Talk:List of albums containing a hidden track

Idea of this list
The idea is to create a dynamic list of albums containing a hidden track. Detailed information on hidden tracks can be put in the List of hidden tracks. The syntax of the article could be made as in this article. Should there be a list on both album name and name of the artist? Brz7

Dixie Chicks
There album "Shouldn't A Told You That" (last album with Laura as lead singer) has a hidden track "Boo Hoo" it says so here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shouldn%27t_a_Told_You_That (a bloddy pangien (talk) 23:47, 28 July 2010 (UTC))

List of hidden tracks
The aim is to make a dynamic list of hidden tracks, sorted by name in alphabetic order, shortly describing the track (a longer description would allow the creation of an article on the hidden track and a short description plus link in this list). Maybe later a list of hidden tracks by the name of the band could be made? Cross-references to the article List of albums containing a hidden track are welcome. Brz7

Article Title
'List of albums containing a hidden track' I think should be titled 'List hidden tracks (by artist)'

Consistant style/second list
I noticed that the second list (sorted by album) is a lot shorter than the first. I'm going to try and go through the first list and add anything missing from the second. Also, I'm going to try and keep a consistant style going through the listings - originally I was going to use WP:ALBUMS's style (Artist Album "Track") but as the list seems to have it's own already (Artist Album Track) I'm happy sticking with that. Anyone got any objections? Satan&#39;s Rubber Duck 17:02, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Hmm, this is going to take a lot of work. (Is that second list actually necessary? It's simple TOC doesn't even work properly.) So far, I've gone through the 0-9s and the As, having to add the majority of them to the second list. If anyone wants to jump in and help please do! Satan&#39;s Rubber Duck 17:55, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Right, culling time. Bye bye to the second list, it's unnecessary (especially as people seem to not notice it after updating the first). I'm also going to try and put a consistant style through it, trimming unnecessary info and possibly moving it to better locations. Satan&#39;s Rubber Duck 17:01, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Removed Stabilo
I was the user that added Stabilo's Happiness and Disaster album to the list. It was released on April 4, 2006. It was supposed to include a hidden track (new version of "Everybody"), but I guess the label changed its mind, and added it to the tracklist. It's no longer hidden, so I removed it from this list.

Benjamin Gate, Relient K, the pixies
Both albums (Untitled, Contact)have a hidden song, i believe... I may check this soon, but you are welcome to do so.

Also there is a hidden song after Relient K's "Jefferson Aeroplane" (on the same track). I believe. --206.54.145.254 15:46, 19 June 2006 (UTC)(not logged in)

there is a hidden track in the middle of "surfer rosa" by the pixies, too. track 12, between "vamos" and "i'm amazed." it's not listed on the sleeve at all but it's a seperate track, basically frank black saying "you fuckin' die" over and over for like 45 seconds. i'd add it in myself but i'm pretty much wiki-illiterate so someone else is going to have to do it. 68.83.24.250 23:20, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Blind Melon, Soup
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soup_%28album%29 there is an hidden track on this album. I do not own the cd so i can't check. Could someone do it and add the album to the list?

Separate pregap and last-track ones?
I think we should separate this huge list. The former ones in question are commonly called "null tracks", while the last-track ones are simply called "hidden". It will be much more readable that way and not such a nightmare to scroll down. -andy 80.129.125.167 23:20, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I like the idea. There's already Pregap so why not separate the two?  They need to be merged anyway - there are more songs here than there. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hornpipe2 (talk • contribs) 16:19, 6 April 2007 (UTC).

Recording Pregap Tracks
Is there anyway of sharing a successfull way of recording the pregap track through a computer? Ps2aphex 10:26, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

It is possible to copy pregap tracks using the program Exact Audio Copy - the problem is that not all CD Drives are able to read the pregap. After a lot of testing I eventually found one that would do it. --Ptha (talk) 14:37, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Evanescence Demise
Demise is not a hidden track. It's part of the final version of Eternal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.48.1.2 (talk) 20:22, August 26, 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, I'll remove it. And I will also remove Where Will You Go (Reprise). 12.214.76.88 01:55, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Kaki King
If anyone knows what track it is, Kaki King's Everybody_Loves_You has a hidden track at the end, and I don't think it's exactly some official song, but just some doodling in the studio. --Pyry 22:07, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

