Images And Words

Surrounded
Metropolis Part 1: The Miracle And The Sleeper
Under A Glass Moon
Wait For Sleep
Learning To Live

The band's first album with James LaBrie proved to be a critical hit, with an MTV single, a couple music videos, and later down the round, become one of the band's most popular albums. Their sound was definitely refined and the production had improved, and their musical muscles had definitely been flexed on this one. On this album full of fan-favorites, which 3 will come out on top?!

-Marc.

I hate voting for the shortest least proggy song first, but it's what I'm doing.

Incredibly tough to choose one, even in the first round. In the end, I went for Under a Glass Moon, but let it be known that I don't hate it at all.

Good luck in running the Survivor, Marc.  :tup

Under a Glass Moon just because I have to vote for something.
I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

In an album full of impossible choices, people may have gotten moved by poor, simple, short Wait for Sleep and switched the vote for something else  ;D or they just like this unique and diverse piece of music enough to spare it from an immediate vote.

Surrounded.

But really, 8 perfect songs here.  Seems unfair to chose.
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.

The mood and atmosphere in Wait For Sleep is just amazing, and such a brilliant segue to LTL.

Surrounded although I love every song on this album.

Exactly. For an album like this, we should just stick all 8 songs into the Finals. It is perfect. There is absolutely no bad song on here whatsoever. But we have to choose something, or else the survivor will just run into stalemate.

If I recall correctly, Learning to Live is the defending DT Survivor champion, from 2012, before we went to the League format for a couple of years.

This. After my short "wow much technical so shredding many notes" phase, I learned to appreciate the slow stuff.
