The bookend track.
Indicating that was a concept album all along.

It is over.
It started off OK but, by the second half, the singer's total lack of commitment started to turn it into a chore.
Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it.

Well, when I was 13 or so, I borrowed this from my teacher Ms. Wilbraham who was the youngest teacher in school (20 years old - good God!) and who was beloved of all - slackers, nerds, bullies, losers, cool kids - everyone!
She playfully nagged me for about three years to give it back and in the end (lower 6th) I did.
It was an important album for me.
Introduced via some channel about the same time as The Residents and TG etc.
I don't expect that it's stood the test of time like some journey through the garden of desperation-crap by Bruce Boresteen though.

I honestly, genuinely, really, don't know why I bother.
You lot can just sign up for an eternal timeshare chalet up each other's b*mholes for all eternity for all I care.

I was about 7 when I realised people had different tastes to me, and had difference experiences that colour their prejudices tastes just as they do for myself.
I can't remember a single track on this album. This album was Manscaper.*
*Manscape by Wire, I heard the CD version once, it had like 15 tracks, all of which were in themselves perfectly fine if bland little 4 minute tracks, after about 4 they all started to sound the same, and I couldn't tell them apart, well I say bland, sort of so bland you couldn't remember the intro to the song while it was actually on.
Maybe if I'd have heard the shorter LP, listened to each side in different sessions and been in better mood I may have enjoyed it. But I didn't. So for me this is the textbook example that 8 boring 3 minute tracks is just as bad as whole side track Prog rock boreoaphone.

I have an lengthy response to the above post CMD-X/CMD-Vd in TextEdit.
I will not post it unless further goaded.
There are a number of aspects to yesterday's voting that got on my w*ck and none of them are to do with what you describe above.
