David Bowie - ( Low )

[joethelion]

well no - they're not in a different order (save for 1.Outside)

but I mean, I don't want to say that like "Clearly track "y" serves as a good opener for the second half" when it may not be in that position on the album

know what I mean?

but here's one example about the importance of the separation between halves of his albums:
Scary Monsters has an opening and a closing track - "It's No Game" part one is the first song, and part two ends the album. There's an incredible song in the middle of the album called "Teenage Wildlife" ...which you could say is kinda like "Heroes" part two. But you kinda ignore the track when it's merely in the middle of the album, and I am almost positive that it's the first track on the second half of the LP.

does that make any sense?
Teenage Wildlife should be the intro track for the album, but it can't be b/c of "It's No Game", and it wouldn't make sense to have them not sandwhich the album.

but yea - Scary Monsters is a great album, and you probably already know at least two of the songs on it (Ashes to Ashes & Fashion)
