people on this board are actual music fans who developed taste in music and not casual listeners who are following current fashion trends and listening to only current commercial hits.

The only ones that are kind of set in my rankings are:

1. Illumination Theory
2. The Bigger Picture

8. Along for the Ride
9. False Awakening

The other five songs don't really have a set order in my ranking. They're just there, in the middle, in whatever order I feel like putting them in on any given day.

Yeah, actually the same goes for me, only then with 3-8.

Based on the lists of this thread, this is the general consensus:
1. Illumination Theory (avg: 2.471)
2. The Bigger Picture (avg: 4.059)
3. The Enemy Inside (avg: 4.118)
4. Behind The Veil (avg: 4.824)
5. Surrender To Reason (avg: 5.000)
6. The Looking Glass (avg: 6.059)
8. False Awakening Suite / Enigma Machine (avg: 6.647)
9. Along For The Ride (avg: 6.882)

Rounded to 3dp, ties counted as lowest ranking. I'll probably be updating this as more lists get posted on this thread too..

The ending is the part I like because it means I don't have to listen to the annoying vocal lines anymore. :neverusethis:
