    Things have changed.

    People will say she's not forcing anyone but she's cultivated a mentality with her fans that that they DO need to buy it.

    She absolutely has! And that’s to say nothing of the people who just like those songs and want that album, but already have the proper TTPD and don’t want to buy it again. I’ve even been coming around on the anthology songs, after not caring for most of them much. I’d happily buy just that album, but no such thing seems likely to ever exist.

    i'm just glad Hozier was kind enough to say "hey, if you already bought the album but want the new deluxe version, here's a copy with only disc 3 that you can slide discs 1 & 2 into"

    I don't follow him, really, but that's super cool that he did that!

  5. i guess i would've preferred a delayed deluxe drop over how it was all on streaming so soon after, but idk I'm a pretty recent/casual fan of Taylor, i haven't listened to part two yet simply because i prefer physical over streaming. i'm glad i decided to collect her stuff on cd rather than vinyl, the latter would've just been too costly for an artist i don't have too strong a connection to. on rsdbf instead of going for Anthology (which I admittedly didn't even know dropped at Target) I went for the So Jealous reissue because I've been listening to Tegan and Sara for the better part of two decades and already had a few of their albums on vinyl. I generally don't mind Target exclusives tho, sometimes their variant is the color i prefer, or they have a cooler cover.
