Both amazing songs, even though TCOT is my least favorite from this album. So...TCOT.

Though they both have amazing outro's. Nice top 2. Still happy for the two songs.

ANTR's time has come.

TCOT is a top 3 DT song.

If ANTR were edited a little (shortened the instrumental section, the original plan for Mike's section executed with some real growls), it would be the best thing on this album by a mile, probably.

As is, The Count holds that honour. It's got some issues ("My brutha"), but long parts of it are excellent.

ANTR easily. Count is a damn good song if you ignore the lyrics.

TCOT is a top 3 10 DT song.

The Count for the win!!! ok, lyrics could have been better, but musically is great, and when at the end there's the slow part and James sing "I just don't understand... just don't understand" and then Jordan comes in immediately after, from that point until the end it's pure DT magic happening. Damn I want to see this live.

Hey, at least your song is going out this round. I've been voting for Count since round one knowing it will win.

No surprises here.

Fair enough, I'll stop complaining

Felt like relistening to this album after this survivor. Man, A Nightmare to Remember is so silly, I should have put it beneath A Rite of Passage in the rankings. I mean, ARoP is pretty silly too, and a bit nonsensical, but ANtR is on another level.

This whole album is silly.

Rankings:

1. Wither
2. The Shattered Fortress
3. The Count of Tuscany
4. A Nightmare to Remember
5. The Best of Times
6. A Rite of Passage

3 years ago I made a top 20 least favourite DT songs. Five songs from this album ended up in there.

Would it be fair to assume that most of the people that dislike this album are mostly offended by the lyrical content? I also consider it their weakest album lyrically, although musically it's still pretty darn good.

jakepriest · « **Reply #32 on:** February 15, 2017, 08:11:24 AM »

I'm glad I don't give two shits about lyrical quality. Lets me enjoy more music.
