Artists who know to to properly close an album,
i'lll start
Radiohead
>>64761222
th' faith healers
shouldn't they care about every song. I don't think I could listen to an artist who didn't care about every song.
>>64761324
im pretty sure we are talking about tracklisting here, dont be a retard.
>>64761359
ill fucking kill you
>>64761222

>>64761450
>>64761484
not mentioning wolf at the door...
even separator was sick
>>64761540
anything after Etoh is skippable
>>64761732
You're fucking dense m8
Pic not related.
DUDE IDK JUST DO A PIANO BALLAD LMAO
>>64761684
>super talented songwriter
>>64761711
A Wolf at the Door and HTTT in general are criminally underrated among Radiohead fans. Consistently ranked around or beneath TKOL, despite being much more interesting & well-written
Usually they have pretty good closers. Even on the shit albums.
>>64761222
slint
I personally prefer closing tracks with a "fuck it" attitude to albums that go out like "Woah, this is so cool and important!" An amazing opening track is usually more important in my book.
>>64761858
hail to thief arguably has the most high points out of ANY rh project, just lacks cohesion and the track listing could've been ordered better maybe, and a few songs could've been omitted and used for a diff record
>>64761816
you have to give an alternative when you meme a pretty fair opinion like that
>>64761286
Nah hes unconventionally attractive
>>64761863
Only In Dreams and Butterfly are solid. Can't think of another good closer they've had (and I actually like the Green album and Maladroit).
>>64761996
>Unconventionally attractive
Nah man he's just fucking ugly
>>64762019
perfect situation. why bother. you gave your love to me softly. suzanne.
>>64762043
Idk i used to think he was unattractive, he kinda grew on me over time though
>>64762019
Endless Bummer, Time Flies, and The Angel and the Other One are probably all the best on their respective albums.
>>64761984
Pete Townshend
even if you don't like pw or chz they still have p good closers
>>64761958
Yeah, like I said in another thread, the first half often fails to distinguish itself sonically from their prior material, but I find the second half is where the album really comes into its own and shines. People are just kind of underwhelmed by the time they get to that point, though.
So yeah, a bit more pruning could've easily turned it into a really great record. What a shame.
>>64762128
But Alvin Row and Brothersport are their most overrated songs.
this might be a little out of the way for this thread, but i feel like this album has always had the best ending track out of any of his albums. It's such a mixed bag and that final piano track ties it up so well.
>>64762128
Amanita isn't good though, and Recycling is beat out by half the album quality-wise
Otherwise I agree
>>64762220
Alvin Row yes to some degree, Brother Sport absolutely not
>European Son
>Sister Ray
>After Hours
>Oh! Sweet Nuthin
I'd say VU takes the cake
Fucking have a nice life.
I don't think it's possible to close an album better than they did with earthmover
Trent Rezzy of NIN
>>64762063
None of those are closers.
Anyway...
Haunt you Everyday (Make Believe)
The Angle and the One (Red)
The Futurescape Trilogy (EWBAITE)
and Endless Bummer (White)
Are all pretty good.
>>64761404
guaranteed replies
>>64761858
HTTT is great but Radiohead themselves have discussed its flaws resulting from trying to rush the record out to leave their label. You can kind of tell it doesn't have that radiohead polish famalam
>>64762812
Gave Up is fucking GOAT
>>64762602
>amanita isn't good
amanita is...the best song on the album my guy
>>64763415
Actually it only pretends to be good. It sounds fucking forced, like they were really trying to make a "great closing track," and possesses none of the effortlessness that Brothersport has. Everything on Centipede Hz sounds so corny and uninspired, even when it's trying like hell to make you think it's good. At any rate, it's not Animal Collective's latest album anymore; You can stop pretending it's good now.
Artificial death in the West, Fuck Who's Watching, Hacker, Bottomless Pit, Blood Creepin
>>64762220
>If it gets a lot of praise then it doesn't deserve that praise.
Sometimes things are really good and people realize it.
>>64763530
why do you think it sounds forced?
the mountain goats do good at this
>>64763548
Hacker is such a good fucking song
>>64763633
It just sounds like it's straining so hard to be good, but it has this awkwardness that is only there when you're trying to do more than what you're capable of.
>>64763548
But bottomless pit is their weakest closer. I don't think they care anymore cf. 'Eh'.
>>64763784
I thought it was great personally but will agree it didnt feel like too much of a closer compared to their others. Overall though, i think they do closers right.
>Ringfinger
>Suck (the true last song of the Broken EP)
>Hurt
>The Great Below / Ripe (With Decay)
>Right Where It Belongs
>Zero-Sum
>Demon Seed
>Black Noise
Trent Reznor built his entire career on phenomenal closers.
>>64761222
ween.
Also, nice trips Thom (no pun intended).
>>64762602
I feel the complete opposite about Alvin Row and Brothersport so you must be wrong
Pretty much the inventor of the concept
>>64763935
>Suck (the true last song of the Broken EP
>implying it was on the original release
>implying it wasn't labelled as a bonus track on later pressings
>>64764423
what the fuck
i hadn't listened to that in years and during all that time i remembered ballad of a thin man as being the closing track
>>64761684
Otherwise known as a reasonably attractive northerner

I agree. Good morning captain is fucking great.
Not to mention Hacker is a fucking gem, and On Gp (if you listen to the physical copy of TPTB) is one of my favorite Grips songs
>>64763935
I like to hit the treadmill and listen to Hesitation Marks. I have to turn it off after "While I'm Still There" Black Noise is too spooky for me. It feels like I'm listening to a audio interpretation of a black hole.
>>64762420
Real talk, I love Drukqs so much, but I rarely see it discussed on /mu/ for some reason. Am I the only one that likes it or something?
>>64761324
Is this post the "all lives matter" of music?
>>64766384
Definitely not. Its among Richard's best works IMO. The piano bits are somewhat atypical next to some of his early work and its incredibly enjoyable. Its a close one tied for second with RDJ album for me.
>>64762699
damn son thats a good ole point you got there... lol, i wish lou reed was still alive... got a wet ole dick with his name sharpied on the side.... brians wilson got nothin on this sunglass jew ass fucker right here. what a fella. what a good ole boy. got some good curly hair and a twinky face, want lou to take my ass in the hands
>>64761222
How has no one said Modest Mouse yet?
All of their albums except We Were Dead have killer closers. Styrofoam Boots is god-tier
>>64764691
no good is literally GOAT
>>64761267
THIS
fuck
