ITT: perfect albums ruined by the closing track
Usually OP is expected to provide an example
>>69728491
This one was ruined by the entirety of side B
>>69728528
Two-Headed Boy pt. 2 is the best song on the whole album though
>>69728517
>disliking 808s and Heartbreak in 2016
you're not allowed to have an opposing opinion buddy
>>69728528
no?
>>69728491
>kanye
>perfect album

I can think of perfect albums ruined by one track but it's never the ending track. I love ending tracks. Most of my favorite songs of all time are ending tracks.
>>69728580
Every song after Holland was significantly worse than the first 6 of the album.
Communist Daughter was ok.
>>69728644
W R O N G
such a cringey fucking rant at the end of this album.
>>69728634
SHE WANT TO MOVE CALIFORNIA
>>69728745
A: Didn't end the album
B: Haven't listened to it.
>>69728634
Agreed
Desolation Row
Sister Ray
Junkyard
Leif Erikson
1990 was a Long Year and We Are All Out of Hot Water Now
Down in the Sewer
A Raincoat's Room
Anywhere I Lay My Head
Dingue
One of Us Cannot Be Wrong
Pornography
It's All Over Now, Baby Blue
Farewell Aldebaran
Leave Me Alone
Expressway to Yr. Skull
Reservations fucking sucks
Poor Places was the best closer for the album
>that answering machine voice repeating the album's title over and over amid a fog of feedback
>>69728925
You never want to go out with a bang on a finite plane
If it ended with Poor Places it would've left too much unsaid
>>69729083
Reservations is still the worst song in the album though
They could've closed it with another drawn out coda that actually matched the quality of the album
Why the fuck do people fawn over Her Majesty?
It's stupid filler that shouldn't have made the cut for the album
Oh wait. Finally thought of one that applies!
>>69729194
>people fawn over Her Majesty?
Literally nobody does that.
>>69728491
I like Pinocchio Story
>>69729228
Most Beatles fans I know LOVE that piece of shit and I even saw it once in a list of the best songs shorter than a minute
When I ask why they only answer that it's "so cute" or "so great"
>>69729481
this
>>69729208
Nah ain't no nigga sucks
And Sung Tongs too.
>>69729544
>plus three more great songs
>all that empty space
Why not just fucking list the last three songs
>>69729579
Derek is great wtf
agree with Sung Tongs though
>>69728517
this
>>69729787
I think I mixed up Derek with #1, but I'm not sure, in any case I remember expecting more from Strawberry Jam's closer
Not that it's a bad track, I just find it odd that it's a fairly upbeat and inspiring song. Doesn't fit the rest of the album.
>>69728580
808 is trash
>>69730083
ur trash lol
>>69728491
>Coldest Winter
>bad
I seriously hope you mean Pinnochio's Story.
>>69728925
Yeah last two songs shoulda been swapped
>>69730738
considering Pinnochio's Story is the last song on the album I don't see why he wouldn't be referring to that
It's not that Happy Cycling is bad, but it would have made so much more sense to end the album with One Very Important Thought, the penultimate track.
>>69729945
The album is tragically front-loaded in general though
>>69731905
happy cycling is a bonus track
>>69728517
Pinnochios Story is hot garbage
>>69728491
>>69730738
>>69731064
yea idk how you're confused but i am referring to Pinocchio
>>69729986
I love it and I find that the "upbeatness" makes it stand out a bit more and acts as a sort of self realization closing track.
Dan is finally admitting the final thing, that he has depression (a.k.a a "devil" on his back and chest)
the horns represent some sort of optimism
>>69732189
just like the rest of the album
>>69728491
ruined is the wrong word but the last track is worse than every other track (peking o is amazing, fuck you)
on a later release only, otherwise expressway to yr skull is one of the best closers to an album ever in my opinion
>>69731064
>>69733312
Pinocchio's Story is basically a bonus track. The album proper closes with Coldest Winter. That said, Pinocchio's Story is absolutely the worst thing on 808's.
>>69733517
I bought the vinyl version of this without knowing about the locked groove. I'd be so fucking pissed if I bought a version that closed with Bubblegum instead.
>>69731937
Overload notwithstanding I prefer Side B. Houses In Motion and Listening Wind are my favorites.
>>69733558
it was the label they were under that made them have a cover
wasn't even an average cover
>>69733580
i agree too, seen and not seen is great
>>69728861
>Leave Me Alone
Fuck yeah I've slowly been warming up to PC&L and that song is one of my favorites
Not exactly ruined but Internal Landscapes is pretty handily my least favorite on it.
>>69733737
Actually, I just realized that this can be applied to Anathema for a number of their albums - Serenades, A Fine Day To Exit, A Natural Disaster and We're Here Because We're Here all fall victim to this.
>>69730119
lmaoing @ur taste right now kiddo
>>69729579
Fireworks should have been the closer. If it had ended there it would have made a 10/10 EP.
>>69728491
I think Pinocchio Story is brilliant.
>>69728710
Yeah, the rant seemed unnecessary
