Favorite Album Endings

There are various types of album closers: those that combine everything from the beginning of the album (Recharging the Void), the last punch in the face (Dyers Eve), the standout best song of the album (Hallowed Be Thy Name), the melancholy instrumental outro (No Dreams Breed in Breathless Sleep), and many other types!
These are my favorite album finishers! Enjoy!

1.Vektor - Terminal Redux
2.Death - Symbolic
3.Metallica - Ride The Lightning
4.Megadeth - Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?
5.Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast
