Last track...long pause...hidden track. Why?

scomatsho [Edit] [Delete] 13:42, 21 June '12

Can someone please explain this to me. Over the years I've never understood why albums have the last track and then tag on a hidden track after a long pause. There seems to be few albums this year still using this technique. I will always miss them off my MP3 player because I can't be arsed to sit there for a minute waiting for the next track or have to start fiddling with the controls whilst biking or walking. The second track often doesn't have a name so you don't know what to call it. Sometimes you love one and not the other and want them separate. If the track is worthy of inclusion on the album then give it a fucking number or save it for an EP or single B-side. I know the recession is on and people have bigger issues but why?
