EDITED, I don't konw how could I possibly forget that.

That's quite difficult for me, being one of my favorite songs as a whole, but...
1. Solitary Shell
2. About to Crash
3. Losing Time/Grand Finale
4. The Test that Stumped them All
5. Overture
6. Goodnight Kiss
7. War Inside My Head
8. About to Crash (Reprise)

I must note that I don't think About to Crash (Reprise) is a bad part of the song, it's just that the other parts are better for me.

Also, this:

2) Goodnight Kiss
3) About To Crash (Reprise)
4) About To Crash
5) Losing Time/Grand Finale
6) Overture
7) War Inside My Head
8) The Test That Stumped Them All

Agreed with the above posters, I don't know if I even agree with this ranking.  That's about as close as I can get though, I think.

This. In my top half. It would be higher if it wasnt for all of the other awesome degrees.

Overture starts to drag at the 4:00 minutes or so mark and seems so long. it would have been better if it was shorter.

Agreed.  I love the main melody, and it hit me hard the first time I heard it back in '02, but it does go on a bit too long. 

Anyway...

1. "Goodnight Kiss"
2. "Solitary Shell"
3. "About to Crash"
4. "About to Crash reprise"
5. "Losing Time/Grand Finale" (despite that long note at the end :p)
6. "The Test That Stumped Them All"
7. "War Inside My Head"
8. "Overture"

1.  War Inside My Head - It's both heavy and frantic.  I just love it.  I only wish it were a bit longer.  But maybe the fact that it isn't is a good thing because it leaves me wanting more.
2.  Losing Time/Grand Finale - Gives me chills and is such a marvelous twist on the concept presented by this song.
3.  About To Crash (Reprise) - Movement #2 is already terrific.  This takes all the best elements and builds on them while also setting up the finale quite well.
4.  The Test That Stumped Them All - The heaviest movement of the entire piece.  James does some neat voice work here.
5.  About To Crash - Really sets up the "troubled" mood of the piece very well and has both nice vocal and instrumental work.
6.  Solitary Shell - DT does Green Day a lot better than Green Day does Green Day.
7.  Overture - Very nice, but alas, just an overture.  Despite it being a good piece of music, I just can't rank an overture above the greatness of some of the other movements.
8.  Goodnight Kiss - Not bad, but definitely the lull in the song.  The guitar soloing and related insanity at the end really take it up a notch.
