Through My Words, I always skip it
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.

Good point.
Perhaps you should ask bosk to reverse the "e" and "a" in the second half of your user name.

Much to my surprise, Beyond this life is usually one of the first ones to go after the shorter songs. It's a shame most people don't think it's that great, I absolutely love it and consider it to be the best song on the album.

Why is there already hate for The Dance of Eternity?  I LOVE that song because it's so freaking complex.

Because it doesn't go anywhere and it's just mindless wankery. Yes, it's complex, yes it's kind-of difficult to play but not overly, yes it's but together 'quite' well, but it doesn't flow, isn't memorable apart from being 'difficult', which it really isn't and it's completely out of context on SFAM. It's probably one of my favourite 'songs' to play on guitar and I actually played it with my band, but as a SONG, it's just not good.

I never touched skip for the first five tracks of this album, really never.

Through My Words, I always skip it

This little song has one of the best vocal melodies in DT discography IMO, you are truly missing out.

It's not too difficult to figure out. It's basically 0.

Through My Words and Regression have to go out of the way, before I can launch an attack on the Dance of Eternity.
I already launched mine, just to make a statement :P
I'm with you.
I'll join you at the next round. It is cool, but too long.
