Top 10 Ways to Predict a Song is the Best of Its Album Without Listening to It
We all have our favorite song from an album but sometimes you can predict which song out of the ones in the album is the best. Now this list is not saying that these assumptions are gonna be 100% true because sometimes what you thought was gonna be the best of the album turned out to be one of the worst or the worst of the album this list is predictions that may or may not be your pick for best song.This mostly applies to Progressive Rock/Metal and Power Metal Genres but sometimes the best song of an album can be the longest song,
Example:
Iced Earth's Dante's Inferno is the longest song on Burnt Offerings and it was the best song on that album.
You don't need to listen to the song to look at the lyrics.
Most albums come with a thing that has all the songs lyrics however this depends on your definition of "good" lyrics but remember you also need a "good" instrumental/beat/ Rhythm/whatever the hell you call it, a song could have great lyrics but a terrible instrumental. Plus some people prefer instrumentals over lyrics so...
These are Title Tracks these are songs named after albums (or sometimes the other way around) and most of the time the title track is the best or one of the best songs from the album so this would be one to consider being the best.
Meaning people only like this certian song and dislike all the other ones.
Example: Painkiller by Judas Priest is consdidered their best song and it's the best of it's album (it's also a title track)
This counts too for Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
Again this is not always true but if a certain song gets lots of praise off the album it might just be the best
This isn't always true but it can be.
This item is last place because this is a bad assumption, being the most popular sometimes it can be the best, But for me most of the time it isn't
This applies to albums with songs from multiple artists most likely your favorite song is probably the one you like the most
Sometimes artists rerecord songs which most of the time they fix things like production and may have a different line then what they had when they first made the song
