To me I think a good intro is one that sets the tone for the album but also manages to divert expectations or invite you to the world being built on the rest of the album. Which intros come to mind on reading that?

5 of my favorite intros of all time

Almighty so2 still my AOTY

ALONE AGAIN.

Perfectly sets the tempo and atmosphere of what After Hours would consist of.

Wanted to include this but decided not to simply because I do not understand what "I'm everywhere I'm so Julia" means

Gasoline

Same!

I haven't heard a dua lipa album yet because I always thought she was making the same track over and over again but that song hits hard ngl

Gunna - Private Island
Nardo Wick - Wickman
Beyoncé - I’m That Girl and American Requiem

I wanted to post Gasoline but it's track 2 technically it's the intro to me tho and damn is it a beautiful one
One of my favorite songs by him ever

champagne poetry so good it’s a detriment to the album

I might get cursed for this but I never heard a porter robinson album because I think he makes Samsung ringtone/alarm music

I feel you first listen on that album was terrible listening to 20 songs looking for one that sounds on the same level as the intro

It really does set a tone

Dua shade

Kingdom Come vibes

Forgot about this album

future nostalgia is album of the decade

this one sets the tone perfectly and samples too $hort
