It is not uncommon for trends to develop in music over time. For Tooth & Nail Records, the most recent trend has been to re-release every album after only a few months on the market. With new songs, unreleased tracks and other bonus features, this might seem like a really good idea, but what it really does is leave listeners wondering whether to buy an album when it is released, or just wait until the re-release a few months later and get more for the same price. While record labels such as Tooth & Nail expect both copies to be purchased by everyone, this tends to be expensive, if not unnecessary, and so a choice must be made on whether to wait, or if the wait is even worth it.

With The Fold however, they tried something new and decided to re-release their debut album online, exclusively through iTunes, entitled This Too Shall Pass (Special Edition). Not only does this create an opportunity to buy the entire album, but also to just purchase the 4 previously unreleased songs, which probably benefits everyone in the long run.
