rokknroll4 11.14.11	Not necessarily the best, just a few that came to mind. Also some of these are not including intro tracks.
taxidermist 11.14.11	A lot of these are awesome. Good list. I'd post some great openers, but I'm tired as fuck.
YetAnotherBrick 11.14.11	At the Drive-In - Arcarsenal Metallica - Battery The National - Secret Meeting The Dillinger Escape Plan - Farewell, Mona Lisa Radiohead - Everything In Its Right Place Good list.
Scoot 11.14.11	amia venera landscape - the long procession empire is my favourite opening track ever, first three minutes is pure chaos
rokknroll4 11.14.11	Empire is a good opener, but I always thought that the album only went uphill from there.
gosk8n 11.14.11	Massive attack - angel Is one of my fav's and also 2 & 3
sifFlammable 11.14.11	skepticsm the arrival
Divine 11.14.11	Props for 2 and 6
CrackeTheSkull 11.14.11	Amon Amarth - Twilight of the Thunder God Opeth - The Leper Affinity Wintersun - Beyond the Dark Sun Death - Symbolic Converge - Concubine is my all time favorite opener... such a ridiculous amount of aggression packed into a minute and 19 seconds, nothing better for a quick adrenaline rush. Shit never gets old... Pretty much any Metal album that's widely considered a classic has a strong opener.
DinoX 11.14.11	good list
Scoot 11.14.11	"Empire is a good opener, but I always thought that the album only went uphill from there." ehh idk about that, i'd say the 1-2 punch of empire and a new aurora is the best part of the album
rokknroll4 11.14.11	I like the more post-rock/post-metal stuff, Glances and Nicholas and most of Marasm are the best parts of the album for me, Empire and New Aurora are awesome though.
iFghtffyrdmns 11.14.11	both Titus Andronicus albums have awesome fucking openers.
benkim 11.14.11	The Modern Leper - Frightened Rabbit So did We - Isis Waking Up - 10 Years

Trebor. 11.14.11	^ best answer
qwe3 11.14.11	still life
TheChastonGuy 11.14.11	Many Porcupine Tree albums, Like Even Less on Stupid Dream and Blackest Eyes on In Absentia.
JimmsightMatters 11.14.11	modest mouse-good news... horn intro is immense
Trebor. 11.14.11	yeah
Satellite 11.14.11	true or false: the first track on an album is almost always the most important one
Trebor. 11.14.11	It sets your expectations for the album and let's you know what it's going to be like
Scoot 11.14.11	BLAND STREET BLOOM
TheChastonGuy 11.14.11	^^^^^^ FtFuckingW
JimmsightMatters 11.14.11	also Torches Together and January 1979 are an amazing opening pair
Sleaper 11.14.11	TRUEEEEE^. If intro/opener is shit u already have low expectations of the album.
pmmets07 11.14.11	Modern Life is War - The Outsider Mew - Am I Wry? No Counterparts - The Reflex Tester As Cities Burn - Contact Bear Vs. Shark - Ma Jolie Streetlight Manifesto - Everything Went Numb Title Fight - Symmetry Verse - The New Fury

ShadowRemains 11.14.11	sleep - dopesmoker
tkxxx7 11.14.11	3 doesn't really belong here, that's easily the worst song on the record also these: amia venera landscape - the long procession angel (massive attack) At the Drive-In - Arcarsenal copy-swagged from other posts of course
BassDemon333 11.14.11	Architects - Hollow Crown Early Grave is fucking awesome
dimsim3478 11.14.11	"3 doesn't belong here". NO NO NO NO I don't think "Such Small Hands" is anything without "Said the King to the River" (vice versa). It's like "Son et Lumiere" is to "Inertiatic ESP" as "Such Small Hands" is to "Said the King to the River".
ExtremeSpeakers 11.14.11	Good list, 5 is really good
kingjulian 11.14.11	Good list. I read the title and instantly thought Worms of the Senses by Refused.
TMobotron 11.14.11	It's rare for me to agree with everything on a list but god damn you nailed it. There are some albums that could be added of course but everything on here fits damn well.
Keyblade 11.14.11	most great albums of awesome openers in my experience.
macadoolahicky 11.14.11	Strapping Young Lad - Alien Devin Townsend - Accelerated Evolution A Perfect Circle - Mer De Noms Meshuggah - Destroy Erase Improve and, probably my favorite album opener ever... Strapping Young Lad - Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing
rokknroll4 11.14.11	Just remembered City of Caterpillar - s/t and of course, someone said Witness. Yea theres a lot that could be added but whatever.
Aids 11.14.11	awesome list
Aids 11.14.11	'3 doesn't really belong here, that's easily the worst song on the record" you crazy, darling
