The 18 Ways of Beginning and Ending an Album
Whether by chance or by careful planning, there is an observable pattern to intros and outros in albums.
PopMatters breaks down 18 of them.
It’s no secret that albums have structures. Songs rarely play in a randomly determined order; artists and bandmates often agonize over the playlist for weeks or months. Radiohead, for example, notoriously bickered about running orders during the final stretch of the recording sessions for

Little fat man who sold his dream
Chubby little loser, national joke
Pathetic little fat man, no one’s bloody laughing
The clown that no one laughs at, they all just wish he’d die
So depressed at being useless, fatso takes his own life

He’s got no style, he’s got no grace
He’s banal and facile, he’s a fat waste of space
