After listening to Luv Can and Shine, I understand that the original album didn't have any cohesion (those 2 + Limitless + Beautiful Drug + Story of Love are wildly different from each other and from the themes of the album) and the addition of the new songs makes the album the way it was supposed to be instead of having a case of Bounce part 2. It's a common old complain so I guess they got it right by most fans this time.
To me it went from an easy 6-7 to a... I don't even know, but it's a moot point anyway and I'm not really bothered. It's as simple as creating your own playlist instead of listening to the album and I sure as hell won't listen to many of the songs again so...
