Favorite Opening Track?

[Triumphant Apostle]

This may have been done before, but who knows! Anyway, mine would have to be The Moor, closely followed by The Leper Affinity. Too bad they never play The Moor live, I think it would go over quite well!

 

[Protected Witness]

I think each album has a very suitable opener. I couldn't imagine them any other way...

 

[Alex78]

The Moor is a great opening track. but MAYH's beginning is awesome,too. especially the moment when April Ethereal fades in

 

[Azogue]

The Moor, In the Mist She Was Standing and Windowpane.

Followed closely by Advent and Leper Affinity.

 

[Hexxan]

THE MOOOOOOOOOOR!

i reckon windowpane and april ethereal are amazing tho

 

[no country for old wainds]

Oh god, they're all incredible.....Here is my order of preference FOR TODAY:

1. The Leper Affinity
2. The Moor
3. Advent
4. April Ethereal
5. In Mist She Was Standing
6. Wreath
7. Windowpane

[Schism]

I chose Wreath, just to be different, and because it blows me away everytime:hotjump:

 

[Neurotomania]

well you would wouldn't you

 

[ChrisEmerson]

in mist she was standing

 

[chaveta]

yeah in mist she was standing rocks and i voted for it, but i must admit, the acoustic intro in The Moor is just too godly sometimes

 

[Demonspell]

1. Advent 2. The Leper Affinity 3. The Moor 4. April Ethereal 5. Windowpane 6. In Mist She Was Standing 7. Wreath

 

[futile]

Advent

 

[twilightsrobe]

Advent, followed by The Moor, and then probably the Leper Affinity.

 

[Demilich]

I find Still Life to be the more coherent of the two concept albums. Maybe it's just because it's the one that has completely clicked for me, while on MAYH I've yet to appreciate April Ethereal, The Amen Corner and Karma

I love The Moor, except that i find the intro taxing when i'm just listening to the Moor, though it's fine when I'm listening to the whole album

 

[diso]

April Ethereal is opeth's finest moment period. But I must admit this pretty much all these openers are bloody good.

 

[Aborted Fetus]

April Ethereal.

 

[stefan86]

The Moor is an awesome opener.

 

[mac]

April Ethereal... that first riff sucks me right into it.

 

[scorpian007]

Windowpane and The Moor definately!
