Welcome to Off the Beaten Clef! This week, Cody and Dil are back after a little hiatus and discussing album openers. Album openers can make or break how you feel about an album, and we dissect how influential they can be to albums to we hold dear. With the help of our instagram and Discord members, we built an 18 song playlist with nothing but the best. What album openers got missed? Are they as important as we think they are? Let us know on Instagram or Discord!
