[Norah]

Immortality is not an album closer, no matter how badly you want it to be.

[PHATJ]

Immortality is not an album closer, no matter how badly you want it to be.

True, but stupid mop is just so stupid.

[Norah]

You can't just revise reality to suit your needs. Rank them with Stupid Mop or don't rank them at all.

[PHATJ]

Is realease really a closer? Or All Those Yesterdays? I mean, there are songs that follow those too.

[Norah]

Yeah, but Stupid Mop isn't on the same track with minutes of silence separating it.

[Norah]

You could argue that Stupid Mop should have been a hidden track instead of a closer, but that's not what it is.

[PHATJ]

Yeah, but Stupid Mop isn't on the same track with minutes of silence separating it.

Sounds like inconsequential technicalities.

[BurtReynolds]

You need to calm the fuck down

[Norah]

Also on the Yield LP hummus isn't even included.

[Norah]

Yeah, but Stupid Mop isn't on the same track with minutes of silence separating it.

Sounds like inconsequential technicalities.

Sounds like a deliberate artistic decision.

[PHATJ]

Yeah, but Stupid Mop isn't on the same track with minutes of silence separating it.

Sounds like inconsequential technicalities.

Sounds like a deliberate artistic decision.

So your defining characteristic of a song is whether or not it has its own track distinction? Hmmm.

[LetMeSleep]

If you lose StupidMop because it's shite, where does Lightning Bolt end?

[Norah]

Yeah, but Stupid Mop isn't on the same track with minutes of silence separating it.

Sounds like inconsequential technicalities.

Sounds like a deliberate artistic decision.

So your defining characteristic of a song is whether or not it has its own track distinction? Hmmm.

Not the defining characteristic of a song, but the defining characteristic of an album closer. Hummus, Master/Slave, and Stupid Mop are all songs. But it would be disingenuous to say that there's no difference between placing a song to start the final track of an album and placing a song after several minutes of silence, hidden away at the end,

What you call disengenous some may call arbitrary.

But it's not arbitrary at all! The artist made the choice deliberately, knowing the album would flow differently one way or the other. That's the opposite of arbitrary.

Child, I personally don't care either way. In fact, I'd tend to agree with you. But Stupid Mop still sucks.

So rank it last?
