Setting the tone for what is yet to come, the opening track is among the most important ones. Thusly, I had the inspiration to pick through my collection and select a few of my favourite album-openers.
The album opens with a barrage but quickly mellows down, leading way to a few songs dropped on me as a child.
Part II of III.

-5 for always being lazy and shit and laying around sucking on whip cream nozzles and taking so long to make this. +5 for all of the good tunes.
