    Which album has the best intro song?

    If you're thinking whether you can count Foreword itself as an intro song, that not what I mean. Hybrid Theory would be Papercut, Meteora would be Foreword/Don't Stay, Minutes To Midnight would be Wake/Given Up, A Thousand Suns would be The Requiem/The Radiance/Burning In The Skies, Living Things would be Lost In The Echo, and The Hunting party would obviously be Keys To The Kingdom.
    I think that the album with the best intro song in The Hunting Party, Keys To The Kingdom. It just feels like a introduction song whenever I listen to it, I don't know why but it's just perfect for the start of the album. It introduces almost everything on the album; Chester's screamo, Mike's singing, Mike's rapping.
    The second best album intro song IMO would be Minutes To Midnight Wake/Given Up. It has quite a long instrumental interlude for Given Up, which totally goes against the majority of the album's style, but has still stuck with me as a great intro song.
    Whole order for me: THP, MTM, Meteora, HT, LT, ATS.
    It doesn't mean I don't like Papercut or Lost In The Echo, but it does mean I don't like The Requiem/The Radiance. No offence to any ATS lovers, I understand your opinion. Actually, I don't. Ignore this statement.

    To me, "The Requiem" is the coolest introductory track ... but best intro + another song combination has to be "Opening" + "Pts.Of.Athrty".

    Best opening song just in and of itself, IMO, is "Keys".

    Definitely a tie between The Requiem and Keys To The Kingdom.

    Wake/Given Up forever.

    Then Requiem/Radiance/BITS, Keys to the Kingdom, LOST IN THE ECHO, Papercut, and Foreword/Don't Stay in that order.

    Pale.

    Nobody can convince me it wasn't the real opener to M2M.

    It doesn't sound like an introductory instrumental track at all. It's freaking five minutes long

    I feel like they have had very effective openers on all of their albums. They all get you in a certain mood that flows through the rest of the album, which is why I can't pick one as my favorite opener.

    First of all: :rofl:

    Second of all: Again, a very effective opener for a pretty solid album in my opinion.

    'NO CONTROL, NO SURPRISE!'

    The requiem is amazing but I feel like KTTK wins.
