More like first song of MY ASS! Haha just jokes. We like to have fun here. But not too much fun!

The only show where they make sure not to assume the gender of the child who killed themself on a McDonalds toy who they’re making fun of

Was kinda weird when riley said, "now we're gonna prepare for our next segment, 'What's Inside This Bass?'" and then ripped a live bass apart with his bare hands

As a mexican, when playboi carti says “see-yuh”, I hear him saying chair

i know you guys are big tom mcdonald fans but giving every one of his album openers an s seems a bit far

she said album i like opener

Riley was the darker one in this episode. Moral decay before our eyes.

1:20 Wesley's Theory 4:13 Teenage Fever 6:55 Thirsty 8:35 Rap God 11:05 Here Comes The Boom (Movie Version) 21:08 Ariana Grande w a Venti Latte 24:05 Hivemind 29:42 Teenage Fever 32:01 Grippy Delilah 37:22 Crack smoking tutorial by big G 42:11 Facial 52:01 Cleanup 58:06 Cuddle

Graydon saying the eye on Graduation looks like the Packers logo is actually so relieving, I thought I was crazy

What do you mean "i hope we get to do a modest mouse bracket some day"? It's your channel. you have full creative control, you can just do it.

To me, the best album opener is the picture of Graydon shooting his kids with an illegal makeshift BB Gun that begins Graydon’s family photo album. Powerful stuff!

the plant ads very little to the video, might I suggest replacing it with a tasteful Playboy centerfold, or a Gravedigger Poster

Timestamps Dreams and Nightmares 1:08 American Pie 2:44 Location 5:14 California Kids 6:41 Since I Left You 7:50 Love Sosa 9:11 Never Meant 12:10 Good Morning 14:14 Harder to Breathe 15:50 Disorder 19:38 Cops and Robbers 20:54 Plainsong 22:46 Wesley's Theory 24:58 I want Wind to Blow 25:14 Let it Happen 27:46 Everything in it's Right Place 29:36 Introvert 31:05 Nikes 31:53 Run Away With Me 34:58 Come Back to Earth 38:04 One More Time 39:05 Dance Yourself Clean 41:08 Trademark USA 42:00 Dramamine 45:21 Personal Picks 46:51 Saved 47:00 On Sight 47:37 Don't be Afraid 47:59 Brown Sugar 48:27 Bitch Where 48:58 Svfen-G-Englar 50:26 Horchata 50:38 Lord Knows 50:55 In Regards to Myself 51:20 With Them 51:56

riley has me riled up in this one. graydon has my kids.

Dis might be the acid speaking but Riley is ethereal in this. Damn near angelic. Plain beautiful!

I'm from latin america, I think Carti says 'silla' (chair)

Sorry I don’t have an album opener, does a bottle opener work?

Nice to know that the scab I inflicted upon myself after watching my first ever Hivemind video around 2.5 years ago has finally healed, just grabbing the cheese grater to start my next project. #thatswhatthepointofthemaskis #offmymeds

I think One More Time is a good intro just by the philosophy that it is not telling you to spin it again, it is *responding* to the fact that you *did* spin it again

So happy you guys are starting to do unboxing videos!! Can’t wait to see who can unwrap/open the plastic on these records the best 🤤. !!

Really feel like you guys need to start limiting this channel a little bit. It’s REALLY getting out of hand, you could hurt somebody.

I definitely would love to see this in bracket form, partially so that welcome to my island by caroline polachek can be included. Starting off the whole album with a literal welcome and that beautiful vocalization at the beginning is an amazing move

Wesley's theory easy S, probably the best song on the album too

Angel by Massive Attack and Storm by GY!BE I think both deserved to be here, I’d love to see a bracket of this tho

Riley really added a lot to this video, I hope he does well on his year end performance review

Porter Robinson - Lifelike (introduction to Nurture) is a masterfully done introduction to the soundscape, feelings, and sincerity of the album.

Putting this video in Q tier

I love the opening to my beautiful dark twisted Fantasy

Motor Spirit by King Gizzard is a great opener. It sets the scene perfectly for the album; the feel and sound of it is perfect, it begins the story amazingly and it transitions really well into the next song. Crumbling Castle is another really good opener of theirs.

American Pie is an incredible album. The title track, Till Tommorow, Vincent, Winterwood, Empty Chairs, and The Grave are all fantastic. Graydon's disrespect on the name of Don McLean is tough. Edit: I forgive Graydon. At least he didn't make fun a dead child.

"Untitled", the first song from the first album from Interpol. It literally lets you know from the start what you are going to get from these NYC gods.

Riley, I'll see you in court. Death Cab predates American Football.

the dance yrself clean disrespect is insane, literally the BEST song in the video and it is not even close

The circumcision was a strange touch but a welcome one 🤤

Thank you

Emily Montes’ song EmiLy being the only S tier, as well as the only song on the tier list, is a strange decision but I respect y’all’s opinions nonetheless.

