johnnydeking29: Openers Better Than The Rest Of The Album

johnnydeking29 01.10.13	Also, Snowmine - Beast in Air, Beast in Water
MetallicOpeth 01.10.13	fuck yes 5 is amazing
Mookid 01.10.13	id llol
rien333 01.10.13	Sowing Season from Brand News's album "The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me" is my personal favorite example of this phenomenon.
Mookid 01.10.13	It annoys me when idiots won't stop blabbering about Rest, yes
evilford 01.10.13	4 is a tough call, all the songs rule really. 8 is close, I think Raze the Stray is de best there agreed w/ 9, but that whole album rules too
johnnydeking29 01.10.13	Never really loved Sowing Season as much as everyone else tbh, it's one of the weakest imo Raze and the t/t are both contenders, but Lost is the winner for me; these albums are all solid, but it's still annoying that the best track is the first you hear
Sheaiskl 01.10.13	sowing season definitely not as good as limousine surely? I'd say never meant by american football is an example
Mookid 01.10.13	def Never Meant. That album has some pretty good songs other than the first track, though.
JamieTwort 01.10.13	4 is a tough call, all the songs rule really.[2]
johnnydeking29 01.10.13	Limousine, You Won't Know, Degausser, Not the Sun and the Archers' Bows Have Broken are way better than Sowing Season
fish. 01.10.13	I hate that so much. I have lots of examples, can't be bothered to type them all. Only Shallow by My Bloody Valentine is one. Myth by Beach House is one of the best examples for me. Amazing song, top 3 songs of the year. Rest of the album is boring as fuck "Sowing Season from Brand News's album "The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me" is my personal favorite example of this phenomenon." Sowing Season is less than average in the context of the whole album
Sheaiskl 01.10.13	"Limousine, You Won't Know, Degausser, Not the Sun and the Archers' Bows Have Broken are way better than Sowing Season" agreed, although I do like Sowing Season's place in the album as an opener. It's not a particularly special song but it's one that I won't get bored of.
Tikicobra 01.10.13	I would definitely have to say Myth by Beach House is leagues better than everything else on Bloom.
Spare 01.10.13	this is usually only the case when you haven't listened to an album enough/when it's a terrible album in the first place
CK 01.10.13	Agree with 6 and 4. 9 is great but it definitely wasn't a true highlight on that album.
Emyay 01.10.13	the first song on in mourning's latest is way better than the rest
johnnydeking29 01.10.13	What's your highlight of Still Life?
SpiritCrusher2 01.10.13	agreed with 2 and with this too: "the first song on in mourning's latest is way better than the rest" entombed - left hand path
Emyay 01.10.13	i agree with 7. i never really liked that album much but that song was my jam. highlight of still life is tough. the moor is great but so is everything else. i don't think its fair to put that here
lucazade22 01.10.13	Pinball Map!
johnnydeking29 01.10.13	Pinball Map is great, but Bullet Ride is easily the best song on Clayman
demon of surveillance 01.10.13	At The Gates - Slaughter of the Soul The title track is the only song that stands up to Blinded By Fear.
johnnydeking29 01.10.13	Cold, Unto Others, the t/t, Need and Under a Serpent Sun all match Blinded By Fear
YoYoMancuso 01.10.13	Live-The Dam At Otter Creek Porcupine Tree-Even Less Acid Bath-The Blue Kyuss-Gardenia Modest Mouse-Teeth Like God's Shoeshine
Yazz_Flute 01.10.13	I actually think Clayman is the most consistent In Flames album in terms of quality...though Bullet Ride is admittedly my favorite along with Only For the Weak.
johnnydeking29 01.10.13	TJR is more consistent imo
ProjectFreak 01.10.13	i think SILAYD gets way better after the first track...also, while Sowing Season might be the best song on TDAG, the rest of the album is pretty close, i wouldn't say there's that big a gap in quality. i'd add Underoath - When the Sun Sleeps to this list
slipnslide 01.10.13	live-the dam at otter creek [2] As tall as lions-as tall as lions
InfamousGrouse 01.10.13	damn #2 but what about rebellion and wake up and crown of love and in the backseat
climactic 01.10.13	"Sowing Season from Brand News's album "The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me" is my personal favorite example of this phenomenon." NOOOOOOOO
IMZA1793 01.10.13	The Moments In Between - The Reign Of kindo The Leper Affinity - Opeth
FearThyEvil9 01.10.13	All these rule but I agree with the guy above me for Leper Affinity.
MeatSalad 01.10.13	radiohead - everything in it's right place
johnnydeking29 01.10.13	^NO, most overrated song ever "Damn #2 but what about rebellion and wake up and crown of love and in the backseat" I love all of those apart from Crown of Love (especially ITB), but Tunnels is still my fave
ProjectFreak 01.10.13	"The Moments In Between - The Reign Of kindo" HEY NOW. there are plenty of great songs on that album.
