mortifierftw: Albums Where First Song = Best Song

DungeonBoy 04.25.18	Cutting My Fingers Off [2]
Sharkattack 04.25.18	17 is so true. I hate it when the first song is the best. Makes it seem like the rest of the album is disappointing in comparison
TheSpaceMan 04.25.18	Siameeez dreeem
Avagantamos 04.25.18	Aphex Twin - ... I Care Because You Do (Arid Avid Jam Shred)
DominionMM1 04.25.18	Pink Floyd- soycd I-V
Drifter 04.25.18	16 is interesting pick. It's def one of the best on the album
hal1ax 04.25.18	pecan tree > dream house
mortifierftw 04.25.18	@Sharkattack It only works when the rest of the album is almost up to par and the first track just happens to be my favorite. It sucks for albums like Sister Cities and Handwritten where the rest of the album just never even comes close to that starting high point
Yotimi 04.25.18	1, 7, 14, 22(obviously), 25, 26 agree Antony & the Johnsons - Hope There's Someone The Knife - Silent Shout Lucio Battisti - Abbracciala The Avalanches - Since I Left You The Zombies - Care of Cell 44 Telefon Tel Aviv - Fahrenheit Fair Enough Grandaddy - He's Simple, He's Dumb, Gas - Pop 1
mortifierftw 04.25.18	@Yotimi I was highly tempted to include Hope There's Someone, but I also a huge fan of Bird Gerhl partially cuz it was in V for Vendetta
rabidfish 04.25.18	i'm listening to highway 61 by bob dylan and like a rolling stone is so so so much better than any other track in this.
rabidfish 04.25.18	electric feel > Time to pretend smh
Sinternet 04.25.18	14 is wrong because 156 is GOAT needs this is a long drive...
NorwichScene 04.25.18	Moneen- The Red Tree: Don't Ever Tell Locke What He Can't Do
NorwichScene 04.25.18	The Graduate - Only Every Time: Don’t Die Digging
Sharkattack 04.25.18	Needs this is a long drive [2]
NorwichScene 04.25.18	Black Peaks - Statues: Glass Built Castles
dctarga 04.25.18	Thursday - For The Workforce, Drowning The Black Dahlia Murder - Black Valor After the Burial - Berserker At the Gates - Blinded by Fear Bad Religion - Generator Incubus - Redefine Killswitch Engage - Bid Farewell +44 - Lycanthrope The Contortionist - Language I: Intuition (The Source being an intro) Those are some of my lame-o picks Agree on #25, even though I personally like Only In Dreams a bit more
Project 04.25.18	Hard agree on 7 and 11 4 is real good but Your Wild Years and the closer are better IMO 13, really? over the closer? I'd also put (this list got out of hand fast) TWY - Suburbia (Came Out Swinging) Foo Fighters - Echoes, Silence Patience and Grace (The Pretender) Mae - The Everglow (We're So Far Away...if you don't count the interlude at the beginning) Lupe Fiasco - Testuo & Youth (Mural...same as above) Mayday Parade - A Lesson in Romantics (Jamie All Over) Paramore - Brand New Eyes (Careful) Passion Pit - Tremendous Sea of Love (Somewhere Up There -- again, only if you don't count interludes) Soilwork - The Living Infinite (Spectrum of Eternity ... in a HUGE way) Wolf Alice - Visions of a Life (Heavenward)
bgillesp 04.25.18	Best song on 12 is Tornado of Souls by far
bloc 04.25.18	"Like Eating Glass - contender for the best song of all time" Dang son, you really think so?
