This is my favorite DT album and I want to know how you guys rank the songs on it. I'll be splitting up Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (the song) for this ranking becaus otherwise we'd just have a list of 6 songs. So...here we go.
13. Disappear- The only song that I don't like on this album. Not that it's bad, but I never got anything out of it. It just sounds like ambience to me with depresing vocals. I appreciate it for its emotion, but it just doesn't have enough in it to really pull me in.
12. War Inside My Head- It's only a 2 minute song, and it ends prematurely. If this song was a minute or two longer and had a solo or something it might be better. But as it stands, it's only a half baked idea. Though it is pretty cool how they reuse the riff in this soung throughout SDOIT (the song).
11. Losing Time/Grand Finale- The Losing Time segment is pretty cool, and of course the Grand Finale is cool, but other than just being "cool" and being a very satisfying ending to this huge epic, it doesn't really do a whole lot.
10. Overture- I really like the instrumental stuff in this song. The riffs, the changing tempos, it all sounds so great. But of course, it is just a mere taste of what's to come. It's awesome for what it is, but compared to everything else on this album, it gets 10th place.
9. Goodnight Kiss- I really like Labrie's singing in this song. I was thinking about putting this below Overture because to be honest, it does get kind of boring, but Labrie's vocals are just fantastic here and the solo is sounds so nice.
8. Misunderstood- Ok, now we're at the really great stuff. This song is great...it's a slow burn and when it finally builds up to the main chorus it explodes and sounds just awesome. My only complaint is the ending which is just...weird. But otherwise, this is a great song. Would it make my top 50? Maybe. I'd like to think yes.
7. About to Crash (Reprise)- A great bookend to what has been building up this entire epic. While it's not as good as the first "About to Crash", it's a very satisfying reprise. I love the riff that kicks it off, I love the vocals and just everything about it is so satisfying, especially when you listen to it all in one go.
6. Solitary Shell- I love this segment. It's funny because it sounds so basic and commercial, which is the kind of music that I am not into at all. But the way DT does it just sounds so great. This song is so damn catchy, it's impossible not to sing along to it. The solo is great too.
5. The Great Debate- The first 3 minutes is kind of boring. But when it kicks off...holy shit does it kick off. Those 4 minutes or so after the intro is one of my favorite parts to ANY DT song. If this song was shortened a little bit it would be amazing. As it stands it's still great, and it would definitely make my top 50, but there's a lot of padding in this song that doesn't need to be there I think.
4. About to Crash- I love everything aout this song. The piano intro, the verse riff, the chorus, the vocals...everything. If this was its own song it would probably make my top 30.
3. Blind Faith- Amazing song right here. Everything about this song is pretty much perfect. The vibe of the song, the drums, the guitar, the vocals, I just love this song so much. This song might even make my top 20. I'm not sure though.
2. The Glass Prison- Come on...this song is just amazing. You can't hate on The Glass Prison. This is a top 20 DT song for sure. Maybe even top 10, I'm not sure. Either way, this song is amazing. Everything about it is what DT does best.
1. The Test That Stumped Them All- If this was its own song, it would probabaly be top 10 for me. I love thrash metal, and this is the closest DT has ever gotten. It sounds like early Metallica, but with more talent (no offense to Metallica, they're great, but they've got nothing on DT). Yeah this song is just absolutely amazing. The riffs, the solos, the vocals, everything. I love this song.
