The music industry is crazy for anniversaries. It’s only spring, and already 2014 has seen everything from the 40th-anniversary edition of Rush’s Rush to the 25th-anniversary edition of Bob Mould’s Workbook to the 20th-anniversary edition of Pantera’s Far Beyond Driven. Those are all landmark albums—but when far less notable bands like, say, 65daysofstatic are about to get a 10th-anniversary reissue, it’s enough to make any music fan wonder what the criteria are for such an honor. Okay, so there aren’t any criteria, at least not other than what the market will supposedly bear. Still, it’s strange that so many worthy albums that will hit big anniversaries—specifically their 10th, 20th, 25th, 30th, 40th, or 50th—in 2014 aren’t getting deluxe reissues, with all the bonus tracks, repackaging, liner notes, remastering, and reassessment that comes with them.