"Farewell Transmission" by Songs: Ohia is a perfect opener in my opinion. It was also recorded in a single take which is crazy. The Magnolia Electric Co. is one of my favorite albums of all time so if this song gets into the next video I would be ecstatic

A couple of my favourites: Fear not of man, Mos Def Tangled up in blue, Bob Dylan Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is, Grant Green Dramamine, Modest Mouse Spiraling Prism, Herbie Hancock Runner, Alex G Fight test, The Flaming Lips American Flags, Tom MacDonald and Adam Calhoun

Neighborhood 1# (tunnels) is a perfect intro

Sugar/tzu by black midi is a great opener

One of my favorite opening songs is OH! TENGO SUERTE on SEYCHELLES by Masayoshi Takanaka

My favorite opener is the end my chemical romance, the theatrics of that song pull you into the bombastic album so well

Graydon looks like he’s from the 1920s

Love y’all thank you for making this channel the more content the better!

Q tier vid guys, we love to see it

Riley, I appreciate you maintaining secrecy over the fact that Diggy knows what the One piece is and he's already told you.

love to see some more crustacean themed content from you guys, loving the crabs

Never meant is so iconic and a defining moment. Needs an S+ rating

Best album opener is and always will be Cherub Rock from Siamese Dream by Smashing Pumpkins. Here are some other killer album openers 1. Green Day - American Idiot from American Idiot 2. Fall Out Boy - Tell That Mick He Just Made My List Of Things To Do Today from Take This To Your Grave 3. CHVRCHES - The Mother We Share from The Bones of What You Believe 4. Mossgiver - The Song Among Branches from The Song Among Branches 5. My Chemical Romance - Helena from Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge 6. Deftones - Diamong Eyes from Diamond Eyes 7. Darkthrone - Kathaarian Life Code from A Blaze In The Northern Sky 8. Linkin Park - Papercuts from Hybrid Theory 9. Lizzy McAlpine - Doomsday from five seconds flat

Never knew Graydon was 30, holy shit that's old! 😂

Ayyy I've been hoping for a tier list for this!

Better see something from the Grand Canyon photo album on here

riley being a fan of lives by modest mouse and considering it one of his favs is so real. that's my fav modest mouse song, rivaled only by 3rd planet and bukowski. it makes me cry, such a fantastic song

some of my favorite album openers that weren’t mentioned: Alvvays - In Undertow Weyes Blood - A Lot’s Gonna Change Elliott Smith - Speed Trials Quadeca - sorry4dying Vampire Weekend - Mansard Roof Lil Yachty - the BLACK seminole. Caroline Polachek - Welcome to My Island Black Country, New Road - Chaos Space Marine MGMT - Time to Pretend Cocteau Twins - Cherry-coloured Funk Stevie Wonder - Love’s in Need of Love Today Yves Tumor - Gospel for a New Century Interpol - Untitled Tyler, the Creator - Foreword brakence - bugging! The Velvet Underground - Sunday Morning

SAOKO by Rosalia is one of my favorite openers- it's a banger that puts so much energy into the whole album experience. It couldn't be anywhere else on the album, and I couldn't imagine another song opening MOTOMAMI.

Like a rolling stone, what's going on, Do i move you, and let's go crazy

Making a tier list did a lot for this video

yo the entire video i was thinking of "in regards to myself", hearing it actually get mentioned is tight. such a banger of an opener to a total banger of an album.

You guys were so funny today

So relieved to see come back to earth

introduction (instructions) snubbed

Graydon: I am a convicted war criminal and #1 on the FBI’s most wanted list Riley’s shirt: 👾🇧🇶🦅

"To the Blade" off Get to Heaven by Everything Everything. That songs hits you like a truck in every sense.

Damn I thought I was the only one that always saw the packers logo in Graduations cover

Tim Hecker has some incredible first tracks throughout his discography. Song of the Highwire Shrimper, Rainbow Blood, Prism, The Piano Drop, Music for Tundra, Acephale, Monotony - he just knows exactly where to drop the listener before guiding them along the rest of the journey.

Please do best intro songs bracket! Also Spot Dog off of The Japanese House’s album “In The End It Always Does” is fire

Love when Hivemind actually talk about music

if you like great pop albums with perfect intro songs, you need to get into maisie peters. one of my favorite things about her is the way her intros are always a title track that perfectly encapsulates the album. the intro on her second album, the good witch, is so so perfect to me, especially the way it calls back to the intro on the first album, you signed up for this

i’d really like to see an interlude tier list from yall sometime :)

at the bottom of everything by bright eyes gotta be up there. (also a modest mouse or bright eyes bracket from y'all would make my year)

you guys should def do a bracket of these. also a modest mouse bracket would be sick, yes, please, thanks in advance

Love's in need of love today. The best first few seconds of any album. Also Melt Session #1

god you're right riley, with them is a perfect intro. love ss3 so much

Yes please we need a bracket for this. And we now also need a bracket for the best closing songs on albums

i stan this format

I think I speak for everyone when I say we want a full bracket video on the main channel

Igor's theme is my favorite intro ever, it's the perfect intro for the album , some of the best production you can hear. It's perfect

Nettspend at S was a no brainer Diglet !