BenThatsMyJamin 04.25.18	This is honestly like 60% of albums for me, I pretty much always love first song the most
BenThatsMyJamin 04.25.18	"Siameeez dreeem" Was looking for this, Cherub Rock is one of the greatest rock songs of all time and it and Hummer are by far the best tracks on the album
AngryJohnny 04.25.18	yess agree with loads of these sweet list
Zeuzo 04.25.18	A Perfect Circle- Thirteenth Step- The Package Alter Bridge- Fortress- Cry of Achilles Alice In Chains- Jar Of Flies- Rotten Apple Andy Black- The Shadow Side- Homecoming King Crosses- Crosses- This Is a Trick Eminem- Recovery- Cold Wind Blows Halsey- BADLANDS- Castle Linkin Park- Hybrid Theory- Papercut Nirvana- Nevermind- Smells Like Teen Spirit Radiohead- Hail To the Thief- 2+2=5 The National- Sleep Well Beast- Nobody Else Will Be There Thom Yorke- The Eraser- The Eraser Wu-Tang Clan- A Better Tomorrow- Ruckus In B Minor
onionbubs 04.25.18	Skimmed my music library here were the ones that immediately stood out as far as having the opener be the best song there are probably more that I hadn’t thought of tho Billy talent - devil in a midnight mass Blink-182 - dumpweed Blink-182 - cynical Brockhampton - gummy Chief keef - love sosa Converge - first light/last light The cure - boys dont cry The cure - in between days The cure - out of this world Death cab for cutie - marching bands of manhattan Deftones - my own summer Dillinger escape plan - limerent death Every time i die - underwater bimbos from outer space Gaslight anthem - 45 Glassjaw - tip your bartender Green Day - nuclear family Jimmy eat world - big casino Joy division - disorder Linkin park - papercut Mayday parade - oh well oh well Menzingers - good things Mineral - lovelettertypewriter/palisades Modest mouse - teeth like gods shoeshine Our lady peace - one man army Strike anywhere - we amplify/blaze Taking back sunday - deathwolf Thursday - a001/understanding in a car crash Thursday - for the workforce drowning U2 - sunday Bloody Sunday U2 - a sort of homecoming Underoath - in regards to myself Weezer - my name is Jonas Weezer - tired of sex Young thug - wyclef jean
LamboGD 04.25.18	Agreed hard on 30 Some of my picks: Susanne Sundfør - The Brothel (t/t) Glassjaw - Worship and Tribute (Tip Your Bartender) Elliott Smith - s/t (Needle in the Hay) Beach House - Teen Dream (Zebra) Beach House - Bloom (Myth) also this is a long drive [3]
mortifierftw 04.25.18	@ProjectFreak Wait you pick Livin Ain't Easy over Tellin Lies? That's a first And I'm not a huge fan of Sister Cities overall and the opener stands out to me the most. The closer feels a tad cliche and doesn't hold a candle to some other TWY closers or build-ups And I forgot about Jamie All Over @bloc Yes. Yes it is. Fite me irl
neekafat 04.25.18	Reptilia is x10000000 better than anything else on that album smh
onionbubs 04.25.18	After the party is def my fav off that record but like the whole thing is gold sans bad Catholics so you cant really go wrong Used to think livin ain’t easy sucks and then it clicked hard. Still not one of the better songs but look at its fucking competition
InFlamesWeThrash666 04.25.18	PAINKILLER
BenThatsMyJamin 04.25.18	bloc do you not love BLOC party??
ashcrash9 04.25.18	agree with lots of picks here. Some other notable ones for me include BROCKHAMPTON - "BOOGIE" Elder - "Compendium" Everything Everything - "Night of the Long Knives" Fugazi - "Waiting Room" GY!BE - "The Dead Flag Blues" GY!BE - "Storm" Kashiwa Daisuke - "Stella" Maximum The Hormone - "Buikkikaesu!!" Radiohead - "2+2=5" Sigur Rós - "Untitled 1" The Dear Hunter - "Bring You Down" THE NOVEMBERS - "Eien no Fukusei" The Weakerthans - "Everything Must Go!" Thursday - "For The Workforce, Drowning"
BAG 04.25.18	best song on saturation is star tho
Project 04.25.18	mortifier, I forgot the title track wasn't the closer haha. Tellin Lies is definitely better than Livin Ain't Easy, but I'll take After the Party over either one, and Your Wild Years over all of them
rapideyemovement 04.25.18	5 is the first thing for me that came to mind when i read the title. Not that the rest of the album is bad, but it's so utterly beautiful it shits all over the rest of the tracks
rapideyemovement 04.25.18	Oh and 17 and 25 are kinda wrong, the closers on those albums are much better.
