All right, let's take a look at what happened here.
My biggest flaw at this point in my life was my inability to express my thoughts in words, as well as the complete lack of foresight to think before I speak.
Seeing as how all three of Oyster Man's links are dead, and I only remember one of the tracks, I'll only address that one specifically.
What I meant when I said "On a Plain doesn't have a fade-out" is that it doesn't
end on a fade-out. While it does fade out, it ends with Kurty rhythmically moaning, which I believe brings the song to a definitive end; one that I would call satisfying.
Fading out on a guitar solo is just unimaginative. That is one instance where you can tell that the guitarist could not see through his ambitions to the end, and the final product suffers for it.
Even worse, however, is fading out on a repeated chorus, or as I like to call it, "the Sting Manoeuvre". Sting even admitted that he does that because he doesn't know how to end his songs. It's both lazy and counterproductive to improvement.
However, as Sting himself teaches us, a song can be good or even great and still have a lazy ending.
Fades can be used
well, but when I say that, it's usually because it doesn't
end on the fade.
