I cannot tolerate chucking a live recording in there. Hearing that little bit of feedback is so f***ing annoying

I used to listen to Mannequin Factory as all 5 live songs, the singles/leaks and a couple of Tramps tracks. And I listened to that a LOT, between 50-90 plays for each live song. Now that we have the demos or whatever they are, I never want to go through the ultimate low of playing those live recordings again.
The other thing is that OWA and Rich Boi were created much later than the rest of the album and with the inclusion of SCFAB, it definitely shows. SCFAB, MF and SMB are the holy trinity and all would be 10/10s with official versions (SMB already is). The sound is so amazing and the perfect pop/dance/industrial blend, I'm still in awe of Porcelain and RedOne basically creating an entire sub-genre by themselves. OWA and Rich Boi do not belong to this style. They are cheap. They are gimmicks. They are RedOne being a dick and making Porcelain write more poppy songs. Now that it's all done with, it's painfully obvious that PB couldn't give a sh** about either of them and I wish they weren't a part of the album. Don't get me wrong they're still bops and both a 7/10, but the rest of PB's music is on a whole other level. If OWA wasn't a single and a demo didn't leak, I wouldn't be putting that live recording on the album either. As it is I'll make do with chucking it on there, since it has significance with us stans and with PB's career.
(this is what I meant about gathering my thoughts on the whole thing, I still have more to say though
