The last four parts. 

Test... is mostly great, too, but I docked it for the keyboard solo, which I dislike.

Why don't you ask me to choose my favourite child while I'm at it? :lol

I went with Overture, ATC, SS, and Losing Time, although that last choice was a very close call with ATC Reprise. The whole song is pretty much perfect, but these parts are a little bit more perfect. :biggrin:

ATC and SS in particular still sound as amazing as ever, and are a pure joy to listen to every single time.

About to Crash, Solitary Shell, About to Crash (Reprise) and Losing Time/Grand Finale. Probably rated like this:

1. About to Crash (Reprise)
2. Losing Time/Grand Finale
3. About to Crash
4. Solitary Shell
----------------
5. Goodnight Kiss
6. Overture
7. The Test That Stumped Them All
8. War Inside My Head

Though I'm probably becoming pretty known for not having a favorable view of this album compared to the rest of the DT albums, it's not the fault of the title song. This isn't my favorite DT song, but it's a very good experimental long-form epic. I'd definitely rate it in the top 20 DT songs.

About to Crash (Reprise) is one of my fav musical sections ever. And the rest of the song is pretty glorious as well.

About to Crash (Reprise)
About to Crash
Solitary Shell
The Test That Stumped Them All

War Inside My Head
Overture
Losing Time/Grand Finale
Goodnight Kiss

But it feels wrong to put anything at the bottom.   It's ALL amazing.  Although, I definitely have a hard line between the top 4 and the bottom 4.

This is a great thread for me, since I have a hard time enjoying 6DOIT as a whole, I like seeing the "best parts".

Mine are:
WIMH
TTTSTA
Goodnight Kiss
Solitary Shell

Probably in that order. I also love Test. But Goodnight kiss and Solitary shell are both very good as well. The only part I'm not that crazy about is Overture, although it's pretty rad on Score.

I went with Overture because it's the only part I'll listen to by itself. I also love Goodnight Kiss but if I don't have time to listen to the whole song I won't listen to any of it except for Overture.

I love the song as a whole, but my favorite parts are:

Solitary Shell
About to Crash
TTTSTA
War Inside My Head

The least favorite would probably be Overture.

Six Degrees is among my favorite of DT's epics, along with SFAM.  In order, my favorite parts are:

1. Grand Finale/Losing Time
2. Overture
3. War Inside My Head
4. Solitary Shell

5. About to Crash
6. Goodnight Kiss
7. The Test That Stumped Them All
8. About to Crash (Reprise)

I actually like About to Crash and Goodnight Kiss.  There is nothing inherently wrong with TTTSTA and the ATC (Reprise), it's just that I usually skip them when I'm listening to the album in order to get to the better tracks.

I can't put any of these 4 above one another:

1. About To Crash
1. Goodnight Kiss
1. Solitary Shell
1. About To Crash (Reprise)
----------------------------
But these would be ranked in this order:

5. The Test That Stumped Them All
6. Losing Time/Finale
7. Overture
8. War Inside My Head

Overture - Introduces the great themes.

Goodnight Kiss - Mainly for the reprise of the main theme.

Solitary Shell - I'm autistic myself, so this section 'speaks' to me (pardon the cheesiness here).

Losing Time/Grand Finale - An epic conclusion to the song, with a brilliant vocal rendition of the main theme.

Sections 2-5. Nothing from SS on really grabs me, so I usually end up treating SDOIT as basically consisting of those four parts, with the GK solo as the climax. Ranked, I'd go in reverse order: GK, TTTSTA, WIMH, ATC.

Yeah, I have no idea what the cakeless person in that analogy is meant to be eating. If he's got some sort of cake substitute, it should really have been worked into the narrative at some point. As it stands, the options are:

  • Hoard a cake just to stare blankly into its doughy edifice.
  • Make futile chewing motions with your mouth while starving to death.

3. About to Crash
4. The Test That Stumped Them All

5. Goodnight Kiss
6. Losing Time/Grand Finale
7. Overture
8. War Inside My Head

It's ALL amazing, though.  So much heart, passion and emotion in this entire song.  I love every second of it.  WIMH is probably the "weakest" just because it feels a bit out of place musically from the rest, and it's only a 2 minute segment anyway.  I always disliked the transitions from ATC to WIMH and from WIMY to TTTSTA.

On a slightly different note, if I want to listen to a shorter version, Overture, About to Crash, About to Crash Reprise and Losing Tiime/Grand Finale work amazing as one song (though obviously not as well).
