Manics closing tracks

[andy]

Listened to satt on the way home from work and it struck me how "throw away" winter lovers is as a big bombastic cliched rock song. It reminded me of how I feel about symm and then I thought of manics opening and closing tunes, and how they differ. I can't think of a bad opening track on an album, yet closing tracks are very hit n miss (more so miss). I'm going to abbreviate everything here for ease (read lazy)

Gt - ctrr is a great tune - hit
Gats - gats is pompous overblown rush lite fodder - miss
Thb - pcp - ace - hit
Emg - nsaf - ace - hit
Timttmy - symm - generic stadium rock - miss
Kye - foswfmc - generic grrr angry power punk - miss
Lb - ca - worst track on the album, ruins perfection - miss
Satt - wl - see foswfmc - miss
Jfpl - wlw - poignant - hit
Pfaym - dbe - generic power pop rubbish - miss
Rtf - 30 year war - boring - miss

So IMO 4 hits and 7 misses. Why do they end on such a damp note?
