Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope:''' The last song in an album is also its longest.
* '''Straight''': Alice records an album titled ''Big Bad''. Each track ranges from three to six minutes, except the final track, ''Starscream'' (8:52).
* '''Exaggerated''': ''Big Bad'' has tracks between two and three minutes, but the last track is over seventeen minutes long.
* '''Downplayed''': ''Starscream'' is the longest track, but only by about thirty seconds.
* '''Justified''': ''Big Bad'' is a concept album, ending on a long, climactic piece about a power struggle and its aftermath.
* '''Inverted''':
** The longest song goes first.
** The shortest song goes last.
* '''Subverted''': ''Starscream'' is the longest song on the album. However, it is followed by a short hidden track.
* '''Double Subverted''': ...which itself is followed by a hidden track even loner than ''Starscream''.
* '''Parodied''':
** ''Big Bad'' has two songs: a two minute first track and a thirty-eight minute finale.
** ''Starscream'' has deliberately obvious {{Padding}} to squeak past the length of the next longest track.
* '''Zig Zagged''': The last track is in a three way tie for longest on the album.
* '''Averted''': The last song on the album is not the longest.
* '''Enforced''':
** Alice's record label is worried the length of ''Starscream'' will alienate new fans, and puts it at the end to ensure the audience listens to everything else first.
** Alice loves ''Starscream'' in its full-length glory, and chooses to end the album on a high note.
* '''Lampshaded''': ''Big Bad's'' final track is called ''The Long One''.
* '''Invoked''': A character in the album's story [[ReadingAheadInTheScript knows they die at the end of the album]], so they stall as long as possible in the last song.
* '''Defied''': Alice interludes before the last track, "that song was pretty long, let's end on a quick one."
* '''Discussed''': In the album sleeve, Alice explains how she came up with an order for the already completed tracks.
* '''Conversed''': Bob and Charlie try to remember which of Alice's albums end on their longest track.