DoofusWainwright 04.25.18	Beck - Loser Mercury Rev - Holes Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up Wilco - At Least that’s What You Said Manic Street Preachers - Yes Paddy McAloon - I Trawl the Megahertz Air - Electronic Performers Air - La Femme D’Argent Kyuss - Gardenia Aimee Mann - Goose Snow Cone Amen - Coma America Bill Callahan - The Sing Bill Callahan - Jim Cain Red House Painters - Have You Forgotten Daniel Cavanagh - The Exorcist David Bowie - Five Years David Bowie - Thursday’s Child Destroyer - Chinatown Lambchop - Paperback Bible American Music Club - Why Won’t You Stay Talking Heads - Born Under Punches Talking Heads - Blind Suicidal Tendencies - You Can’t Bring Me Down Tame Impala - Let it Happen Fugazi - Waiting Room
Sharkattack 04.25.18	Black Sabbath-Black Sabbath-Black Sabbath. Not really I just wanted to write Black Sabbath three times
ZombieToyDuck 04.25.18	Bring Me the Horizon- Crucify Me Dance Gavin Dance- Spooks Death Grips- Giving Bad People Good Ideas Fiona Apple- Sleep to Dream Foster the People- Houdini Fun.- Be Calm Horse the Band- Birdo Injury Reserve- Oh Shit! Melt-Banana- Candy Gun The Tallest Man on Earth- Wild Hunt Twin Atlantic- Lightspeed ehh this is what I came up with that arent already up here
Zeuzo 04.25.18	Also, Tool- 10 000 Days- Vicarious
mortifierftw 04.25.18	DAMMIT I FORGOT ABOUT PAINKILLER HOW COULD I @ProjectFreak oh gotcha, yeah After The Party is such a terrific song, I can definitely see why people would pick it over the rest of the record
ZombieToyDuck 04.25.18	After the Party is my favorite as well, its crazy how much that track grew on me
LamboGD 04.25.18	Agalloch - Limbs Sigur Ros - Brennisteinn Ulver - Eos Swans - No Words/No Thoughts Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger The Postal Service - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight
BlazinBlitzer 04.25.18	From 2017 there's: Der Weg Einer Freiheit - Finisterre Motorpsycho - The Tower Tyler the Creator - Flower Boy CityCop - The Same Stories That Never Get Old I'll get back to you on some all-time ones. I know Death's Symbolic is one for sure though.
OllieS 04.25.18	I hate when albums are like this, the rest of it feels deflating (especially when the first song is really standout) gotta say on 32 I think 'The Royal We' is better, although admittedly it's partly because the end of 'There's No Secrets...' feels like the former's intro :)
RippingCorpse1986 04.25.18	24 needs more love here. Criminally overlooked stuff.
BenThatsMyJamin 04.26.18	"Suicidal Tendencies - You Can’t Bring Me Down" Ah yeah thats another great pick
MH18 04.26.18	Agreed so hard on Raining in Kyoto, album really disappointed me. New Scream > Cutting My Fingers Off, though
DoofusWainwright 04.26.18	A few more... Metallica - Blackened Anathema - Deep Sonic Youth - Schizophrenia Sparklehorse - Don't Take My Sunshine Away Stimming - Prepare Sufjan Stevens - Futile Devices System of a Down - Prison Song Ministry - N.W.O
DoofusWainwright 04.26.18	' "Alice In Chains- Jar Of Flies - Rotten Apple" HARD [2]' 'Nutshell' is even better so void
Flashmobba 04.26.18	nah rotten apple>
DoofusWainwright 04.26.18	Nuh uh
DoofusWainwright 04.26.18	Both hard 5 tunes though
onionbubs 04.26.18	both are like equal yea. I’d give it to nutshell tho prob
Koris 04.26.18	Opeth - The Leper Affinity Rush - 2112, Hemispheres Mastodon - Oblivion Converge - Concubine/Fault and Fracture Yes - Close to the Edge Alice in Chains - Them Bones (though the entire album is 5/5) And yeah, I have to agree with Doof. Nutshell is better
BenThatsMyJamin 04.26.18	Blackened [168164] What a way to open an album. Also on the Anathema theme Untouchable Pt.1 undoubtedly
bloc 04.26.18	"bloc do you not love BLOC party??" You know I do lol
DoofusWainwright 04.26.18	Untouchable Pt 1 is a good pick...Gathering of the Clouds is an important song for me too is why I didn’t put that one up
BenThatsMyJamin 04.26.18	Yeah another good tune I just never listen to that whole album anymore but Pt.1 still gets very regular spins. It's probably the best song with bad lyrics I've ever heard lol
ZombieToyDuck 04.26.18	Doof idk about Prison Song being best from Toxicity, but I also have to say picking a top track for that album is crazy hard for me personally. I'd argue Psycho is best and also incredibly underrated.
