in TODAY'S WORLD having a long intro would NEVER fly

>song has a long drawn out spoken word outro
>there's no version without it

At least they were honest and called the intro something different.

>long song
>it's actually normal length and there's a hidden track that plays after minutes of silence

I hate this shit, who ever thought it was a good idea?

it was kinda cool in the CD era if the true runtime of the track wasn't on the back cover, a genuine hidden track surprise.

beyond that it's a garbage idea

>song contains excerpt from a movie

>song contains exerpt from a movie that is as long as the song itself

>song has brief but crunchy intro
>Rest of the song is not as good

I know it's a movie soundtrack but half the album is spoken dialogue from the film.

That was Moore. He kept doing it on the Chroma Key and OSI albums after he left DT.
DT also kept doing it for a while after Moore left but stopped by the mid 2000s.

Any song longer than 5 min, has no business existing.

Or the opposite.

My local classics station plays Layla all the time and they always play the version with the half hour long outro that makes me wanna throw hands.

>Any song longer than 5 min, has no business existing.

>song has long ass outro that only works on the full ep
