Any songs where it's amazing or perfect... except for that one part that sticks out like a sore thumb?

    My wife is a music nerd, so I asked her this question. Her answer: Summer Nights from “Grease”. The entire song is perfect for what it is, except for the very last word. John Travolta switches to his falsetto range to sing the word “nights” in a style that reminds me of the Bee Gees, and it just doesn’t fit with all the vocals that came before it. It’s literally a sour note to end what’s otherwise a perfectly good song.

    Method Man is one of Wu-Tang’s best rap songs but it starts with a lengthy and disturbing section where the various members take turns describing how they’d torture people. Method Man ends the section with arguably the worst method.

    It’s pretty neat I guess and is supposed to show you how depraved Method Man’s character is supposed to be. But when you listen to it like 20 times it just gets old fast. I don’t wanna hear about rusty screwdrivers again…

    Highway 61 Revisited could have been my favorite Bob Dylan song, except for that damn slide whistle.

      There are a few songs that I like, but then are just ruined by out-of-nowhere rapping right in the middle, yeah.

    It’s not that it sounds bad, but NIN’s Hurt has that loud af riff that I have to prepare my ears for every time

    Almost all the songs I know of that are good, except one part, generally the bad part is just random noise or repetition at the end of the song that just grates on you the more you hear it.

    I wouldn’t say it ruins it, but the really obvious splice edit in the third verse of She Loves You is jarring for me every time.

      Yes! The final verse of Strawberry Fields, too.
      Once you notice it, oof.

        1:22, right when Lennon sings ‘Pride can hurt you, too’, the cymbal sound changes noticeably.

          It’s hard to tell.

    The Fall Out Boy remix of Hand Crushed By A Mallet by 100 Gecs (https://spotify.link/Vtwt9T0DhDb) is absolutely fantastic, a brilliant pop punk cover right up until the end when it’s just melted into absolute fucking noise. I get it, it’s Gecs. But just let it be a good cover - please.

    Looks like they did get the message with their most recent album as it’s a lot more listenable.

    Saved this post, this weekend I should try my hand at making edited versions of a couple of the songs to try and remove the parts people think are shitty.

    Shit I got nothing for this. I listen to a lot of music, but the weird, jarring parts that others don’t enjoy are usually written for me. When La Mala Ordina by clipping. broke down into terrible noises at the end, my wife thought something had happened to our speaker. She thought the echo had gone fucking haywire mid song. I was rocking the fuck out to the terrible noises >_>

    Panic! At The Disco’s ‘I Write Sins Not Tragedies’

    I originally listened to the version where they censored the word ‘god’, which is stupid on its own but the songs a banger.

    Now when i listen to how he goes like 3 octaves higher for the single word god, its just jarringly out of place. Which, might be the point? Its still annoying.

    This song would be great if only there weren’t any Machine Gun Kelly passages in it.

    First thing that comes to mind is Pink Floyd - Echoes. One of the greatest tracks ever, but that bit in the middle is kind of grating. Maybe if you’re tripping hard enough it’s not that bad…
