I had a debate on Reddit a while ago asking what's up with the Money track on the album. (For me) it really didn't work following great gig, it just didn't flow it's just too much too soon after the calm end of great gig...
It really divided debate with a lot of people agreeing with me that it doesn't flow and many having no issue with it.
But then an older wiser Reddit user said it actually fits perfectly because the album was made for vinyl not streaming.... The first half of the album up to great gig are on side 1 and side 2 starts with Money.
They said what would happen was you would come out of great gig and then there would be a pause while you got up and went over and flipped the vinyl over.
This pause makes you eager to start the next track so when Money with higher energy comes on you're in the perfect place for it. You're up, you're moving, you're keen for the next track so it fits perfectly.
They suggested I pause after great gig for 30 seconds and then carry on with the album.
I think this really works, it completely changed my view on Money and made me realise it actually fits perfectly it's exactly what you want after a pause.
What do you think?
Edit: because this got so popular shoutout to u/djlawson1000 who was the wise Redditor that told me about the album experience on vinyl
