Tracks 2 on 5 on any album are invariably the best. Most of the time. Here is some proof: Kate Bush - The Sensual World 2. Love and Anger 5. Heads We're Dancing Aqua - Aquarium 2. My Oh My 5. Doctor Jones |

2 and 5 makes 7. I think Patrick Bateman needs a B7:) but actually this thread is funny. |

i actually think there's something in this, the track 5 thing is unlikely, but tracks 1 and 2 on an album (not really IDM, more rock) often have a particular quality. track 1 has to grab you by the balls tight, and not let go for three minutes. usually one of the strongest tracks in its sonic impact, but light on structure cos it's usually short. track 2 is the big one, the big epic single, the centrepiece of the album. i haven't bothered with examples because we could spend all day coming up with examples and counterexamples, it's just a very slight trend so there's no point. oh ok fuck it: reacquaint yourself with the radiohead albums... |

mappatazee > lol^^ no, seriously, it's just an impression. try checking all your albums for the best tracks, THEN see if it's always tracks 2 and 5... there has been also other topics about track 3 being undeniably the best, or track 6, or... etc. it seems like people have a tendency to seek for rules, make rules and to force things to fit in their rules (consciously or unconsciously), to avoid incertitude... they even talk about "exceptions confirming the rules", which is totally contradictory and doesn't mean anything (or if it means anything, i don't see it!!)... just accept it, you can't fit and rule everything. |

A random 6 selected from my collection (they just happen to be sitting on my desk right now): One Dove: Morning Dove White  best tracks: 1 and 2 Lucky Jim: Our Troubles End Tonight  best tracks: 3 and 5 Mark Lanegan: Whiskey For the Holy Ghost  best tracks: 5 and 7 Autechre: Tri Repetae  best tracks: 3 and 10 Pinkie Maclure: Favourite  best tracks: 2 and 5 Seefeel: Succour  best tracks: 4 and 6 So 1 out of 6. Either you are wrong or I'm just out of kilter from everybody else's reality. Either way I'm happy about it! Ha! |

Autechre: Tri Repetae best tracks: 3 and 10 pah! in fact, tri rep fits the 2 and 5 rule perfectly IMO. but as uzim said, our minds are always looking for trends, and once you've identified one you'll recognise the evidence confirming it far more readily than you'll recognise evidence disconfirming it. |

I always think that track 3 is the best. Not gonna give any examples, just accept that what I say is right, and you are wrong. |
