Bands that consistantly put out albums with a great closing track

[allisterkid]

If this has been done before, my bad sorry.

I was wondering what artists you guys think have put out a handful of albums that have an excellent closing track.

Alkaline Trio is my pick, as I was listening to them and realized that they almost always close their albums with good songs. Sorry About That on Goddamnit is one of the better tracks on the entire album in my opinion, and a great acoustic song. Maybe I'll Catch Fire ends with Radio which is a fucking classic in my eyes, and the eyes of most Alkaline Trio fans. Crawl on From Here To Infirmary is just one of many awesome tracks on their best album I'd say. Good Mourning ends with Blue In The Face. I didn't get near as into that album as Maybe I'll Catch Fire or From Here To Infirmary, but it's still a solid album and that track does more for me than any of the others. Finally, the last track on their new album, Agony And Irony is rad after just one listen.

So the only one that I didn't care for was the final track on Crimson, which was just a shit album in my opinion.

What other bands or artists do you guys think follow this trend of ending albums with a gem of a track?

[Ouch]

Korn is the closest thing I can think of sadly.

Iron & Wine: Muddly Hymnal, Passing Afternoon, Flightless Bird American Mouth

[TheOtherAndrew]

Good call on Alk3.

I would say Bomb the Music Industry!

[versus_god]

Because Syke! Life Is Awesome.

And Smoke is probably the best song on Crimson.

static prevails- ended with "anderson mesa"
clarity- ended with "goodbye sky harbor"
bleed american- ended with "my sundown"
futures- ended with "23"
chase this light- ended with "dizzy"

they're all pretty strong closing tracks.

[FeynmanWannabe]

This.
I knew you would approve. :thumbup:

[googirl8907]

I think all of Anberlin's closing tracks are pretty solid.

[IWasaCamera]

I knew you would approve. :thumbup:
I don't know of an artist or band that writes closers anywhere near Beam's caliber. Genius.

[slenygoodbi]

relient k. namely When I Go Down and Deathbed. Deathbed is as good as closing tracks get.

and for more traditional christian music fans, David Crowder Band is a goodie as well.

I find it interesting Jesse counts off at the beginning of the last track on each album.
Great songs though.

[anonymousgirl]

I think all of Anberlin's closing tracks are pretty solid.

^^ Yeah. And Evanescence.

I need to find new bands. I don't listen to a lot of bands actually, usually just the one that's my favorite at the time plus the alternative radio station and a few of my other favorite songs.

[Regards]

Both of As Cities Burn's CDs have excellent endings.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

Iron & Wine

[2 fly and shy]

Latterman.

yesssss!

[hellogorgeous]

Great songs though.


I think it's just because they are acoustic, well Handcuffs is too in the beginning for the most part.
But I agree with this, I like how each song winds you down from the album.

[AlternateToLife]

Iron and Wine
Death Cab For Cutie
The Beatles
Jimmy Eat World

are the four that came to mind.

[IWasaCamera]

No disrespect to any of the other acts mentioned here but Iron & Wine is THE answer.
