I think the same about TCoT (the intro being the best thing about it) but still would prefer SDOIT anyway.

I would still take BF over ANTR, TSF and TCOT combined.

well now I'm curious, every song vs. every song go
TGP, Misunderstood, and Disappear are all 6 points each for 6DOIT, not bothering there

Blind Faith vs. BC&SL
ANTR, TBOT, TCOT all win (3-3)

The Great Debate vs. BC&SL
TBOT, TCOT win (4-2)

6DOIT vs. BC&SL
ANTR, TSF, TBOT, TCOT win (2-4)

final score is 27-9

so yeah it's still a pretty landslide victory for 6DOIT that way  :lol

...
Wither

Same here.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I hesitate to put TSF where it is at because it has grown on me since I got to hear it on Breaking the Fourth Wall so it might go up a spot but otherwise that list is pretty set in stone.

When I compare Awake to FII track by track, Awake wins 6 to 5.

But if I compare Awake's tracks to FII's tracks in reverse order, FII wins 7 to 4.

Even wrong opinions are welcome here.

Is your beef with Blind Faith only the lyrics, or do you have a problem with the music too?

I think if I can get past the lyrics to Theocracy's Mirror of Souls album, and even sing along to them, you can like Blind Faith.


Now like it!

Thanks. I quite enjoy this song, but the silly moments bring it down so much.

Personally, I would take BC&SL over 6DoIT, but that's in term of the album as a whole.

I would take Glass Prison as a better song in the Twelve Step suite
I think A Nightmare to Remember is a better album opener than Glass Prison (not by much though)
Misunderstood is a better soft song than Wither (though I do like Wither, play it acoustically live sometimes, alongside Beneath the Surface, Regression/Spirit Carries On and hopefully Hollow Years, Wait for Sleep and Silent Man before too long)
Great Debate over Best of Times (though the latter does tug at the heartstrings)
6DoIT as a better epic than Count of Tuscany, though I'd take the Intro of Tuscany over Overture.

Also, is it just me or the riff in Misunderstood at 4:07 or so sounds a lot like an early version of the main riff of a Rite of Passage? It's got the same sort of pattern, and I'm pretty sure they're the same notes!

We have completely different opinions on that  :lol   TGP (IMO) blows ANTR out of the water. For one thing, ANTR is about 7 minutes too long. There is a point in that song after Jordan's solo where it's painfully obvious they are just stretching that song out for whatever reason. Had that song been cut by six or seven minutes it'd be that much better. TGP is one of if not the best 'heavy' DT song out there. ANTR (IMO) has one cool part.....the 'hoplessly drifting' section.

I like it except for the fact that the soft part during the 12/8 (I believe that's the time signature there) is one of my favorite parts. But it does work very well despite the fact that I do actually like the whole song.
