Great Album OpenerS

[Cody Nelson]

I noticed there was a album closers thread, so why not have an album openers thread? Hopefully there's not already one.

I don't really have time to post any right now, but hopefully there will be some good stuff to work off of when I get back. Have at it!

[J Me]

Round Here is a slow, but great opener for an incredible album

[Cody Nelson]

I'm a huge fan of Right Where We Left Off off of New Found Glory's new LP.

This Is Twice Now- Lydia, also a great choice.

[Iwudstilldie4u]

Armor for Sleep - Car Underwater
In addition to being a great song, sets the stage for the emotional and lyrical content of the rest of the album

For the same reasons

[Kyle Huntington]

Guillemots - Kriss Kross

Saves The Day - At Your Funeral

[mikeyxxcore]

Tip Your Bartender

Yeah. the intro to sing the sorrow and rise or die trying set the tone for the album(s) pretty well too. they also sort of sound the same, drum-wise. along with the intro to the latest Underminded album. must be a popular beat.

Not a huge fan of their other stuff, but Downfall of us All is a sick fucking track.

im listing the albums, not the songs:

jimmy eat world - clarity
get up kids - something to write home about
between the buried and me - silent circus
thursday - full collapse (if you count understanding in a car crash and not just the short instrumental thing before it)
smashing pumpkins - siamese dream
radiohead - kid A
radiohead - ok computer

and I am not even a huge nirvana fan anymore these days but, you can't count out Nirvana opening Nevermind with "smells like teen spirit"

wait what?? ah shit thats what happens when you get a buddy to burn you a copy when it first came out...well my album choice still stands, as Salt Sweat Sugar (better name than bleed american tbh) is one of my favourite songs ever!

yeh, fair play to them but for changing the name, alot of bands wouldn't have done that!
