Favorite Album Opener...

surpirsed no one has said in the mist... although mine would have to be the MOOR!

 

[Depth Perception]

Windowpane, April Ethereal or Leper Affinity... hard to choose.

The endless intro of "The Moor" disqualifies my otherwise favorite Opeth track; I love the bam-bam-BAM-BAM opening of "In Mist She was Standing", but I feel "Ghost of Perdition" is the most effective, powerful, and thus favorite, album opener.

 

[Rogue Eagle]

The Moor.
or windowpane.
(or leper affinity)

gosh I suck at picking one.

The Moor, mainly because each note seems to ring with visual imagery. Listening to Still Life, it just seems like it should have been made for a movie. Am I the only one who sees the credits fading in and out during the intro of The Moor?

GOP. I love the immediate contrast of soft to heavy, vocals pretty much from the start. And while it gets going fast, it does lots of meandering yet remains cohesive, unlike a lot of the early, more through-composed stuff. Some of Mike's best songwriting imo.
