River Cross

Agree with many, best closer since All or None. Not that it had a lot of competition, either.

Reminds me a lot of many Peter Gabriel I love. Although, I will say I can see why some have voiced their concerns about Matt's drumming here - I also think some simpler drumming would've been more suited for the nature of this song, but it really doesn't bother me that much. I can live with how it is and I love it as it is.

I love inside job as a closer .

I like "The End" better, maybe "Inside Job" too.

This one isn't really hitting the spot for me so far -- this kind of droney prayer-chant thing that Eddie does from time to time just isn't really my cup of tea.

This is infinitely better than those songs.

I don't agree at all, I think this is a nothing song, characteristic of Eddie's solo writing from the last 10 years or so, just dolled up in the slightly more compelling production of this new record.

I don't really feel strongly about arguing on behalf of any of the other songs, though, so...okay.

[stip]

This is the 4th best closer.

[VinylGuy]

I would say this one is the best closer since Parting Ways. I love both All Or None and Inside Job, but this one feels different, new, uplifting...its just an amazing closer.

[ghost]

Hmm...third from the bottom for me.

Stupid Mop is crucial to Vitalogy

Yes. And it's not a bad closer, either. It's unhinged, but it grooves.

it's the only thing I want so much

On what basis does Stupid Mop not count? It's on the tracklisting, not a hidden track. It's inarguably the final song on the album, even if you'd prefer it wasn't.

[PHATJ]

I’ve only listened to Stupid Mop like five times from start to finish. I don’t care if it’s considered a real song or not.
