i love albums that are a complete package. i don't like albums which are a series of individual songs that dont fit together. to me and album should flow from start to finish. i think this is something the chems managed to do very well over their first 3 albums.
i find the way an album starts is like meeting some one new, first impressions count!! when ever i record a mix album i try and make an intro, just to make it stand out. it so important!!!
my question to you people what is your favorite intro to an album???
mine would be for the album 'the pop will eat itself cure for sanity' from way back in good old 1990. the first track 'the incredible PWEI Vs the moral majority' is awesome!!! it less than 2 minutes long and has a teaser sample from every track, one by one in reverse sequence. but the main body of the track is the spoken word speech from tv evangelist jimmy swaggart. it's just crazy.
"What is the truth about rock music? Music is a powerful and perhaps the most powerful medium in the world. Music. Plato says when the music of a society changes, the whole society will change. Aristotle, a contemporary of Plato's, says when music changes there should be laws to govern the nature and the character of that music. Lenin says that the best and the quickest way to undermine any society is through its music...Music, ladies and gentleman, is the gift of God it was given to man to offer praises to God and to lift us up to him and to exalt Him to touch the tender recesses of our hearts and of our minds. Satan has taken music and he has counterfeited it, convoluted it, twisted it, exploited it and now he's using it to hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer a message into the minds and the lifestyles of this generation."
its really good stuff!!!

Anybody going to mention Speak To Me?

I think an intro is a great thing to help build a concept for a record - but on those same lines the record with a great intro should have a great outtro as well. It's the ultimate package!
I guess I just dig the whole "concept album" thing.
Good ones for me:
Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
Dig Your Own Hole - youknowho
Downward Spiral - NIN
Achtung Baby - U2

^ wanted to add that one of the reasons why I enjoy the Chemical Brothers' records is that they're all conceptual, great intros (and outtros too) they take you on a journey from lift-off to landing.

Best intro song ever would have to be 4 on the Richard D. James album
that's one of mine two, i love that song. How he can piece a drill + bass type rythm to beautiful chords and make it sound orasmic is beyond me
a few of my favoutrite intros are RHCP- californication (i love that distorted bass intro!!!)
Outkast-Stankonia (very cool)
the chemical brothers- come with us ( i'm very fond of the "come with us and leave your world behind" sample
QOTSA- Songs for the deaf (I can remember every word off the top of my head)

You should really go out right now and buy "The Love Below/ Speakerboxx" by Outkast. The love below is like a story but music. It's possibly the best album purchase I've made this year.

Ah, that's a great album - bought it last year and it would've been best music purchase but Radiohead's HTTT and the 30th an/DSOTM are better.

I would say Dig Your Own Hole, Come with Us, Dark Side of the Moon
Nice choices! I must say, you are a man after my own heart!
