Track listing
Notes
"Thus Ends The Beach" is a relatively short outro followed by several minutes of silence and a short untitled hidden track. Counting the silent break, it is the longest track on the album. It is the last track of Cigarette Beach, which mainly consists of the band members talking casually about the album.
Grand Buffet have stated that the word "Batman" is hidden on the album by backmasking.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Cigarette Beach” as album by Grand Buffet. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as album by Grand Buffet. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 27, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q5119820. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
