc etc
― human centipede hz (thomp), Tuesday, 25 September 2012 15:18 (eleven years ago) link
my reaction stems from this being a particularly pointless box set even in the arena of pointless box sets
― cake-like Lady Gaga (DJP), Tuesday, 25 September 2012 15:19 (eleven years ago) link
it's not tho! it's just an averagely pointless box set!

I think there's a slight difference between extravagant box sets that are released when the original albums come out, as another option for the "superfans", as opposed to box sets that get released months later that force fans to rebuy the same album.

see also "gold" and "silver" VIP packages to tours (where you get a meet-and-greet and early access to the merchandise stalls YAY)
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 15:24 (eleven years ago) link
i don't know how it "forces" anyone to do anything really. and at least they're getting 9 new songs (basically another album) for the price of buying the alubm again, a lot of deluxe editions are like 2 new songs. (xpost)
― some dude, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 15:26 (eleven years ago) link
The cool thing is that one of these boxes actually contains Lana Del Rey's severed ear.
― DJ Mooncup (NickB), Tuesday, 25 September 2012 15:26 (eleven years ago) link
you see you laugh but the gaga box set actually DID contain a "lock" of her "hair"

well, for £25, that's not bad contentwise...
― Mark G, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 15:31 (eleven years ago) link
well, yeah, the "new" stuff wildly varies from set to set. in terms of "forcing" fans to buy stuff, i'm looking at it from the point of a fan who isn't going to illegally download the new stuff. a lot of these deluxe editions get released with new songs that you just cannot get any other way. i'm not sure if its still this way, but the Katy Perry rerelease of her recent album on iTunes had the "new" material greyed out an only available as 'Album Only', meaning you had to buy the entire thing again to get the new stuff. how is that not forcing the hardcore fans to re-buy the same material again?

Seems like a big part of LDR's appeal is the image, the way she is packaged and repackaged, so it seems like having new artifacts to complete your LDR set is pretty much giving the fans what they want. Not that the music isn't important at all, but the image is at least as important, if not more so.
