System of a Down’s album Toxicity. Prison Song’s opening note is basically what defines the experience.
I have a salty memory about buying that album. I grabbed it based solely on the first album, which I fucking LOVED. I went to the record store in my town to buy it, and I was so stoked to get home and listen to it all the way through without ever hearing a single thing from the album. I walk up to the counter to buy it on day one, and the guy behind the counter is like, "sick album," or whatever. Then, instead of ringing me up, he turns and changes the track on the store's sound system. It plays the opening thrums of Prison Song, and even though I hadn't heard the album yet, I knew moments into the track what he'd done. I was devastated. I was so ready to have a religious experience with the album, only to have some shithead ruin the first track for me. I mean, I really can't blame him, it's not like there is some rule against what he did. He probably thought he was showing solidarity with another fan, but he crushed me. Still love that album, though. Steal This Album is criminally underrated, too.
The album that got me into SOAD.
