You’re fuckin goddam right op, although rots at the end is pretty kino

very bad take. it gives the wrong tone for the start of the album. riders on the storm is the only way to end it. anywhere else and it might as well not be on it.

>Doesn't realize on vinyl both tracks are closing tracks for the a side and b side respectively, and it's far better this way
Sad, but now ya know

Digital plebs will never understand track sequencing.

Changeling is a great opener

OP here
Didn’t know that
That makes more sense, although it just doesn’t feel right to have music play after LA Woman. LA Woman is the song of the songs, an equal to The End.

And the way it returns to the beginning at the end of the song, making a full cycle, brings so much satisfaction and peace that the song couldn’t get more complete. It’s a finite and definite work of art, completely enclosed in and of itself, and the silence that commences following the end of the track should stay for a little while. All due respect to Riders on the Storm, but LA Woman just deserves to be the closer.

Btw, there isn’t a song that makes me feel happier/more confident/alpha than LA Woman. It’s just so perfect

Sunday morning on TVUN also gives the wrong tone for the rest of the album, and?

>The End
this song gives me a strange sense of complete peace with "the end". truly incredible song

Side a and side b are different enough to be whole different albums, sometimes I want to hear just side a on repeat
I feel the tracklist is well done imo

The whole album is well done. Its their best album

i'm not sure if you're agreeing with me, talking about something else or just memeing ironically trying to laugh at me

This
People who say it's s/t or Strange Days are tourists

lmao no, I am agreeing with you - tone down the paranoia. it's awesome to see people talking about great music such as those songs. I live in an area where all garbage rap and club music

>are tourists
Of course the debut is the best album. in fact its one of the best albums of all time

Basically every single song is an unironic perfection, there are not many albums like this. Maybe twentieth century fox isn't a perfection, but it's 7.5/10. Yeah, there's no other album like that

Try Backdoor Man

Yeah Backdoor Man is my second favorite after LA Woman, or maybe an equal, but it gives me a different kind of alpha-energy. Maybe it gives the same amount, but without the feeling of pure satisfaction, peace and happiness that LA Woman does

>s/t
>better than LA Woman

To repeat myself:

I love when the song comes back again to the first verse at the end of the song, because then feel that it's about a cycle, and it makes you happy, content and satisfied that all of it is perfectly enclosed in a loop. And it's a highlight of Jim's overrated-underrated poetry, and a good description of his life - a cycle of life of a freewheelin vagabond who just doesn't give a shit - he roams and wanders without any set directions, wherever the freeways may take him, and he's content with that, and with the sense of discovery and adventures the endless roam sets on you as the wanderer.
And I love the ambiguity that you don't know whether the song is about one of the many encounters the go-getter is gonna have with women and hookers of the underbelly of L.A., or about Los Angeles itself (either the song uses references to freeways, suburbs and shit as a metaphor for fucking a girl, or literally as an homage to the City

The whole song is fucking wild and a fucking trip at that
and then it ties up perfectly at the end, coming back to the first verse with the
>Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
showing that in the end, the trip wasn't that wild - it was business as usual for the fuckin cool wanderer and he will do it again and again, wherever the freeways will take him

No way. The album ends on a downer because Jim knew he was going to die.

Sunday Morning would make an awful ending to the album

where the fuck did I say that, faggot?

>downer
how was that song a downer, it was atmospheric af
>knew he was going to die
bullshit

bump

Calm down little guy, you're really startin' to cook
