underworld has great starting album tracks,

[big screen satellite]

are most albums not journeys?

...some end on a high others on a low...(rhythmically not literally...)

why should an album always have to end on a barn storming track...?

and i think whats most important is that the opener is key, this is the first track you play...if its shit...you will judge the whole album thus...

its different playing live, you have to end on a high uptempo note, but for an album, it depends on how the journey has gone...and Luetin is a case in point...it sums up AHDO perfectly...