ProjectFreak 01.10.13	also, while we're not considering intro tracks, The World At Large -- Modest Mouse
andcas 01.10.13	everything on 3 is fucking amazing. one of the best post-hardcore albums of the last decade.
Apollo 01.10.13	9 is dead wrong Serenity Painted Death might be the best song Opeth has ever written
andcas 01.10.13	hey apollobro
IMZA1793 01.10.13	""The Moments In Between - The Reign Of kindo" HEY NOW. there are plenty of great songs on that album." Never said there were no great songs beyond the opener (especially Great blue Sea), but the The Moments In Between is the best song imo.
ProjectFreak 01.10.13	"everything on 3 is fucking amazing. one of the best post-hardcore albums of the last decade." wrong on both counts. album is good but far from amazing...I only really remember three tracks.
demigod93 01.10.13	Dark Horse
YoYoMancuso 01.10.13	Pixies-Bone Machine
baldymort 01.10.13	7 and 9 are incredible albums imo
Emyay 01.11.13	Whoever said Porcupine Tree - Even Less sooo wrong
SaneTBP 01.11.13	2 is one of the best songs ever yess Still Life is really consistant, wouldn't say that The Moor is the greatest song but each to their own
JamieTwort 01.11.13	Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick ;)
FromDaHood 01.11.13	2 is wrong, but those who said Teeth Like God's Shoeshine and Myth are both correct
Jethro42 01.11.13	Spocks Beard - The Light
SpiritCrusher2 01.11.13	srsly, Entombed - Left Hand Path is the most obvious example of this
JamieTwort 01.11.13	Nucleus - Song For The Bearded Lady The rest of the album rules too but that song is definitely the highlight.
Insurrection 01.11.13	Dismember - Like an Everflowing Stream, Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger
SpiritCrusher2 01.11.13	Architects - Early Grave, Amia Venera Landscape - Empire, Annihilator - Fun Palace, Converge - Saddest Day, Slayer - Disciple............ Edge of Sanity - Crimson?
johnnydeking29 01.11.13	Ahahaha, Crimson is cheating
Dreamflight 01.11.13	Agree hard with 9 Neurosis - Given to the rising would be a valid choice imo.
johnnydeking29 01.11.13	Haven't heart GttR yet (I'm working through chronologically and am on ToG atm)
DominionMM1 01.11.13	"Neurosis - Given to the rising would be a valid choice imo." nah. at the end of the road and water is not enough are as good as the t/t.
johnnydeking29 01.11.13	If it wasn't for Sterile Vision, Souls at Zero would be another example
Dreamflight 01.11.13	"Haven't heart GttR yet (I'm working through chronologically and am on ToG atm)" I should have done that, and I even started with Souls. DominionMM1: Those two are great as well, but the only one that comes close to t/t to me is actually To the Wind.
Chortles 01.11.13	Kingston wall - II so hard
johnnydeking29 01.11.13	"I should have done that, and I even started with Souls." Ah, where did you go after Souls?
Dreamflight 01.11.13	All the way to GttR (cheap deal in Amazon), and then back to TSiB.
BigBlob 01.11.13	Mezzanine - Massive Attack.
JamieTwort 01.11.13	"Annihilator - Fun Palace" I disagree, the whole album rules. Title track and Phantasmagoria are easily on a level with The Fun Palace imo.
johnnydeking29 01.11.13	Woah, so starting (in terms of first 3) from everywhere at once...crazy
andcas 01.11.13	"wrong on both counts. album is good but far from amazing...I only really remember three tracks." sucks you don't have anything tied to the album.
angrypittsburghdad1 01.11.13	Totally disagree with 4, One Twenty Seven is better, it's my favorite song on the album.
johnnydeking29 01.12.13	^that, Admission: Regret and Wake, Dead Man, Wake all rule face, but the first track is still best imo (opinion might change)
CrownOfMagnets 01.12.13	smashing pumpkins- quasar (from the new album) foo fighters- the pretender
SaneTBP 01.12.13	Shiina Ringo - Shuukyou I mean the whole thing is a 5, but the opener.. fuk
pbass0 01.17.13	foo fighters- the pretender [2]
facupm 02.01.13	Heathen - Victims of Deception - Hypnotized (although the rest rule hard, nothing can compare to opener)
facupm 02.01.13	and 4 is out of place here, it's a constant kick ass thing
demigod93 02.01.13	Dopesmoker
facupm 02.01.13	and the Moor is Opeht best song so of course is better than the rest of the album
