Well, with just over a third of the total votes, the only instrumental in the Finals has been eliminated. Disregarding the consolation songs, only 5 albums have both of their top 2 songs still in the running - IAW, Awake, SFAM, 8VM and ADTOE, all of which are fairly popular and well-liked albums by many fans, so it's no surprise to see their top 2 songs still hanging in there. By the remaining votes, it looks like TCOT may finally venture out of the running, unless the 13 SOC votes somehow find their way to one or two of the same songs.

Was debating Trial of Tears or In The Presence of Enemies... went with ItPoE to help save the Count.

Quick question for curiosity's sake... is Six Degrees (the song) on anyone's top 20 DT songs list?

On my current rankings which I did last year it's #13. I think it'd be about the same if I did them again now.

Yes, it's one of my favourites from DT actually

Mine, too.

[ToT-147]

Trial of Tears

At first I thought, since it was actually receiving near the votes the songs voted out of each round were receiving, that it wouldn't last too long, but it seems that it's always the same four of us voting for ToT..

And no.. I don't like that much SDoIT the song..

[Elite]

Quick question for curiosity's sake... is Six Degrees (the song) on anyone's top 20 DT songs list?

Definitely not. But I'm one of those assholes that went after the title track first on the album survivor. I still stand by that decision, it's my least favourite from the album. Disc 1 >>>>> Disc 2

Trial of Tears

Yup, I haven't missed a single round but haven't been posting in the thread. I'm one of those who has been voting Trial of Tears for like 10 rounds now, it's starting to get really boring

As for SDOIT, I'm not sure where I'd rank it but definitely not in the top 20. Probably somewhere around #50 not counting TA (can't really rank those songs yet as I haven't heard the album enough times)

I agree with everything here. Six Degrees isn't bad, but it has some of the most boring parts in a DT song (mainly Overture and Losing Time). I'm also not really a big fan of the transitions between the parts for the most part, so while I like most of the parts individually, the whole song as a whole is less than the sum of its parts for me.

I feel the same way about it

[Crow]

also same

It's in my top 10.

[jakepriest]

Losing Time is the best part of SDOIT imo. What drags it down a lot is Overture and the combo of War Inside My Head and the other "song" that I can't remember by name that follows it.