mortifierftw 04.26.18	Awwhhh I forgot about Prison Song, that's actually my fav SOAD song Also I agree that Nutshell is better than Rotten Apple
BigHans 04.26.18	31 is such a jam
TronaldDump 07.08.18	12 would be pretty much on everyone's list of this category
ArsMoriendi 07.08.18	Disagreed on Doolittle hard "Dead" is my fave on there, and Debaser doesn't even crack top 5 for me
ArsMoriendi 07.08.18	Also disagreed on Ziggy. "Soul Love" is my fave on there and Without a Sound "Over Your Shoulder"
TronaldDump 07.08.18	Also this list needs Ulver - Bergtatt, I Troldskog faren vild is hands down their best song.
neekafat 07.08.18	Paramore - Brand New Eyes Silversun Pickups - Better Nature Ben Howard - Noonday Dream Avenged Sevenfold - City of Evil a ton more I'm blanking on Bjork - Debut
ArsMoriendi 07.08.18	Openers I think are the best songs on their albums: The Doors - Strange Days - "Strange Days" Creedence Clearwater Revival - Green River - "Green River" David Bowie - "Heroes" - "Heroes" Frank Zappa/The Mothers of Invention - One Size Fits All - "Inca Roads" James Chance and the Contortions - Buy - "Design to Kill" King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King - "21st Century Schizoid Man" Laurie Anderson - Big Science - "From the Air" LCD Soundsystem - This is Happening - "Dance Yrself Clean" Mercury Rev - Boces - "Meth of a Rockette's Kick" Minnie Riperton - Come to My Garden - "Les Fluer" R.E.M. - Murmur - "Radio Free Europe" Silver Apples - Contact - "You and I" Stone Temple Pilots - Purple - "Meatplow" Sublime - Sublime - "Garden Grove" Tom Waits - Bone Machine - "Earth Died Screaming" Tom Waits - Mule Variations - "Big in Japan" Tom Waits - Frank's Wild Years - "Hang on St. Christopher" The Zombies - Odessey and Oracle - "Care of Cell 44" Damn, Tom Waits does this a lot for me.
GreyShadow 07.08.18	Totally right about Never Meant. I agree with 6 too. Invalids - Strengths - Sherwood Is Connector Invalids - Eunoia - Sherman Is Connector Deas Vail -Birds and Cages - The Things You Were Icarus The Owl - The Spotless Mind - Running From Lacuna The Front Bottoms - s/t - Flashlight (idk sometimes my fave is this, sometimes Legit Tattoo Gun, sometimes Hooped Earrings) CHVRCHES - The Bones... - The Mother We Share CHVRCHES - Love Is Dead - Graffiti (much less of an accomplishment than the previous one though. great song regardless) From Indian Lakes - Everything Feels Better Now - Happy Machines The Dear Hunter - Act IV - The Old Haunt Wow I can't think of as many as I thought I could
0GuyMan0 07.08.18	Off the top: Unearth - The Great Dividers Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love Slayer - Angel of Death Metallica - Blackened Megadeth - Rust in Peace Converge - Dark Horse Nas - New York State of Mind The Dillinger Escape Plan - Panasonic youth