The Roots?
really, no mention of the roots? they're very notable in the hip hop world for their use of hidden tracks, on at least 3 of their albums. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.9.11.11 (talk) 22:05, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Multiple Formats
The list has multiple formats within itself. i already fixed the Insane Clown Posse albums, but i dont have time to do any others right now. the juggreserection IstKrieg! 15:51, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Category
This whole list is HUGE. Should we put this as a category instead? If there are new ones with a hidden track, it would be much simpler to categorize. Ilikepie2221 (talk) 01:20, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I would like to throw my support behind this idea as well. A category would be much easier to track and to keep orderly.  Tahamaki (talk) 07:34, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Formatting Issue
As this is a list of albums' hidden tracks, it should really be alphabetized by the album name rather than the artist name. It should only be done by the artist name if it was titled Lists of artists' hidden tracks. There are also inconsistancies with some artists listed under their surname and some under their forename. -- neon white user page talk 17:56, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Robert Plant
I just added Robert Plant's hidden track. Can someone verify the time between the tracks? 76.233.108.106 (talk) 18:02, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Split
Please This article is far too long - 140 kb and it's an incomplete list. I suggest List of albums containing a hidden track (A-M) and List of albums containing a hidden track (N-Z). —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:21, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Mika: "Life in Cartoon Motion"
The track "Happy Ending" on Mika's album "Life in Cartoon Motion" has a hidden track after it. According to it's article it is about being alone and drunk. Feel free to add it, I will not do so because I probably won't do it properly.Peeto87 (talk) 08:11, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Exodus
I added the hidden track at the end of Bedlam 1-2-3. If there is a problem with the change, please notify me. Thanks. BringMeTheSuicideSilence (talk) 05:25, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Why not make this a category?
I attempted to make this a full-blown category yesterday, but it was promptly deleted. I think this would be an excellent category, since the article is incomplete as it is, and it would be much too long if every album with a hidden track was in an article instead of a category. Peace. —MuzikJunky (talk) 05:47, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Boards of Canada hidden track
If I can remember, The Campfire Headphase did not have a hidden track. It did, however, have a Japanese bonus track.

And if I can remember, Twoism has a hidden track called "1986 Summer Fire". 70.16.183.172 (talk) 01:16, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

DODGY - Free Peace Sweet
Unless the last 2.08 is part of the 14th & final listed track 'Homegrown' it seems to me there is another seperate track that completes the album. It starts at 3.43 and ends at 5.51..i'm not sure, maybe doesn't count as a proper track as such... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.157.130.156 (talk) 13:49, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

It should be included though i would of thought so --213.83.125.225 (talk) 12:51, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Midtown- Save the World, Lose the Girl
I just bought this CD a couple of weeks ago and after the last song ended, I let it play. I found that after about eight minutes or so, another song started playing. I have never heard anyone say anything about this hidden track, nor do I know it's name. However, it is still there. Should this be added to the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.212.87.203 (talk) 22:56, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, i think it should --213.83.125.225 (talk) 12:50, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Deep Freeze
I recently repurchased Urban Hymns as an MP3 download, because my ripped copy was CBR and had no embedded album art. I was surprised to find that "Come On" and "Deep Freeze" have been separated, and the long block of silence between them removed.

If anyone has a citation for this, it would be good. — 188.29.165.252 (talk) 08:25, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Chameleon Circuit
Chameleon Circuit's first album has a track called 'We Are The Daleks' that is unlisted on the album art but is on the digital version. Could someone add it? --94.173.148.163 (talk) 18:45, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Inflationary use of "hidden track"
I see pieces like the coda of "Jugband Blues" by Pink Floyd or the "Ticket to Ride" snippets on "Dark Side Of The Moon" referred to as hidden tracks. That's complete nonsense, in my opinion. Why should music which is doubtlessly part of the whole song, but separated by one or two seconds - or played in the background, be a hidden track? Then the final chord of Deep Purple's "Child in Time" and The Beatles' "A Day In The Life" would also be hidden tracks. --217.232.47.221 (talk)

N.E.R.D - Fly Or Die
I was pleased to find the hidden tracks in Plaid's Rest Proof Clockwork and Royskopp's Melody AM listed, meaning I was surprised to not find the hidden tracks in N.E.R.D's Fly Or Die listed. Track 7 "Wonderful Place" contains hidden track "Waiting for You" and Track 8 "Drill Sergeant" contains hidden track "Preservation". These are not listed on the official track listing, but there is not a long period of silence before them. Track 12 "Chariot Of Fire" contains hidden track "Find My Way"; this does have a long period of silence before it, and of course is not listed on the official track listing. Great song by the way! --86.157.84.49 (talk) 17:22, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

"Fogtown"
"Fogtown" by Michelle Shocked on Short Sharp Shocked is a hidden track.

Size split?
 Split  - Article is over 100 kB, and should be split by letter. Thoughts? Suggestions?--Jax 0677 (talk) 18:10, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
 * This article appears well looked after, is open ended i.e. will keep growing and there is no real prospect of reducing the article by other means, so I would do an article per letter, with navigation template etc. Regarding timescales, I would wait until March and if there are no objections then assume concensus. Op47 (talk) 00:09, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
 * XYZ should be merged. Some sources would be nice. Otherwise, it looks like a lot of original research. -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 18:33, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
