The first track on an album is arguably the most important. Back in the days of a couple of singles and a lot of filler, the singles, the best songs, were first. The first song sets up the structure, it creates the mood for the album. It draws you in, it’s your first exposure. Get it wrong and chances are you lose your listener.
