The first four songs of Gigaton are so good. What a run. Arguably the best 4 song run in the catalog. outside of maybe some combination of tracks 2-8 on Ten
Agree on the "arguably the best run" point.
And especially if we're talking best four to start a record.
For record opening four songs it's tough to beat the first two...I mean Vs. starts Go, Animal, Daughter and the fourth song could be me singing in the shower and it'd still be tough to beat. Personally, I'd take Vitalogy...Last Exit, Spin, NFY, Tremor Christ...but that's because Last Exit is a top 5 song for me.
For me it's the opening run of Yield all the way through Wishlist. Top tier songwriting, playing, singing. Alchemy.

I vote Quick Escape because I like the storytelling and the third verse is just so vivid. Plus I'm always a sucker for an extended outro where Mike gets to run off leash.
I don't think "Gave up on satisfaction" is very interesting or sonorous as a hook. Alas.

Holy shit Stip what about NFY thru Whipping. Or the first 4 of Yield. Or....
NFY to Whipping is pretty close, but I think this just edges it out. I don't think the first 4 songs on Yield are anything special, but i'm pretty meh on faithfull and No Way is interesting but not a classic.
I hate to challenge the boss on this, but Faithfull has the best drum performance in the entire catalog. The way Mike and Stone change guitar tones to reinvigorate the repeating riff in the middle section is also quite good, though I can admit that if you're not a guitar player yourself that might not catch your ear.
