i found it interesting comparing the abrupt ending of this song to the one in "Silence", the first song on Portishead's new album, "Third", which was released 2 weeks ahead of Narrow Stairs. No offence to DCFC fans (for I am one myself) but I would say that Portishead used the sudden ending with much more artistic connotation. IMHO Pity and Fear would sound better fading out.

I got it off of Amazon, thought something went wrong with the download and contacted them about re-downloading the track. Guess I can stop emailing their support now.

I was wondering about that loud pop at the end. It scared the crap out of me the first time I heard this song.

It seems abrupt endings are the new fade-out endings.

lol. i dont get how the ending of a song can make you hate it. if you like the rest, what's the point in hating it because of the ending?

Wahoo for tapes! This is why they should still manufacture them. A much more personal and characteristic way of recording. Instead of "write and delete" digital. Eurgh!

the ending is supposed to be like that. its called being original and not super predictable like most bands.

The ending was a result of a tape breaking. They liked the way it sounded, and kept it that way... (someone asked him on Xbox live...)
