		ralphc on Sept 17, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Streaming is changing the sound of music A way to cheat on this is to have the intro technically be a separate song. Playing the album you get an extended intro, but you can just play the "main" song. The start of Judas Priest's "Screaming for Vengeance" album does this with "The Hellion" blending in to "Electric Eye". "Electric Eye" also has one of the greatest riff/hooks in metal starting off right at the beginning of the song.

It’s doubly cheating because in the streaming world that would mean 2 plays (assuming intro is >=30s)

At the same time it is very hard, next to impossible, to get them in the right order, unless it is a personalized playlist.

Haha, lucky enough to have heard this played live. It is a classic for the ages.
