dingbat2 Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 I have been playing Goldfrapp's Blackcherry a lot recently, and I keep thinking those opening 3 songs are absolute belters... 1. Crystalline Green 2. Train 3. Blackcherry I am struggling to think of a better opening 3 tracks of any album I've got What do you think are the best opening 3 tracks of an album? P.S. the rest of that album is cracking too, and I would recommend anyone who hasn't heard it to give it a listen, they are going to sound great in the JP tent, and they are likely to still play 3 songs off Blackcherry (Train, Blackcherry and Strict Machine) even though the album is 14 years old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odessa Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Bizarrely I was listening to Relationship of Command by At The Drive-in last night and was thinking exactly the same about Arcarsenal -> Pattern Against User -> One Armed Scissor. Incredible, in-your-face start to an album. Same goes for Songs For The Deaf. Oracular Spectacular by MGMT has a spectacular opening 3 tracks too.
