6->''"Long songs can be tricky for an artist to deal with. They can't really be released as singles, but they also run the risk of ruining the flow of an otherwise great album. These artists got around this problem by placing their extremely long songs at the end of their album."''
7-->-- '''Music Times''', ''[[https://www.musictimes.com/articles/8601/20140810/14-albums-that-end-with-their-longest-song-bruce-springsteen-weezer-and-more.htm "14 Albums That End with Their Longest Song"]]''

9When crafting an album, most bands and artists often spend part of the time thinking on the right order for the songs, depending on the message they want to convey. One of these decisions involves [[EpicRocking the longest songs]], if they are present. The usual place for these often varies: they may go at the beginning, at the middle, or at the end of a side (in the case of multi-sided albums). However, creating a long song isn't an easy task, and your band may risk boring the listener before the album ends unless you adapt the piece to its place on the list. So bands often place the longest songs at the end of the album, often as a way to close the album on a high note.
10
11This trope comes in two variations: the longest song being placed as the last track of the album, barring {{hidden track}}s, or preceding a musical outro, a variant usually used in {{concept album}}s. For the purposes of the trope, we're defining "outro" as a musical piece that isn't structured like a song, but serves as a wrap-up or summary of the album's content[[note]]It can either be a musical piece composed of musical excerpts of other songs, or just a piece that isn't structured like a song[[/note]].
12
13Though there's definitively an overlap, this trope isn't equivalent to EpicRocking. It's possible for the longest song to be an average-length song (say, 4 or 5 minutes long, and cases of ''3'' minute songs aren't exactly unheard of) while the rest of the songs are [[MinisculeRocking still shorter than the album closer]].
14
15Some considerations for this trope:
16* We're only counting '''full-length studio albums'''. Live albums, singles, splits, compilations and {{cover album}}s fall outside of the scope of this trope, even if they may feature a possible example of the trope, due to {{padding}}, the usual live cutting, and because in compilations and splits the song order is either chronologically-based or isn't given much attention at all.
17* As for the songs themselves, the length of the track itself doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is that [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the song is the longest in the album and closes it]].
18* This trope is exclusively for albums featuring a single long song in a single track. Some albums feature a long track at the end, but the track itself is composed of two short songs separated by a long silence between them giving the sensation of a long song, which doesn't make said track an example.
19* Also, such a long song must NOT be divided in the tracklisting. A song of 24 minutes, undivided, is an example, but a song of 41 minutes, divided in 8 tracks of shorter duration than the longest non-closing track on the album, is NOT, unless the closing track of the suite is the overall longest song, in which case, it qualifies.
20* The track listing being considered is the original tracklisting (bonus tracks added in [[LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition special editions]] or [[UpdatedRerelease reissues]] don't count for the purpose of the trope). For the record, for the tracklisting itself we take all sides as a single tracklisting, so only the last song of the last side qualifies for the trope[[note]]i.e., in an album spanning four sides A-B-C-D, only the last or next-to-last song of side D qualifies for the trope if it's the longest[[/note]].

335** ''A New World Record'' ends with "Shangri-La" (5:34)
336** While ''Secret Messages'' originally averted this trope, with "Rock 'n' Roll is King" (3:49) ending the album, the reissue restores the record to its originally intended double album tracklist, with "Hello My Old Friend" (8:37) closing the record instead

342* Music/EmersonLakeAndPalmer: ''Music/BrainSaladSurgery'' closes with the epic "Karn Evil 9" (so long that on the vinyl album, it actually starts ''halfway through side one''), although it could be argued that it's actually a suite of three (or even four) songs. When the three impressions of the suite are broken into individual tracks, the third and last impression is the longest in both the suite and the album as a result of the first impression having been split into two parts over the vinyl constraints.
343* Music/{{Equilibrium}} closes three consecutive albums with extra-long {{Instrumentals}}:
344** ''Sagas'' closes with "Mana" (16:23).
345** ''Rekreatur'' closes with "Kurzes Epos" (13:02).

376** The original ''[[Music/JoesGarage Joe's Garage, Act I]]'' ended with its longest track, "Lucille Has Messed My Mind Up" (7:17). [[note]]Averted when the album was later re-released as a single album with ''Joe's Garage, Acts II & III''.[[/note]]
377** ''[[Music/LondonSymphonyOrchestra London Symphony Orchestra, Vol. I]]'' closed with the 27:11 "Mo 'n Herb's Vacation."

395** ''Bleed Like Me'' ends with "Happy Home" (6:00)

399** ''Pop'' closes with an untitled track (14:37).
400** ''Narkopop'' closes with an untitled track (17:09).[[note]]CD only; the vinyl version has a bonus track after it that's a little shorter.[[/note]]
401* Music/{{Genesis|Band}}:
402** ''Foxtrot'' closes with "Supper's Ready" (22:57).
403** ''We Can't Dance'' closes with "Fading Lights" (10:16). Although it should be noted this is barely longer than "Driving the Last Spike" (10:08), track 3.

423* Music/GodspeedYouBlackEmperor
424** ''F♯ A♯ ∞'' closes with "Providence" (29:02) (this length includes the period of silence and the hidden track that forms the song's outro, however even if you took it out it would still be the longest song on the album. Also, on the original vinyl, this track does not exist, and "The Dead Flag Blues" is extended, making that version not an example of this trope).

426** ''Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress'' closes with "Piss Crowns Are Trebled" (13:50).

471** ''Helloween'' ends with "Skyfall" (12:11).
472* Music/HisNameIsAlive:
473** The original 4AD version of ''Mouth by Mouth'' ends with "The Dirt Eaters" (4:00 to 4:50 depending on the reissue), but reissues of the album add on "The Homesick Waltz" (4:01) after it, thus averting this.
474** ''Detrola'' closes with "I'll Send My Face to Your Funeral" (4:59).
475** "The Eclipse" (11:00) closes out ''The Eclipse''.
476** "Silver Arc Curving in the Magnetic Field" (8:11) closes out ''Patterns of Light''.
477* Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}: The soundtrack album ''The Felt'' just barely qualifies, with the final song "Variations" (6:03) being five seconds longer than the next longest song.
478* Music/TheHu: ''The Gereg'' closes with "Song of Women" (7:16), but the ''Deluxe Edition'' [[InvertedTrope inverts this]] and closes with the shortest song, an acoustic version of "Shoog Shoog" (3:51).

556** ''The Path of Totality'' ends with "Bleeding Out" (4:49).
557** A special mention to how much the band screws with this trope must be mentioned: several albums feature long songs at the end, but there are {{hidden track}}s containing even more songs embedded within the finishing track, which don't qualify for the trope[[note]]"Daddy" from ''Korn'' lasts 9:32, but there's 4:32 minutes of silence before the hidden track, "Michael and Geri" (3:26); "My Gift To You" from ''Follow The Leader'' lasts 9:12, but the hidden track [[Creator/CheechAndChong "Earache My Eye"]] lasts 6:28[[/note]].
