QOTD: Best 3 Song Stretches • Page 4

1000% agree with the MOBO and MCS picks, two of my favorite album-opening stretches.

 

Sputnik > Stranger By The day > Valentine (Shades Apart "Eyewitness")

 

Trying to think of some that haven't already been mentioned.

Circa Survive - Juturna:
In Fear And Faith -> The Great Golden Baby -> Stop The Fucking Car

Sigur Ros - ( ):
Untitled 1 -> Untitled 2 -> Untitled 3

Thursday - No Devolucion:
No Answers -> A Darker Forest -> Sparks Against The Sun

The National - Boxer:
Fake Empire -> Mistaken For Strangers -> Brainy

Moving Mountains - S/T:
Hands -> Seasonal -> Eastern Leaves

Pianos Become The Teeth - Keep You:
Old Jaw -> Repine -> Late Lives

 

Some others I thought of today:

"All of Everything Erased" -> "Carnival" -> "Another Bag of Bones"
-Kevin Devine, "Brother's Blood"

"Optimist" -> "Terrorish" -> "Never Better"
-P.O.S, "Never Better"

"Purple Haze" -> "Manic Depression" -> "Hey Joe"
-The Jimi Hendrix Experience, "Are You Experienced?"

 

First three tracks on juturna

 

My Own Summer-Lhabia-Mascara

 

Mr. E. Mann / Fired Up / Dimed Out

 

It might be because of my obsession with Moving Mountains' self-titled lately, but I'm all about "Seasonal" -> "Eastern Leaves" -> "Hudson".

Also, off of Copeland's Ixora, "Like A Lie" -> "Chiromancer" -> "World Turn".

 

I forgot how good "Point of Extinction" ---> "Antonia" ---> "Even If It Kills Me" is

 

Pardon me asking, but what is this from? Those song titles don't ring a bell and I'm curious!

 

Even If It Kills Me by Motion City Soundtrack

 

Best three song stretches from this year so far:

O'Brother: Your Move-Deconstruct-Complicated End Times
Future: Maybach-Xanny Family-Lil Haiti Baby

 

This would be mine, just incredibly solid.

 

going to listen to this now. forgot about this.

 

Mojo Pin - Grace - Last Goodbye

Unbelievable way to start an album

 

Airbag -> Paranoid Android -> Subterranean Homesick Alien : OK Computer

Red Handed Sleight of Hand -> Art is Hard -> The Recluse : The Ugly Organ

End of the Summer -> Victoria -> Schley : Never Hungover Again

 

Tough for me to think of one better than "Losing A Whole Year" into "Narcolepsy" into "Semi-Charmed Life"

 

There's a better one on that very album! Background / Motorcycle / Wine

 

No One Knows, First It Giveth, A Song For the Dead.

 

It is actually pretty hard to get three in a row, the best from my entire library:

Heart out-->Settle Down-->Robbers (The 1975)
Gin Joints -->Dance,Dance-->Sugar (Fall Out Boy)
Undercover Martyn-->What You Know-->Eat that up, it's good for you (Two Door Cinema Club)
Do You Want it All-->This is the Life-->Something Good Can Work (Two Door Cinema Club)
All Down Hill From Here-->This Disaster-->Truth of my Youth (New Found Glory)
The Writer-->Every time You Go-->Wish I Stayed (Ellie Goulding)

 

The first and the last are the best on the album, but Antonia is nothing special for me. Also Last Night is amazing, of course.

 

It might be my 2nd favorite MCS song, but I know a lot of people seem to not feel that song

 

Oh oh oh, B Team, So Soon, No Place Like Home.

Or, Ever After, Haven't Had Enough, By Now.

 

Not to change the subject, but how do you like Happy Anniversary? Hold me Down, Last Night, and Happy Anniversary came on in a row on MCS shuffle in my car the other day and it inspired me to ask Justin to consider playing Happy Anniversary on the farewell tour. He said it was a mood killer lol.

 

How's It Going To Be -> Thanks a Lot -> Burning Man (Third Eye Blind - Self Titled). Kind of hard cuz the whole progression of the album is gold.
