79-21=Pure Awesome!

[bosk1]

I know I'm going to catch a lot of criticism for this, but I'm just listening to my EP version of Systematic Chaos on iTunes and appreciating how amazingly awesome it is when you rearrange the tracks a bit and cut out the 21 minutes of PoW and TMOLS that, to me, create way too much of a lull that make me lose interest in the album.

My track list and track order:
ITPOE1
ITPOE2
Forsaken
Constant Motion
Repentence
TDEN

Perfection.

[RandalGraves]

Nice.  I'm not nuts about Constant Motion, but I can see this working out a lot better.  I recently did this with Opeth's Watershed (cutting off the last two tracks).

[glaurung]

I was going to start cutting songs I would get rid of ITPOE Part 2 and Forsaken before anything else.

[yeshaberto]

*criticizes*

[KevShmev]

Is there a way I can get rid of both "Forsaken" and "Constant Motion," but keep the guitar solos? 

[Nick]

Didn't you make this thread like, 6 months ago?

Anyway I agree with cutting Ministry, but PoW is awesome.

[Dublagent66]

Remove PoW only = Awesome.

[hefdaddy42]

Systematic Chaos minus Constant Motion, Forsaken, and Prophets of War = tasty.

[Shadow2222]

Forsaken, Prophets of War, and TMOLS are my favorite songs off the album.

[Dark Master Of Sin]

I really like TMOLS but I don't like PoW...

[Bombardana]

I recently did this with Opeth's Watershed (cutting off the last two tracks).

[pogoowner]

The Ministry of Lost Souls is one of the best parts of the album. Cut The Dark Eternal Night instead.

[icarus4321]

Yeah, I would prefer to lose POW and TDEN myself.

[ScioPath]

The Ministry of Lost Souls is one of the best parts of the album. Cut The Dark Eternal Night instead.

alright. first sentence =  
second sentence =  

[Sigz]

The Ministry of Lost Souls is one of the best parts of the album. Cut ITPOE pt. 2 instead.

this


TMOLS is kinda meh too though, just because of the instrumental section.

[antigoon]

Just get rid of The Reckoning from ITPOE 2 and cut a minute or two off the end of Repentance and you have a much better record.

[Mebert78]

"The Ministry of Lost Souls" is the best, most beautiful song from the past two albums, in my opinion.  Personally, that would be the last thing I would cut.

Wtf, wrong way round.

PoW would be the first one to go for me.

[xeper]

The guitar solo in TMOLS would make a great album.
Seriously, that solo is bitchin'.

[OsMosis2259]

Remove Prophets of War and then I think it is a much better album. 

[antigoon]

You guys suck, Prophets of War is one of the best tracks on that record. Whether that says more about my opinion of the record or my opinion of the track I will leave up to you.

Srsly this.  Hessian Peel is too amazing to leave off.

As for an EP version of Systematic Chaos, if you took off TDEN and CM too I think it would be better.  Of course, "Forsaken" and "Repentance" are the only songs from SC that I listen to with any regularity.

[Cool Chris]

FINALLY! Someone gets it. CM and TDEN are two of the worst songs in their entire catalog. I would rank the below album in top 5 easily, maybe top 4.

I don't particularly like Repentance/PoW where they are, but don't know how else to situate them. I personally like the separation of ItPoE, and love Ministry. Forsaken and PoW are good songs I enjoy as well.


In the Presence of Enemies pt 1
Forsaken
Repentance (up till the apologies start)
Prophets of War
The Ministry of Lost Souls
the Presence of Enemies pt 2 * Damn cut-and-paste *

[ScioPath]

itpoe1 twice?

[hefdaddy42]

You guys suck, Prophets of War is one of the best tracks on that record. Whether that says something about the record or the track I will leave up to you

Well, it certainly says something about you.

[antigoon]

Fair enough.

[hefdaddy42]

My thoughts exactly.

[antigoon]

Well, at least I edited it so that it makes sense now.

[Darkes7]

Omg, not another "Systematic Chaos EP" thread...

The album is perfect the way it is. Period.

[robwebster]

Just so everyone's aware, 79-21 = 58. Which, if nothing else, is proof that this was intentional and the band wanted everyone to nix those songs.

(Even though I quite like POW and TMOLS.)

[Setlist Scotty]

*criticizes*

Word.

[kirbywelch92]

79-21=58!!!!

FUCKIN' NUGGETS, HOW DO THEY WORK??
