I think it's an underrated and very important part of putting together an album that, often times, goes overlooked or not given enough thought.
How do you go about sequencing your albums? Are there things that you do? Methods you use that you find useful/effective in getting an album to flow -- the right way?
Some things I try to do:
• I try to avoid putting songs next to each other that are in the same key.
• Because I tend to mix up styles on my albums, I try to mix it up, feel-wise, to keep the listener off-kilter. As long as I maintain something of a mixtape feel. With every song sounding kinda different, as long as I don't have 3 country songs in a row, followed by a punk tune, the punk tune won't sound out of place. (Country, punk, pop, country, country, pop... like that... stay off kilter.)
What do you try to do? Anything that you do consciously?
