"Hidden songs" are lame

Flying Mullet · 04-03-2008, 08:03 PM

I hate it when musicians put a "hidden song" at the end of a track after 5 minutes of silence or whatnot. It's obnoxious and the lapse of sound ruins my music listening experience.

"Hidden song" = crap
Bonus track = cool

I agree so very, very much.

When I get a CD I listen to it once an rip it to my computer. Once it's ripped, I can cut out the excess and tag it appropriately.

But yeah, "hidden songs" are pretty stupid. If not for the freedom of my computer, they'd get on my nerves a lot.

I usually just skip a song when I notice long spans of silence.

The only one I found -really- weird, as that on one of the Marilyn Manson cd's, there are 99 tracks on it and the 99th track is the "hidden/Bonus" song sound thing. It's like 20 second tracks from track 12 to 99.

do they think they're being tricky? "heh no one will notice 20 minutes of silence then BAM the song hits them!"

the songs after the silence are usually pretty good though
