Opener: "Hexagram" is my favorite opener, to me it ecompasses everything the self titled album offers.
Closer:  "This Place is Death" I think the melancholy tone is a perfect ending.

Both of mine have to be from White pony Pink maggit and feiticeira just contrast each other so well really shows how dynamic the album is.Plus White Pony was like nothing id heard before so they make a big impression.

hexagram and pink maggit, there really aren't any other options

I agree with Pink Maggit, for sure... Regarding the opener, it's hard : Hexagram is great, but Bored is pretty good too... The opening riff sounds great as an album start !



If ignorance is bliss, then knock the smile off my face.

Yea Bored also is great the way it builds up is perfect for an opener.

After thinking about it, every album excels at intro/outro songs.

Worst opener ever is Back To School on the White Pony re-issue.

Hexagram for sure as an opener. Almost shit my pants the first time I heard it.
Rivière is an awesome close to SNW although I personally think that album would have been better with Kim Dracula directly after rivière. That's how I listen to it on Spotify and I think it sound much better. (give it a try)

Nah, I think Rivière has to be the closer. The final part of the song really has a "sad end" feel, and it also feels like the end of some kind of book, unlike the end of Kimdracula.

i've read that this place is death was supposed to be the opener of the album.and i guess diamond eyes was supposed to be the closer since the ending sound of 967-evil, is the same sound as the first seconds of the track diamond eyes. old news maybe

SomeOf

Opener: Hexagram / Feiticeira = Directly in the mood of the album.
Closer:  MX

Opener: Feiticeira

Closer: Rivière and This Place Is Death. Although I prefer Rivière, I can't leave TPID unmentioned. I love this song!

Edit: Ah, and Pink Maggit of course! This is just too hard...
