The best section on Awake

[Prog Snob]

Too many awesome sections in Awake to narrow it down to one, but since a lot of the Scarred ones have been mentioned already, I want to give a shout-out to this awesome section from Voices:

I'm lying here in bed
Swear my skin is inside out
Just another Sunday morning

Seen my diary on the newsstand
Seems we've lost the truth to quicksand
It's a shame no one is praying
'Cause these voices in my head
keep saying...

'Love, just don't stare.'
'Reveal the Word when you're
supposed to'
Withdrawn and introverted
Infectiously perverted
'Being laughed at and confused
keeps us pleasantly amused
enough to stay.'

 

The lyrics on Voices are one of JP's best.

Also 100% correct.  Yet another unassailable fact.

My top 5:

5) Innocence Faded - outro (4:18 onwards) especially the arpeggios

4) Erotomania - guitar solo (5:08) sweet quintuplets!

3) Space-Dye Vest - verses (1:43 & 2:39) "Love is an act of blood and I'm bleeding/a pool in the shape of a heart" and when JP enters in the second verse with droning power chords on the bridge pickup

2) Scarred - Do you feel? section (5:12)

1) The Mirror - outro (5:31)  JM's best bass groove into a headbanging conclusion

on one hand, those are all AMAZING sections, on the other hand, three of those songs (at least) have better parts.
I love this album.

Yup, there's no shortage of amazing moments on this album.
