gts14 1,577 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Many artists seem to relly enjoy putting an intro and one or two interludes in their albums. For example: - Xtina has an intro in every album since Stripped and 2-3 interluudes in Stripped - Bionic - Halsey has 1 intro and 1 interlude in HFK - Tinashe has 5 INTERLUDES and 1 outro in her debut Aquarius and 3 in Joyride I personally dislike interludes. Sometimes they're there to introduce a new theme in the album but I find them so anticlimatic. And I hate intros. The opening track of an album is supposed to be memorable, strong, set the mood for the whole album and make the listener want to go on with listening but intros are just so... meh.. so unnecessary for an album's cohesiveness. Oh and sometimes artists have a limited number of tracks for an album and prefer to fill the spots with an 1-minute interlude instead of a song.....

VasilisVas 5,132 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Tove Lo does this, too, and has done it on all of her albums if I’m not mistaken. It’s not really something I’m into. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolidSnake 2,804 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 It ruins the flow of an album, You always have to press skip on them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Nook 37,805 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Yes as long as they sound creative or fit with the concept and theme of the album, and to me it’s an enjoyable experience when listening to the album from beginning to end Uh Red Wine...

High Princess 100 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Depends on how they fit with the album honestly. Sometimes they're great, others just a skip-able mess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Louvre 3,423 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Beyoncé has some amazing interludes: Yoncé, Ghost, Bow Down are all three among the best tracks on ST. It's said the map of the world is on you. The moon gravitates around you. The seasons escape you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryusei 61,025 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I like them when they feel in place which is mostly not the case lol there is this one Japanese band that I listen to, that has 3 interludes and a "postlude" with 4 songs on a mini album and the songs are connected so well through the interludes that it's amazing to listen to. So yeah it needs to be done right. Most of the time they feel quite pointless though... Musery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hades 27,980 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 The only intro i ever liked was Lotus by Xtina. Then again i didn't like the rest of the album. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmNotHere1997 25,824 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I love interludes mainly because they make listening to an album a full experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma 7,182 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I don’t know any but they sound cool, the problem is when you put your whole library on shuffle and you have to skip them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordEnigma 11,313 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I do if they make sense - but if it’s just random sounds... no. Put a shorter good song in there instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordEnigma 11,313 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 LIGHT BEAMS by Tove Lo is a great intro and adds dimension to Disco Tits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elijahfan 25,768 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Not necessarily, but I do like me an album with songs that seamlessly segue into one another. I think it's a nice experiment Gaga could pull off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
