Album Endings That Really Dissapointed.

I hate it when albums have "hidden tracks" which are really just 5+ minutes of silence, and then a joke song. All of these albums are really good, but the ending just blew.
1Between the Buried and Me
The Silent Circus


The wait at the end is bad enough, but then the bonus song is just weird.
2United Nations
United Nations


I'm not sure what they were trying to prove with Cha-Ching! but it's pretty annoying. 13 minutes of silence, and then a cash register sound.
3Unearth
The March


The last track starts out with a song, has a few minutes of STATIC (worse than silence), and then a second song.
4 Bang Camaro
Bang Camaro II


I bought this last night at one of their shows, and got the special edition. It had a 'bonus' song at the end titled 'untitled' and consists of 6 seconds of silence. The second to last song has an awesome song in the beginning, and then follows with the annoying trend of more silence, then a 30 second song. And then more silence.
5Dillinger Escape Plan
Calculating Infinity


Variations on a Cocktail Dress starts out nice and mean, stops 2 minutes in, has silence for 4 1/2 minutes, and then plays (grating) samples for the remainder. It builds suspense, and fits with their style, but doesn't sit well with me.
6Mastodon
Blood Mountain


Another great album that just ends with 18 minutes of silence, only to be broken by Josh Homme giving us a message. Awesome.
7Coheed and Cambria
Good Apollo...No World For Tomorrow


Its the ending of the saga, and I suppose is a fitting ending, but it sounds like a rejected Elton John song. That, and compared to The Final Cut, the solo isn't that great either.
8Rodrigo Y Gabriela
Rodrigo Y Gabriela


The last two songs on here feel like lesser versions of the songs in the beginning of the CD. Coming out of the two covers Stairway and Orion, more of the same isn't exactly what I wanted to hear.
9Tera Melos
Tera Melos


The first half of the record is genius, and really shows what the band is capable of in the future. The last 30 minute track is just noise, and I've never been able to listen to the entire thing.
10Protest the Hero
Fortress


Kezia had an absolutely beautiful ending with an acoustic guitar solo. Fortress ends with what seems like the beginning of a climax, only to be cut short in the middle of a measure. I guess it's part of the point they're making in the song, but they could have done it more smoothly.
