Tracks that end an album
JimmyJazz:
"One of Us Cannot be Wrong." As if the rest of the album weren't heartbreaking enough, Leonard Cohen manages to encapsulate the love and hate he feels for the unamed woman in the song with perfect language;
But you stand there so nice, in your blizzard of ice,
oh please let me come into the storm.
Beautiful.

" Veritas, Aequitas" by Darkest Hour*
"The Riddle of Steel" from Beyond the Embrace's Against the Elements*
"When the Walls Go Down" on Evergrey's The Inner Circle. Crazy religious dude audio sample + beautiful violins + sudden onslaught of sound at end of song = awesome
"(((louds" from He Is Legend's Suck Out the Poison album. Super-epic down-home post-hardcore with jamtastic female guest vocals? Yes please!
"Homecoming" from Misery Signals' unarguably perfect Controller album. Part of the song actually starts in the previous song "Reset" and fades in. One of those slow down/speed up/slow down even slower/hit you in the face for the last thirty seconds songs. I think there are at least ten layers of guitars going on in some parts of the song.
*both also happen to be my most favorite instrumentals ever

My guitar teacher put out an album recently that had a pretty awesome closing track. It's 8 tracks of really soulful, heartfelt jazz/blues, and the last track is 2 minutes of really upbeat bluegrass with lyrics basically saying "hey, come see us live!" and it's pretty hilarious.
Bruce Springsteen ending Born to Run with "Jungleland" is so perfect in my opinion. Dude loves singing about life in Jersey/New York, but this song to me really sounds like it was supposed to be an end-all/be-all of his work.

Broken Chairs by Built to Spill is a fucking epic closer to an awesome album.

I absolutely agree with this. Halfway through the track, just as it was winding down, I thought to myself that it had to be the last track of the album. It picks off from the last song slowly and crescendos fast before winding down again, and just gives you that impression of closure. It's absolutely perfect in that way.
