Hi 0666,

In response to your question, the definition of a studio album you can find on Wikipedia, also copied here below for you:
 <...snip...>

Hi. I don't agree with you. Edison's Children new album can categorize as Boxset and Compilation. You can find and listen. This is not about 1 or 2 tracks this is about over 50% of album! I recommend you to listen to this album. Thanks

Interesting... You ask for the definition, saying you have no problem with the two examples, and then you start disagreeing with the definition using one of the albums as an example.
Some would call that trolling... Especially since you fail to point out which tracks you are referring to. Listening to the album has nothing to do with that.
The Wikipedia definition may not be exactly the one used by PA, but it is close enough. Has been for years.

Hi Angelo. You don't get my point. I don't change my opinion yet. some guys give me Link for "Studio Album" Definition ! I know about this definition but IMO this kind of albums don't be a "New Studio Album". Maybe you talk about Corvus Stone and my answer to one of them. I only said C.S new album have more new stuffs but this album still have many repeated tracks.
This is very clear. You check and listen these albums then write your opinion about them. When you add one album as New Studio Album , this may effect to guys like me and spend money for having this new album. Never forget we talk about PA's effect on Prog fans .  I hope you understand my opinion. Thanks

Hello O666, let's set this straight. I'd like to avoid an endless discussion, which your style of discussing is bound to result in. If it is language related (which is very well possible) then please read very carefully before posting questions like you did, and certainly before responding to the answers you get. That could save a lot of time and confusion. So here goes... 

You raise a question - asking for the definition of studio album used by PA. You get an answer (from a very fine lady, btw, not from 'some guys' ). So far so good.
Then, you disagree with the definition, by contradicting yourself. In your initial post, you say you have no problem with the Edison Children album being defined as studio album, but after someone provides the definition you suddenly do have a problem with the album. That makes no sense to me.
When I point that out to you, you tell me I don't understand your point, and tell me that I am talking about the other album (Corvus Stone). That's plain silly, I know what I write, and I know what I respond to: your remark about Edison's Children.
Contradicting yourself and then telling me I don't understand to me means: end of discussion.

However, I do feel I have to give a final response to your closing remark, about how to spend your money and how PA and it's reviewers may influence that.
Indeed, we do add albums in the place where we see fit, as we have done since 2004. And yes, some albums, according to the definition contain tracks that were also included in other albums by the same band - which is indeed the case with these two. Still, the amount of new material is considered sufficient to list them as studio albums, and remixes are obviously included for a reason (typically that reason being they are considered to be better than the previous releases of the same material).

I can only hope that positive reviews indeed get you to buy albums and support the bands that create them. If we include an album here and review it, that does not mean you don't have to think for yourself about whether or not you are going to spend money on it. As your initial post already indicates: it is clear from the description of these albums that not all material is new - whether or not that is reason to buy it or not to buy it is up to you, not to us. And in cases like the two you mentioned, you always have the option to only buy the new tracks from bandcamp or CDbaby. Your choice, not ours, and certainly not a reason to change the definition of what a studio album is. 

I'll get me coat - I'm pretty sure this is all I have to say on this. 
I can't understand you. This is not about me!!! I am a very bad guy and you right!!! I dont forced any one to waste their time in this post.  If You don't like me and my challenge style, ok you don't waste your time. I ask a clear question about a OBJECTIVE thing. I must explain about some thing for you
1 - I am a Prog Rock fan over 30 years and learn about how pay mo money for music. 
2 - Please talk about Edison's Children new album. Are you listen or not and if your answer is yes what is your opinion? Is this a Studio album?
3 - You advice me to use BANDCAMP or ... I suggest many new bands in PA and some of them accepted in PA. this show I know these sites and blogs.
4 - I never try to change definitions!!! I said about categorize and some friends give their HONEST opinion about this question but you try to analyze my character and personage !! why?
