This was my first album of AFI's, and though their latest stuff isn't too impressive I was inspired to check out their earlier stuff after listening to this album. Maybe since I started here that is why I like the album so much while so many fans bash it.

I thought this opener was really cool...dark and ominous. Yet it still didn't give me any hints about what to expect from the rest of their music (and that ended up being a good thing). It kept me intrigued and as it ended I had high expectations for what was in store. Needless to say, with the Leaving Song Part 2 following it, I was hooked on this album from the first time I listened to it.

How about this one, good 'ol Porcupine Tree, it's short and simple and carries into Synesthesia so well:
Porcupine Tree - 'What You Are Listening To / Synesthesia' (ALBUM: Up The Downstair)


(Unfortunately I couldn't find a vid where they've been combined so you can't really get the feel of how it flows straight after the spoken intro. Plus Youtubes quality is crap)
