So what is your guys favorite album opener and closer? And why?

 

Mine are Opener: Politik. Probably the best Coldplay song, and it's just such an epic way to start such an epic cd, especially those first 5 songs!

Closer: DAAHF. Also one of my favorite Coldplay songs, and that chant at the end is just such a breathtaking way to end an amazing album.

 

Keep in mine for the purpose of this thread I'm not including hidden tracks.

Opener: either Politik or Life in Technicolor

Closer: Death and all his friends

opener: Square one, because of the spacey feel.

closer: Death and all his friends because of the progression during the last part and the boys singing " no I don't want battle from beginning to end. I don't want a cycle of recycled revenge. I don't want to follow death and all of his friends!"

Opener: Politik

Closer: The Escapist

opener: Don't panic. Always gets to me. And when I put Parachutes on, it just sets the right mood. And the 2 acoustic guitars coming together is better than any intro.

 

closer: Death and all his friends for sure. Slowly fades away after the chant explosion.

Opener: Don't Panic

Closer: Amsterdam

Opener: don't panic

Closer: amsterdam

Opener: So difficult. I love "Square One", "Politik" and "Don't Panic"... but If I had to decide, I would choose "Politik"

I like both Life in Technicolor II and Politik as a opener.
