Totally agree with those. A good opener has to get you hooked to the album and also give you a hint at what to expect from the rest of the songs.

So I add:
Ode To Isis - …Trail Of Dead (Worlds Apart)
Everything Sux - Descendents (Everything Sucks)

PS: Every time I listen to Middle I go mental. I even fell off my chair banging to it. :rolleyes:

Yeah - Mark Lanagan is a fantastic singer and sets the album of a treat.

Another great opener is Velvet Kevorkian / All Hail The New Flesh off Strapping Young Lads ‘City’ album.

Somone should set a deadline, then count up the mentions. Then do a poll on the top three.
