For the purposes of the trope, we're defining "outro" as a musical piece that isn't structured like a song, but serves as a wrap-up or summary of the album's content note It can either be a musical piece composed of musical excerpts of other songs, or just a piece that isn't structured like a song. This trope comes in two variations: the longest song being placed as the last track of the album, barring hidden tracks, or preceding a musical outro, a variant usually used in concept albums.
So bands often place the longest songs at the end of the album, often as a way to close the album on a high note. However, creating a long song isn't an easy task, and your band may risk boring the listener before the album ends unless you adapt the piece to its place on the list. The usual place for these often varies: they may go at the beginning, at the middle, or at the end of a side (in the case of multi-sided albums). One of these decisions involves the longest songs, if they are present. When crafting an album, bands and artists often spend part of the time thinking on the right order for the songs, depending on what they want to transmit.
