i mean jarring in a good way
Only Shallow is my top choice ever
King Crimson do a pretty fucking great job on ITCOTCK & Red especially
I don't want to include metal because jarring openings tend to be pretty standard in metal

v good point
Pretty much the Death Grips discography, their openers are always jarring. Pic related is imo the best.

Death Grips itself is jarring

Get got is so smooth and chill it's not even funny
Can the second track be considered the album opener when the first track is only a minute long and pretty much only an introduction? If yes then definitely this.
one of the many things i love about pic related is the way that it immediately starts out as this sort of exultant explosion of sound that really puts you off guard because you usually expect some kind of build up to that shit
and then you get to the final track and realize that the buildup was hiding in plain sight the whole time

that's jarring in and of itself though, considering that it's the opener of the follow-up to an album that got attention for being relentlessly raw and primal and intense

I see your argument but I knew nothing of death grips when I first heard the money store so I had no expectations and a very different experience.

lol, Get Got isn't jarring, so don't act like it is.
