I& #39;m stringing together songs that might not get fully enjoyed by the average, busy listener because they take

"Ages Places" from @wildlifectrl is one of the most potentially tragic examples of a song that might get clicked away from too early by a perusing browser of streamed music. It elevates at 1:49, *explodes* at 2:28. It& #39;s entirely glorious. (2/15) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt-dU5FOcPw">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
I get missing the tail ends of many a @sigurros song if you& #39;re quickly browsing for a zippy, instant-gratification diddy, but you& #39;re missing out in that case - especially if you didn& #39;t wait for the near-Helm& #39;s Deep transformation of "Untitled #8."

Woo-wee. If you like to be caught off guard, float through "Time Stops" from @EITS and get blasted by the 6:05 mark. I guess you& #39;d be more caught off guard if I hadn& #39;t handed you a specific time, but you get me. (4/15) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhBo0YZQAAQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Tossing on @SylvanEsso "Hey Mami" at a bar filters the patient/engaged from the impatient/anxious. As lovely as the first half of the song is, some wonder if the music was turned off ---- until the kaboom halfway through. Extraordinary production.

Few moments are more euphoric than the sudden simplification at the 2:30 mark of "HEAVEN" from @TheBlaze_Prod. It& #39;s a lot like the instance when your mom finished vaccuming the room right at the best part of a TV show.

@arcadefire has a great many build-to-the-wow tunes that would qualify for this thread, but "My Body is a Cage" might legitimately chill your skeleton when the dynamics shoot up and drums enter. Halloween playlists without this are lacking IMO. (7/15) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jdve08cG3pE">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
"A Beginning Song" from @TheDecemberists does one of my favorite things ever --- solidly convinces you the song is dying out to a relaxed finish, then jolts a late mini-build to a ya-hoo! culmination toward the very end. Terrific. (8/15) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cm6xtkX_Dvs">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
By this point in the thread, you may guess (rightly) that I actively look for these late peaks in songs, but even so, I am guilty of missing the late rewards in @MUTEMATH "Remain" until a friend showed me, despite my being familiar with the album.

"Lines" by @lil_silva makes you wait a while, picks up sort of obviously, calms down again, then more spontaneously lifts into a niftier, longer discharge. Neat knock to it!

"Don& #39;t Know When but a Day is Gonna Come" ( @brighteyesband) is like 6 dashes of Angostura bitters to the throat from start to end, but by the time 5:02 rolls around, it& #39;s easy to convince yourself you& #39;ve gotten the entire gist. Nope. (11/15) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDjo1oIPAPI">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
"Blue Light" will, unless there& #39;s no eternity, forever be the most under-sung song on Silent Alarm. If you don& #39;t stick around, you don& #39;t get to hear @MCH_Tong go bonkers, and that& #39;s your mistake people.

Skipping around @TEEDinosaurs music too hastily is generally a bad idea to begin with, as he& #39;s inordinately loaded with surprise zags. BUT. *Definitely* don& #39;t forget to wait for the drums on "Don& #39;t You Forget About Me." THE TITLE TELLS YOU NOT TO.

There& #39;s still time, but I& #39;ve yet to meet another soul who both (1). knows this Guster album front-to-back *AND* (2). enjoys "Come Downstairs And Say Hello" more than all the other tracks. Are there others who love long builds toward magic?? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👾" title="Alien monster" aria-label="Emoji: Alien monster"> (14/15) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpHTxkRKVF8">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
