Are there any albums that open with the weakest track?
yea
Do intro tracks or skits count? Demon Days' builds hype but it's the weakest track by far.
>>129053755It's technically the weakest track, but mostly because the album is mostly solid and classic. It's otherwise a great song, if it were on "The Now Now" it'd look a lot better.
I almost didn't listen to the rest after hearing "Bird, Enemy, Car", but I'm glad I did.
Ride the lightning
>>129053853Good callDeftones - white pony
>>129053414most albums that start with an intro songmost of the times is nothingthey exist to add more suspense before the next song starts, but usually it fails at that
As far as I'm concerned, the album starts with THIS track.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvz-BZiTgiQ
>>129053414Abbey Road
>>129053938I feel like we can exclude <2-minute intro tracks from OP's question because they can't stand alone. You're only supposed to hear them in the context of the album; you wouldn't put them in a playlist. Even so, as you said>usually it failsYes. Pics related are examples of how to do it right.
>>129053414albums with the first song being [Intro] with some shitty ambient noise or piano notes
>>129053853Fuck no
>>129053414The last two Killing Joke albums. Good albums but Pole Shift and Autonomous Zone are snoozer starts.
>>129053414>becomes their biggest song ever
>>129053755DARE's always been my least favorite on that one.>>129053853Isn't Escape the usual culprit for that one.>>129053921Feiticeira is a weird opener but a based one. It absolutely should be put before a cut like Teenager.
>>129053414Basically any album that starts with an "Intro" track.
>>129053414It's still good tho
what the fuck was she thinking
>>129054910I never liked DARE either. It didn't deserve its popularity that it got. Shaun Ryder is annoying.
>>129053414First LP by The Only Ones
>>129054161I Often Dream of Trains by Robyn Hitchcock comes to mind here. the next track after that one, Sometimes I Wish I Was A Pretty Girl, is the GOAT however
>>129054881Nice, I was gonna post this
>>129053414Rubber Soul
>>129056861Wrong. Not the worst on the US or uk version

hear me out
>>129057874I will not. Thom's hippie ass lyrics on The Numbers takes that spot. Also, as a HTTT chad Burn The Witch was a golden goose.
amazing album but invaders is shit.
>>129057874Burn the Witch was the only good song on this snoozer.
