Wrong album's name, sorry
Unpuzzle! is the correct one
 This is a remastered version of that 2011 Unpuzzle! album with three bonus tracks and a different cover. The original songs on the album weren't re-recorded for this reissue, just remastered, so does it actually need to be added as a new studio album? 
The band describe it on Bandcamp as a "deluxe edition of our first album "Unpuzzle!" with remastered songs and three bonus tracks". Maybe the releases information on the original album page could just have a note added saying: "Remastered and reissued as a deluxe edition digital album with three bonus tracks and different artwork in February 2025", with the bonus tracks added at the end of the original tracklist thus:
Bonus tracks on the 2025 remastered deluxe digital edition:
12. Sweet Fantasy (1:54)
13. SmileSnif (Acoustic) (4:07)
14. Treasures of the World (Acoustic) (4:55)

If this approach was adopted then I guess there would also need to be one additional guest vocalist added to the guest list on the original album page:
- Mi Alvelli / vocals (14)

I don't know what the correct way of dealing with something like this would be. 
It's kinda similar to this case from December 2020, only on that occasion no bonus tracks were involved.
Similarly here in October 2017, though for this other similar case from July 2016, either approach was considered acceptable.

Thanks, added info to the original entry. Will re-use deluxe page for some newly added release.

I think in cases like these we should have no mercy - 3 or several bonus tracks don't make a new release.
