Should I listen to this album?

I personally am a big fan of the "last song" sounding song being the second to last song and then putting something irreverent and fun as the last track lmao

its the same way i'd think about concerts. you don't end on the farewell song you do an encore after! and s*** is fun af! and the reason you do that is everyone leaves thinking wow that was fun

I like stuff where it feels like an epilogue or a post-script, or something intentionally minor to offset a massive work, or something intentionally more fun and upbeat to offset a darker work, or 'Concept's over now, want to hear the hardest beat ever?'

Whatever way it is, I'm a huge fan of this approach to final tracks that divert from your expectations in some way

Examples:
My Body is a Cage - Arcade Fire
After Hours - The Velvet Underground
Live at Dominoes - The Avalanches
Semena Mertvykh - Boards of Canada
Untitled 08 - Kendrick Lamar
Her Majesty - The Beatles
The Maid We Messed - Matt Elliott (20 minute long drum & bass track after a depressing folk album)
Riot! - Earl Sweatshirt

I wish I could remember more off the top of my head but I love it when it happens

this is an amazing album if you turn it off at the last track. literally no misses on that s*** save for the very last song

Good Night is a poor closer, relative to the rest of Graduation.

My hot take is that Kanye’s weakest attribute when it comes to album-making is closing tracks. He’s never been exceptionally great at them in my opinion

Run The World desn't fit the sound of the album at all. And to make it worse, she put it as the last song when the previous track is I Was Here that works perfectly as a closing song
