songs that ruin albums

I'm listening to this album called "Simian Mobile Disco - Attack Decay Sustain Release"

 

It's fairly decent, but all of a sudden there's this track called "hotdog"..

 

Down down baby

Down down baby down

 

Let's get the rhythm of the hands

Let's get the rhythm of the feet

 

Down down baby

Down down baby down

 

Put 'em all together and what do you get

Hotdog

 

Those are the lyrics. There's no hint of irony either. It's like something you'd play for preschoolers.. Kind of ruins the album.

99.9% of skit interludes, tho I guess that doesn't really count.

 

The slow ballad/soaring ballad anthem that is almost always at the end of a rock record.

i was just wondering you were joking or being serious. if your listening to the domestic (UK) release of geogaddi then i dont know what difference it makes to the album as its at the end and its silent. it has a more interesting effect if you have the japanese release in which it is like a peace-ness or a complete nothing-ness until "from one source all things depend" starts. i see that track like the antidote to all the chaos, paranoia and darkness that the album puts you through.

i guess, but at first it made me think my cd was fucked.

yeah i was thinking of 'My Body is a Cage' on Neon Bible. It doesn't ruin the album of course, that album rules. But I'd rather end on the 'No Cars Go' vibe than this.

 

I feel the same about 'Happy Cycling' on the US version of MHTRTCz0rs.

agreed. that track should not be there, in an album sequencing sense. (happy cycling).

 

 

this is the most i've talked about BoC in ages. i almost feel some of the comments should be moved to the BoC sub-forum just to justify its existence. :cry:

Next Exit, the first track on Interpol's Antics. Its rare that you have to skip the first track but this is a real droning stinker

I bought In Rainbows last week, I really like it, but the arrangement they settled on for "Nude" made me sad, I think they futzed with it too much for too long:( That track was the one I was really anticipating so in that way it sort of ruined it for me.

 

On Fishscale, the track "Back Like That" with Ne-Yo is obviously some bullshit r&b calculated cross-over, and it was a terrible single and badly edited for radio and didn't fit withthe rest of that record, for me.

I'll agree with that :)
