What track mars an otherwise perfect album?

bobbyb5 · 2017-07-11T01:25:12-04:00

What tracks do u think a great album would be better off without? I do this in my head all the time, but I'm afraid other people might not know what I'm talking about. I find that on even my favorite albums theres usually one (actually just as often two) tracks that just seem subpar compared to the rest of the album. You just wish they weren't fucking there. Theyre just not up to par. And are the ones you like to skip over. The album would just be more perfect without them. I wont list all of MY choices, because theres 100s, but I'll use this as an example simply because I was thinking about it today as I listened to it. This is just an example of what I mean: Tapestry. Carole King. Would be better without the track "Beautiful ".

I agree with Elvis Presley and America. I'm not huge on Promenade from that record either, but overall a very good album.

Agree about Elvis, but Promenade is one of my favourites from that album actually.

Tears and Lessons are the duds for me on 2112.

I can understand 'Tears.'

But 'Lessons' is an absolutely killer track. The progression from the wonderful acoustic verse to the absolute scream of the distortion guitar in the chorus is fantastic -- and even without that, the whole song would be worth five stars just for the bass line alone, one of Geddy's best, which for Geddy Lee is really saying something. And that he can lay that vocal over the top of that bass line is nothing short of superhuman. Dude's a beast and 'Lessons' is Exhibit A as proof!
