Tracks that end an album
onewheelwizzard:
I was kinda hoping people would say ...
"I Was a Teenage Hand Model" (QOTSA) and "I Think I Lost My Headache" (Rated R) by Queens of the Stone Age
"Spaceship Landing" (...And the Circus Leaves Town) by Kyuss (or the hidden track that comes on 4 mintes after that song ends, "Day One," which is perfectly placed)
"The Warning" (Black Sabbath) by Black Sabbath
"Second Time Around" (Vincebus Eruptum) by Blue Cheer
"Revelation" (Da Capo) by Love
"Mountain" (Colour Haze) by Colour Haze
"Untitled" (Feathers) and "Raise the Sails" (Shivering King and Others) by Dead Meadow
"Beggar's Blues" (Whiskey for the Holy Ghost) by Mark Lanegan
"Tale Flight" (The Boy Who Floated Freely) by Ramona Cordova

whoever mentioned he is legend's "(((louds" is right on the ball! although i have the UK version with "cape fear" as a bonus track. i wish that if they were gonna add bonus tracks on reissues/special editions, they'd either put them on a second disc, or integrate them into the album's tracklist in a way that flows (the haunted did that with "rEVOLVEr" - i can't even remember which three are bonus tracks, because they just fit and flow so well).
i'd have to put forward Rocket From the Crypt here, as they've got a shitload of awesome closing tracks:
"Too Many Balls" (from "Live from Camp X-Ray," which ISN'T a live album btw), has the extended "too many balls gonna kill us all!" bit building to a climax, and then they throw a curveball by ending it with the sound of a tape machine fucking up.
"Ghost Shark" (from "Group Sounds") ends what is possibly their heaviest and rawest album with a spooky ballad. hardly the sort of band you'd expect to come up with something like that, but boy do they pull it off well!
"Glazed" (from "Circa: Now!") is just 8 and a half minutes of awesome, with the last half the huge build up of "TAAAAKE THAAAAAAT!" (x1000000) seeming endless, but in a good way. and when they randomly start chanting "SMOKE POT SMOKE POT EVERYBODY SMOKE POT!" it never fails to raise a smirk!
"Burnt Alive" (from "Scream Dracula Scream") is a kinda slow-burning, eerie, and badass end to one of the best rock'n'roll albums of the last 20 years (if not EVER).
and their best closer, "Run Kid Run" (from "RFTC") is quite possibly their best song ever, although it may be because i'm a sucker for vocal harmonies that i like this one, because there's harmonies coming the proverbial wazoo here. it's not a long song, but it somehow manages to be as epic-sounding as songs several times it's length.

Of recent vintage, the track 30Kft from Assemblage 23's album Storm is a particularly brilliant piece to end an album on. Considering the preceding nine tracks have been more or less club oriented EBM/Sythnpop, to end it with this strange, haunting, static filled dirge of a man sending a last message to his wife as his plane crashes, and that it does so (and the song ends--well, cuts out) abruptly before he gets a chance to finish it is really jarring, beautiful and...well, final. It's an ending.
