this is one of the more understated transitions but then again the whole album is an intimate experience so nothing is really going to be too in your face. It's a fantastic album and the two songs are good (esp the second) but I think it suffers some because of the overall quality of the first song in a pretty strong category. the recurring melody between the two tracks is really well done.

two people submitted stuff from the same album, who'd have seen that coming? Classic album too. I am a big fan.

The dissonance of the first track followed by the beauty of the second makes for a powerful transition. and this album is like perfectly sequenced so you cant really go wrong here

It's not that, but it is a little bit of an indie hallelujah. It was my instant answer though, I think it's probably the best 1-2 on any album I can think of.

This is kind of cheating since its part of a suite of tracks but man this is powerful stuff… great album too.

Can't come to think of anything, but reading this doesn't make me more comfortable.

Haha, when I entered this I started off by saying "I could probably put any two tracks from Liquid Swords here and they'd work", nice.

4th Chamber might be my favourite track off the whole album, the sample is great and the instrumental is just bananas. All the verses are great too

And the back & forth between Method Man and GZA on Shadowboxin' is fantastic

the [redacted] carrying over from track to track is really good. The first track fades out for a while but given the somewhat drastic change in tone I would say that it's warranted else it would be too jarring of a switch. Both tracks are way good too

going from the slow to uplifting always makes for a good transition. The first track sets up the second perfectly. Also helps that they're both amazing songs.

Didn't realise jonny was rating these on the 10 seconds of music between the songs rather than the overall transition.

holy hell the end of the first track is ominous… especially when the song itself is pretty easy going. Really does a good job of signifying the upcoming change in tone because the second song is a straight banger.

I think you are overselling the overall transition tbh. It doesn't really evoke anything. Like it's pretty seamless but when I hear World At Large my brain doesn't automatically go to Float On. The connection isn't weak but it's not super strong either

Totally disagree, they're such complementary tracks I really can't imagine them apart. Like World At Large cannot end in any way other than that little drum fill then wham in with the guitar.

Songs off of my favorite album by my favorite band? I'm sure I could dock you for being obvious but it's just too, too good. The whole ****ing medley is but this moment right here is truly one of the highlights. It's the top transition in a masterclass of transitions.
