Other albums that have closers like "her majesty"? Extremely short/slight/light where the rest of the album isn't /per se/

The Black Parade is a good example, yeah, and also points up the element of the song feeling old-timey somehow



I forgot Leaves has a closer like that. Jeez--effect must be pronounced.

BSSM closer is johnson's "they're red hot," right? Also very old timey. Huh.

Brand New - Daisy pulls a different riff on the same trope and this is a sputnikmuzak thread so hm

Correct. Haven't heard the album in a long time.

KID A if you consider that thing after 'Motion Picture Soundtrack' a true "song".
HAPPY SAD almost counts, last song is two and a half minutes long, but the next shortest song on the album is over five minutes long.
PF - ANIMALS but that one also starts with a song that's equally short.
SP - ADORE (lol jk)
FRIZZLE FRY

ANIMALS is a very good example, your caveat given. Same gesture, though: deflation? Counterpoint? Leavening?

Most Primus albums do this not just Frizzle

Neurosis - "Empty" (from Souls at Zero)



Small acoustic outro after a bunch of 5-9+ minute songs



And for a more obvious example: "Fraaip de Oiad" by Tool

Empty doesn't change the tone of any of the longer songs at all though

Yeah, I guess. At the very least though, it abandons the more "metallic" nature of the rest of the album for something quieter and more reflective

discerning tone-transformation might be tough if possible, so "short and not loud where the other stuff is mostly long and/or mostly loud" works. good stuff folks

Also



"The Power to Believe IV: Coda" by King Crimson



Part of a song series that runs through the course of the album, but it provides a peaceful conclusion to a (mostly) turbulent-sounding record

Undergrowth by Caligula's Horse is a closer in this vein and I love it

prefab sprout's debut has an interesting one--maybe not quite a fit; it's a reprise. but such a cool weird anticlimax. I feel like there's hip-hop/r&b albums I know...
