Best album intro..

[Wanderingblade]

What, in your opinion, is the best track DT have used for opening an album? Not best overall, but best as a first track...

Vote.

 

[rahvin]

wonders at your feet. definitely not best overall, and a bit cheesy to boot, but it really does work well as an opener imo.

[Nachzehrer]

Freecard.

 

[Humanure]

Wow, that was tougher than I thought.....Final Resistance wins out in the end. I just can't get enough of it for some reason, and it's a killer song to end their set with....

 

[Phyros]

Actually Punish My Heaven! The kick in the stomach I got the first time stills sets in!

 

[Gums]

I'm a big Dreamlore Degenerate fan :hotjump:

 

[The Grand Wazoo]

Yeah! I agree..!
Punish my Heaven just really "starts".
Put it on and you know the cd is there!

Or somethin.
Anyway.. Er? What happened to my vote? Oh damn.............
Well, I'd say Punish My Heaven.

 

[Onde Erik]

Punish My Heaven, the way it gets you (me) excited about the album right from the very start.

 

[Villain]

As much as I hate to admit it, I must agree with Rahvin here: The Wonders at Your Feet is indeed the best DT-album-opener of all time, IMHO. Plus it is a great song as well.

Punish My Heaven and FreeCard are the only other openers that fit perfectly as such, IMO - Dreamlore Degenerate and Final Resistance would both work better later on their respective albums and the scream by Anders Fridén at the beginning of Nightfall by the Shore of Time is the worst part of the whole Skydancer-album.

And the "space-effect"-trick on both Of Chaos and Eternal Night and Zodijackyl Light never did the trick for me.

Punish My Heaven!
I fucking always turns up the volyme when i'm listening to it

 

[DeepInMisery]

Yeah I'd say Wonders At Your Feet, it has alot of energy, plus the electronics..

*ba-ba-bam!*

 

[Arch]

Great poll.
Oooh, it's a tough one, but I gotta choose 'Punish My Heaven'.

Okay, agreed: it works very well as a live-show opener (at least on that World Domination Live). But on the album, it's definitely in the wrong place, IMHO.

A bit off topic, I like the opening song to their concert with the keyboard and drums found in their 1999 Live Projector tour in Japan and elsewhere.

 

[Miolo]

The Wonders at your Feet.

Punish my Heaven is a good opener too.

[|ngenius]

The best intro DT have used for opening an album is "Regression", from Scenes From a Memory (aka, Metropolis Part II). It's strange, I expected the same opinion of Miolo.


|ng (Dream Theaterish...)

 

[Miolo]

it is my opinion too, but it wasn't in the poll choices.

Miolo (close your eyes and begin to relax...)

 

[Infernal]

I vote wonders at your feet it really is the best intro song of DT.They use it to start their gigs too

Punish My Heaven is a very good opener still
