Paul is dead, man, miss him...

Listening to albums backwards is bizarre.

I don't mean backwards in the "schnurfty ahbelah bfnurfty Satan is your sweet master wschnumpfy elab ablab buy more bananas" way (aka: backmasking). I guess it's more in the play-songs-in-reverse- order way.

It's just odd to hear things in such an order.

Especially when it starts out with things like hidden tracks and there are 10 minutes of silence between one song and the next (that'd be Placebo a couple times, wouldn't it... Bonus points if you can guess the albums and songs there). Or when the intro song is the final one, like Welcome to the Monkey House. Or basically any of the Ministry of Sound mixed albums, which makes them generally even worse (yet somehow their freebie CDs that came with the mag were of a far better quality in terms of what was mixed and sampled from. Odd that).

That completes Wednesday's random musings.
