Is the first impression of an album always the right one?

Katerina Kaltsa 20 Jan 2021 Riffing

The first song of an album can stand out in a variety of ways.

From introducing an artist to the music industry and fans to defining the melody that follows.

For some music fans, it’s kind of hard to sit down and listen to an entire album.

On the other hand, Rock / Metal fans will not only listen to the whole album but will put it in repeat, until their ears are exhausted.

However, the record companies, wanting to reach the first category of listeners, choose a song as an album opener.

Of course, the record companies’ point of view may not always be the right one …

However, we chose the best opening songs, based, of course, on our own preferences!