I think a first songs bracket would be splended!

Long Time off of Die Lit is prob one of the best intro songs to an album

putting this video is Q tier

I know they'll never talk about her since she's primarily popular in Australia and NZ (if I'm not mistaken) so I want to throw Kimbra's 'Settle Down' out into the void of KZfaq comments. Vows is one of my favorite albums of all time and that first track is just a stupid good intro and standalone track. Starts with this quiet acapella bit that seamlessly transitions into the background as the rest of the sound spills in. And the drop into the hook is just fucking unbelievable. I highly recommend that entire album to everyone. And yes, it is *that* Kimbra; the one with the feature on 'Somebody That I Used to Know'.

if there’s a bracket i need desperately to see excursions by a tribe called quest from the low end theory, it sets the tone for one of the best albums ever by being one of the best ATCQ songs

love seeing In Regards To Myself getting an honorable mention nod from Riley. DTGL is a beast of an album and one very dear to my teenage years. Those whole list has so many hitters though, I'm glad they really touched on so many genres

graydon talking about knxwledge is really important for me

Hey guys what happened to Diglett haven’t seen him around in a while

So glad Graydon picked Bitch Where, such a victory lap for Keef. So inspiring and triumphant, it makes you feel like you can do anything.

yes, i hear yes ya! love you los haiv maind!

the Black seminole

love seeing the underoath shoutout from Riley, i’ve always loved their album They’re Only Chasing Safety most but I agree the opener to Define the Great Line is such a fitting intro. a few favourites of mine that immediately come to mind: Such Small Hands/ A Departure by La Dispute (both are such strong starts i couldn’t decide which, lead you into the concepts of their respective albums really well) High for This by The Weeknd (perfect way to introduce you to the sex/drug fuelled ride you’re in for) Beef Rapp by MF DOOM (iconic sample usage and clever lyrical content to drive home the food themes across the record)

I got 5 that I would've included: - Intro by The xx on xx (kinda obvious, but there's a reason why. I love this album and it's one of the most iconic instrumental tracks ever. What a beautiful project) - Is This It by The Strokes on Is This It (they have so many and, though it's not my fav individual song, as I preffer What Ever Happened? off of Room On Fire or the classic You Only Live Once, outside of The Adults Are Talking on The New Abnormal, which you already mentioned on a video so to change it up, Is This It works the best as an intro. It's trippy, it's funky, and it was very different for them at the time for it being the 1st song on their debut, as they were known for being more of a garage punk band) - Brianstorm by Arctic Monkeys on Favourite Worst Nightmare (bombastic. I'm a big fan of calming or slowburn intros, but this one's too fire I can get behind the firework show. Insane instrumentation and just a bit better lead track than the one on their debut. It's also more iconic, tho not as Do I Wanna Know?) - Hard Times by Paramore on After Laughter (love this album. Could've gone with the self-titled on This Is Why or even Careful, but the vibes on AL are immaculate. Very Talking Heads inspired and 80's alt overall. It's such a bop. One of my fav songs period) - Jumpsuit by Twenty One Pilots on Trench (I know you aren't crazy about them but this is THE album for them and as song is one of the standouts for sure. I do preffer Ode To Sleep on Vessel as an intro but Trench is the better album and Jumpsuit the better song. Also bombastic. Electric bass work from Tyler and drumming as well. Def an epic intro and one of their most rock tracks. I've yet to see someone disliking this tune)

This video really came together in post - Dignan

“Feeling Gravity’s Pull” by R.E.M. on Fables of the Reconstruction is my favorite album opener.

Blonde -OsamaSon Brakhage -Sterolab and The Race -TayK were the first ones i thought of

Serve the Servants off In Utero by Nirvana. Perfectly establishes the sound and style, especially that first chord just pulls you in, and lyrically it shows the growth and change in perspective Kurt at least felt that he had since the previous albums. I mean "teenage angst has paid off well, but now I'm bored and old" is one of the best opening lines ever.

Fazers is the flawless opening track of Take me To Your Leader. Sets the tone perfectly.

was really expecting smartwater in riley's picks... not disappointed bc icedancer isn't everything but as someone who also considers it my favorite album ever, smartwater is a crazy good intro track

It's really heartwarming to see you guys completely lose it, (it being the plot), jump it (it being the shark) and eat it (it being the fuck) once again

I was soooo worried that With Them wasn’t going to be in there. I sent it in and didn’t see it until the man himself Riley saved my day thank you

(To the tune of All the Small Things): Rileyyyy Graydonnnn DJ Gra-antttt
