It's a weird sense I've picked up after so many years of critiquing albums. The first track, and the first notes, occasionally act as the opener to the feel/aura/atmosphere/vibe of the album. Usually, the prediction is right. Sure, little bits of previous knowledge can play a factor. Example, I knew it was a krautroock album that went for an ambient side, two genres I never got into.
So is the line really that bad?
