I think this is the crux of it. The ending to a track needs to fit in with the rest of it (obviously) and some just don't lend themselves to "in your face" endings.
This is very true....the last song off the Acuity record where it slowly fades for three minutes...and the man is supposedly falling from space...it's perfect.
