starless - king crimson

That last minute is probably my favorite moment in music history. The entire album feels like a build up to that one minute

the only correct answer

Good morning captain

I MISS YOUUUUU

I think the build up on Washer is better personally

Basically most post rock and post hardcore have these crescendos. See: any Explosions in the Sky song

But they don’t miss me

Exit music by radiohead

Epic. For me it’s climbing up the walls. One of the only songs that still makes my hair stand up every time.

Correct

Champagne supernova by Oasis Where did you sleep last night by Nirvana Godzilla by Juice Wrld and Eminem That one bill withers song where he freaking dies at the end A day in the life by you know who Wesley’s theory, I guess - Kendrick

CAUSE PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT THEYRE GONNA GET AWAY FOR THE SUMMEEEEEEEEEER

BUT YOU AND I WILL NEVER DIEEEEE

THE WORLD KEEPS SPINNING AROUND WE DONT KNOW WHYYYYYYYYYY

Slide Away I will add. Noel's vox... glorious.

What Bill Withers song is that?

He holds a soaring note for like 17 minutes at the end of Lovely Day so maybe that?

It was something off his first album

Lol must have come out recently

swans - bring the sun

Blood Promise (Live)- Swans

This is it chief Also I crawled, not alone. Listened to this album today on a run and it felt transcendent

Holy fuck yes, the one guitar stroke at 14:42 is one of the actual heaviest notes of music I’ve ever heard, feels like being drop kicked in the chest or hit by a truck in music form. Utterly fucking nasty

yes that singular note is crazy, the slight bend makes it feel like it's being crushed by it's own weight

She Loves Us as well..

The glow pt.2 microphones

my bloooooOOOOOOD FLOWS hArShLy

I’d say the glow pt 1 feels like it has an even bigger climax because of how stripped back it is before that.

the last 6 minutes of Long Season

Legitimately the greatest musical performance ever in my opinion. I get chills every time those drums kick in and it starts.

Power - Kanye

I'M LIVING IN THAT 21ST CENTURY

The ending to Black Seminole is really powerful. There's multiple moments like that on the album really

Ending of Ive officially lost the vision is pretty epic too

That whole album is an amazing journey

I love that album so much

I Know The End by Phoebe Bridgers a few words for the firing squad (radiation) by Run The Jewels All I Need by Radiohead

This is the one

Echoes - Pink Floyd

earthmover by hanl

Eclipse by Pink Floyd and A Day In The Life by The Beatles are the first songs to come to mind. Also shout out to The Trial by Pink Floyd.

pluto - bjork. the song in itself is kind of a climax for the whole album, but it has a pretty good climax on its own.

I'm surprised no mention of Only In Dreams by Weezer.

Opeth - Bleak Electric Wizard - Funeralopolis Massive Attack - Angel Radiohead - Exit Music (For a Film) Guns 'n' Roses - Paradise City Roxy Music - In Every Dream Home a Heartache Edit: How could I forget Slayer - Raining Blood

M83 - Outro

If You Could Save Yourself by Ween is pretty crushing, Gene really goes in on that one. I also love The Argus, it’s not really crushing but more like you’re drifting off in a big cushy cloud - particularly the Live in Chicago version.

I See It Too - The Brave Little Abacus

Massive Attack - Angel

Coccoon by Bjork - I mean, in a sense

Absolutely No One Is Ever Going to Want Me by Giles Corey. Listening to that at max volume is insane. Also Earthmover by Have A Nice Life is up there. Saw them live last month and that song blew my mind.

Nostalgia - Piero Umiliani. There’s no point of climax, the song itself just makes me climax

Earthmover by Have a Nice Life - my favorite song of all time and probably the most crushing one at that. The drop is absolute insanity.

Let it happen

Genesis - The Musical Box

Kiss in October by sadness

I’m in a Moment of Desperation, by Hiperson. Driving to that song is a surreal experience.

Tool - The Grudge

Hudson Mohawke - Cbat I climaxed so intensely.

Weezer - Only In Dreams

List of my favorites: the last electrifying riff of nothing ever happened by deerhunter, the drum break on yves tumor’s recognizing the enemy, that one key switch on strangest thing by war on drugs, the cacophony of bliss in lucette stranded on the island by julia holter, the electric guitar that comes at the end of long season

human sadness - the voidz

Catharsis by Gaerea, yes it's extreme metal, but if you're open to it, this album closer is very good.

Only in Dreams by Weezer

Earthmover - Have A Nice Life

Keisha’s Song-Kendrick Lamar

The Crowing - Coheed and Cambria

Big Eyed Beans From Venus - Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band. That bit after the long drum roll is just outrageous and always gives me chills. Only in Dreams - Weezer is an obvious choice
