1. Outcry vs. One Last Time - Outcry is another one of those newer songs that's just amazing.
2. Burning My Soul vs. Learning to Live - I really don't think this needs any explanation.
3. This Dying Soul vs. The Mirror - Another no-brainer for me.
4. You Not Me vs. Prophets of War - Two of least favorite songs, but I like the groove in Prophets.
5. The Dance of Eternity vs. Honor Thy Father - See No. 2
6. In the Presence of Enemies vs. Take Away My Pain - This was a tough choice but TAMP is a beautiful song. (The demo version is even better)
7. Light Fuse and Get Away vs. Beneath the Surface - Beautiful song and LFaGA is one of my least favorite songs.
8. Disappear vs. The Count of Tuscany - Tough choice but TCoT is a masterpiece.
9. To Live Forever vs. The Shattered Fortress - See No 2 and No 5.
10. The Ones Who Help to Set the Sun vs. Build Me Up, Break Me Down - Not a fan of TOWHtStS.
11. Afterlife vs. Innocence Faded - Two great songs, but James's vocals and John's outro solo are two of my favorite DT moments.
12. The Ministry of Lost Souls vs. Only a Matter of Time - One of the brights spots on WDaDU.

Beneath the Surface
Disappear (again - yes REALLY)
To Live Forever (no brainer)
Build Me Up, Break Me Down
Only a Matter of Time

Week 4-C

1.   Outcry vs. One Last Time (Outcry is cool aside from the lyrics in my opinion, but OLT is one of my favorites on SFAM)
2.   Burning My Soul vs. Learning to Live
3.   This Dying Soul vs. The Mirror (Extremely close... TDS wins because of the awesome intro)
4.   You Not Me vs. Prophets of War (YNM is DT's worst song)
5.   The Dance of Eternity vs. Honor Thy Father (Close but HTF wins, even though it is flawed it's still a fun song)
6.   In the Presence of Enemies vs. Take Away My Pain (ItPoE =

)
7.   Light Fuse and Get Away vs. Beneath the Surface
8.   Disappear vs. The Count of Tuscany
9.   To Live Forever vs. The Shattered Fortress
10.   The Ones Who Help to Set the Sun vs. Build Me Up, Break Me Down (

only YNM is worse than BMU BMD)
11. Afterlife vs. Innocence Faded
12. The Ministry of Lost Souls vs. Only a Matter of Time (Yes TMoLS is flawed and the instrumental section is a bit ridiculous and drawn out, but it still beats OAMOT imo)

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if You Not Me or Never Enough won against TLF, just because those songs are on full-length studio albums and some people are too lazy to listen to B-sides...

DebraKadabra · « **Reply #11 on:** January 10, 2013, 03:21:55 AM »

Yeah... I was thinking the same thing.

wasteland · « **Reply #12 on:** January 10, 2013, 06:53:17 AM »

The scarce amount of votes for B-Sides is starting to become concerning

1. Outcry vs. One Last Time
2. Burning My Soul vs. Learning to Live
3. This Dying Soul vs. The Mirror
4. You Not Me vs. Prophets of War
5. The Dance of Eternity vs. Honor Thy Father
6. In the Presence of Enemies vs. Take Away My Pain
7. Light Fuse and Get Away vs. Beneath the Surface
8. Disappear vs. The Count of Tuscany
9. To Live Forever vs. The Shattered Fortress
10. The Ones Who Help to Set the Sun vs. Build Me Up, Break Me Down (I want to see Milena's stance on this one

)
11. Afterlife vs. Innocence Faded
12. The Ministry of Lost Souls vs. Only a Matter of Time

The round of the flukes

1. Outcry vs. One Last Time (I really love OLT)
2. Burning My Soul vs. Learning to Live (hahahahahah nice)
3. This Dying Soul vs. The Mirror (not a really tough match, although TDS could win some others)
4. You Not Me vs. Prophets of War (SWEET JESUS I HAD TO VOTE FOR POW??? On the flip side, it reminded me of the vid where James sings it with an accent so I chuckled)
5. The Dance of Eternity vs. Honor Thy Father (HTF is the only song I deem weak-ish on ToT, but I just want to launch every attack possible on TDOE

)
6. In the Presence of Enemies vs. Take Away My Pain (easily)
7. Light Fuse and Get Away vs. Beneath the Surface (sorry LFAGA, I just can't see where this is going

)
8. Disappear vs. The Count of Tuscany (hah! how about that!)
9. To Live Forever vs. The Shattered Fortress (I can understand the other B-sides not getting votes, but TLF is a part of two live DVDs and it's pretty iconic in my book... come on guys, TSF is NOT better than this)
10. The Ones Who Help to Set the Sun vs. Build Me Up, Break Me Down (TOWHTSTSTSTSTS is definitely in my bottom 10 DT songs but BMUBMD is in my bottom 2

)
11. Afterlife vs. Innocence Faded (the mirroooor faaaalls behind youuuuuuuu...)
12. The Ministry of Lost Souls vs. Only a Matter of Time (the only thing OAMOT has going is KM's lyrics, and even those mostly on paper. TMOLS is flipping beautiful)

Also:

8. The Count of Tuscany
- 25 (5.8%)

1. Outcry vs. One Last Time - Took me a while to get into Outcry with that crazy instrumental section, but when I finally did I realised it was awesome. One Last Time is great too though.
2. Burning My Soul vs. Learning to Live - This is almost as clear cut as it's possible to get I think!
3. This Dying Soul vs. The Mirror - Really like them both, but TDS just has that little more

about it that I really like
4. You Not Me vs. Prophets of War - Both pretty weak songs, but at least there are some parts of PoW that are enjoyable.
5. The Dance of Eternity vs. Honor Thy Father - Wasn't sure about this one, could have gone the other way on another day
6. In the Presence of Enemies vs. Take Away My Pain - ItPoE is a top 10 song, always loved it. Easy choice here
7. Light Fuse and Get Away vs. Beneath the Surface - BtS is lovely and Light Fuse is one of the weaker tracks from the debut I think
8. Disappear vs. The Count of Tuscany - Easily The Count. Another top 10 song, the lyrics have never bothered me. Disappear is lovely and emotional, but not one of my favourites.
9. To Live Forever vs. The Shattered Fortress - I wasn't really impressed with TSF at first, but eventually came round to seeing it for what it is and enjoying it. TLF is better though.
10. The Ones Who Help to Set the Sun vs. Build Me Up, Break Me Down - Another one of WDADU's weaker tracks, BMUBMD is one of the weaker ones on ADTOE as well, but it has a bit more going for it I think
11. Afterlife vs. Innocence Faded - Another tough one, Afterlife just shades it
12. The Ministry of Lost Souls vs. Only a Matter of Time - One of their most underrated tracks, was always surprised by the hate TMoLS gets. I've always loved it, especially the instrumental section! 2nd favourite track on Systematic Chaos behind ItPoE
