Some albums kick in with a banger. Others start shy until it picks up later or remain mellow. But some albums really want to intrigue us from the start, making us scratch our heads with some weird shit that may or may not be how the entire album is going to sound like. If the rest of the album is unlike the first track or it has similarities but it's not as extreme in its presentation, well, if the track makes you think "who the hell starts an album like that?", then the track belongs to this list.
