I think one would be hard-pressed to find a start to an album that is better than the first 2:50 of Wobbler - From Silence to Somewhere:

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.
