That doesn't ruin the album for me. It's when the last song, if you like, is really bad and sounds like either they ran out of ideas or else someone thought it would be best to stick the track at the end.
That I can understand. I especially hate it when artists use the first track on the album, reverse it, and stick it on the end of an album in an attempt to pad it out. The Soft Moon's "Zeros" does this, and I may like the album a lot, but it pisses me off that it ends the on such a lazy attempt of a song. Sure, it's a neat premise, but damn is it boring and overtly pretentious.
