This week's episode has our hosts tackling the question of the best opening album tracks. We pick our three favorites and discuss why they stand out above all the rest. We also discuss the importance of the first track on an album and if that importance is lessened in a world where most people are consuming music a la carte. We'd love to hear your thoughts on this topic, as well as your favorite album openers, so hit up the show thread and let us know. This episode also has us touching on The New Yorker's 'The Man Who Broke the Music Business' article, new music from Refused, The Story So Far, Four Year Strong, Panic! at the Disco, and mewithoutYou.
