Does anyone else make custom versions of albums? If so, share them here!

What I mean by this is removing the "filler" from a double album, reworking the track listing, adding in b-sides, cutting an album down to an EP, etc. To some this may be blasphemy, but there are many times when I'm listening to an album and think "they should have done this!" Anyway, I enjoy doing it. Here are some examples of some that I have done:

2. No Soul
3. The Word You Wield
4. Surgically Removing the Tracking Device

9. Baby Girl, I'm a Blur
10. About Falling
11. People Like You Are Why People Like Me Exist
12. You're the Wanker, If Anyone Is
13. Spores
14. An Insult to the Dead
15. Sorry, Dudes. My Bad.

Good idea. The label forcing that song onto the album is what's wrong with the music industry. I wish they had recorded "Uphill Battle," too.

First time I appreciated "Uphill Battle" actually. I must've confused that song with another one for a long time. There were some great ideas that were left off the album (the last track of the instrumental demos, for one).

This is a good idea, but there were still a couple more good tracks on that album. How about if SYG had made Burning At Both Ends, got rid of the filler, and then added the two songs they just did with Chad Gilbert

Track listing

1. Cure For Apathy
2. Start Your Reactor

I've got one like this where I tried to trim the track listing up and make the "story" flow a bit better. Only managed to cut two songs though. Like what you did.
