I was pleased with this until I realised some of them would, for example, skip the intro of Octavarium, maybe fast forwarding a few sections of it too. One extreme case is someone who actually skipped to the 'Trapped Inside This Octavarium' bit, and only listened to that. Now I'm all for listening how you want, but that really does seem to be missing the whole point of that section to me.
If I listen to Octavarium, I usually skip the first twelve minutes or so
simply because I find them quite boring. Sometimes I just listen to
the finale because it's so cool. It's been a while since I've done that,
because having to skip sections to increase enjoyment of a piece
isn't really that much fun. It speaks for the quality of DT's writing in
their better moments that I bother to do this (with other bands I usually
don't bother playing such uneven songs at all), but I really wish they
would be more consistent so that I wouldn't feel the need to do this.
Having said that...
I always skip the outro of Misunderstood. I dislike it and find that it ruins the song. Therefore I don't listen to it.
For me that's the only song on Six Degrees that is perfect from start to finish.
