You know what to do.

Just realized that this album won in a poll for best prog album by Rolling Stone... cool, but it makes no sense, Rolling Stone hates prog...

This is going to be one of those survivors where it is *completely pointless* for me to vote for my least favorite song.  (which, btw is "HOME")

So I'll just be voting to save my favorites.  (Beyond This Life, Fatal Tragedy)

I suppose it's safe to start with Regression.   Although I think One Last Time should be in the running as well.

Through Her Eyes is the only song I wouldn't miss if it didn't make the album, so my vote goes to that.

They're all so good that I'm not voting. I can't believe the votes for Regression. Is it because it's one of the shortest? I think it's a great intro to SFAM.

I imagine because people think it's the least amazing.

I didn't vote for it myself, but it's not brilliant in the same way as a song like Fatal Tragedy, The Spirit Carries On or Finally Free is. Can't hope to compete, realistically. I can understand voting it out first. Well, okay, not before Through My Words, I don't have a clue why anyone's voting it off before TMW, but... you get the gist!

That said, I think it enriches the album in a way that a song like Through Her Eyes doesn't. Take THE out and, while it's a perfectly pleasant song, I might not even notice. Take Regression out and the whole album's weaker for it. So I do take your point.

After BTL and FT, THE is a great relaxing song that prepares you for Home. But on it's own, I agree it's not as great as the others.

Regression. 

This is going to be a tough album for me.

I couldn't agree more.  I view the album as one long story each song with a key role and I've always listened to it that way.  I will have to relisten and try to evaluate each track as a stand alone.  For the first round I will have to go with Regression only because it is so short.

I would join your assault on Home as well
For now though, Through Her Eyes will do

If I listen to SFAM in full, I don't skip TMW. However, it feels like the least necessary song on the album - the piano outro in SDV could go straight into Fatal Tragedy. I know it's lyrically important as part of the story but musically it's just a filler track - Regression serves as an introduction and I wouldn't erase it from the tracklist.
