i can't read the blue properly

This is actually a cool idea given the I&W comparisons (very few of which are valid, IMO, but still).  Decided to number them so you can see both album rankings at once.  Images kinda bends ADTOE over in terms of overall quality, IMO, but those top 4 songs are some of DT's best work.

1. Learning to Live
2. Take the Time
3. Under a Glass Moon
4. Metropolis
1. Breaking All Illusions
2. Far From Heaven
3. Bridges in the Sky
5. Pull Me Under
4. Beneath the Surface
6. Surrounded
5. Outcry
7. Wait for Sleep
6. On the Backs of Angels
8. Another Day
7. Build Me Up, Break Me Down
8. This is the Life
9. Lost Not Forgotten

[The Silent Cody]

1. Metropolis
2. Brigdes In The Sky
3. Outcry
4. Learning To Live
5. Lost Not Forgotten
6. Under A Glass Moon
7. Take The Time
8. On The Backs Of Angels
9. Build Me Up, Bring Me Down
10. Another Day
11. This Is The Life
12. Pull Me Under
13. Beneath The Surface
14. Wait For Sleep
15. Breaking All Illusions
16. Far From Heaven
17. Surrounded

That was freaking tough!!

Any list that leaves Metropolis out of the top three I can't take very seriously.

Anyone that doesn't allow thinking out of the mainstream I can't take at all seriously.

I'm not "allowing thinking out of the mainstream"?  How is that even possible?  Anyone who doesn't consider Metropolis as one of the top DT songs of all time has an opinion regarding DT music that is worthless to me.  For other people with similar low Metropolis rankings it is likely interesting.  The key is, that while I don't care about those crappy lists, other people obviously do.

Alright.

[Cranky]

Any list that leaves Metropolis out of the top three I can't take very seriously. 

I&W was and still is unparalleled.  It has three songs on it that are so well written and performed that they are borderline unreal.  Even so, ADTOE does have a very solid core of four songs that really carry the album for me and make it their best in quite sometime.

1.) Metropolis
2.) Learning to Live
3.) Take the Time
4.) Breaking All Illusions
5.) Under a Glass Moon
6.) Outcry
7.) Bridges in the Sky
8.) Beneath the Surface
9.) Surrounded
10.) Pull Me Under
11.) On the Backs of Angels
12.) Wait for Sleep
13.) Another Day
14.) Lost Not Forgotten
15.) Far From Heaven
16.) This is the Life
17.) Build Me Up, Break Me Down

Any list who ranks Build Me Up, Build Me Down as 17th on their list, I can't take seriously.
