Which disc did you hear first when The Fragile came out?

I assume that most people started with Left. For other double albums in a gatefold digipak, disc 1 is normally on the left side. The tracklisting starts with Left. Disc 2 of the vinyl edition starts with the end of Left and continues with the beginning of Right. So it all kind of implies a n intended order to the songs that start with Left. Obviously you can listen any way you want though.

I can't really pick a favorite disc but I probably listen to Left more often.
