DT Song Wars - November 2021 Edition! - Volume 2

[KevShmev]

Another fun one!

I'd probably go with 1, but I could take almost any of the others.   Each grouping has a song I am fairly ambivalent about (at best).

[Cool Chris]

I guess 2, on the strength of Under a Glass Moon, Misunderstood, Endless Sacrifice, and not having any songs I'd consider a regular skip.

[Ben_Jamin]

This one was easier for me because I highly enjoy all the songs in the first group, yes even Honor Thy Father.

[geeeemo]

Number 4. No skips. Big songs.

[bosk1]

Wow, this one was harder.  I went with #5. 

Kev, I also modified your poll.  You accidentally set it up so people could vote for as many as they wanted instead of picking one.  I'm assuming that was a mistake, since that isn't how you normally do it.

Really close for me, I had to rate each song to chose...and gave Octavarium a + just for Razor's Edge to have a winner!

A Change of Seasons (10), Surrounded (9), Blind Faith (6), Honor Thy Father (4), On the Backs of Angels (7) = 36

A View from the Top of the World (4), Under a Glass Moon (7), Misunderstood (7), Endless Sacrifice (5), Forsaken (6) = 29

Octavarium (9+), Take the Time (10), Disappear (8), This Dying Soul (6), Untethered Angel (6)= 39+

The Count of Tuscany (8), Metropolis (10), The Great Debate (6), In the Name of God (8), Invisible Monster (7) = 39

Illumination Theory (8), Learning to Live (10), The Glass Prison (4), Stream of Consciousness (6), Constant Motion (3)= 31

Ah yes, good call. My bad on that one. Thanks! 

[Lonk]

based on my top 3 favorites from each group, option 1.

[krands85]

This one is much harder for me. When I got to the third group I thought "Yeah it's probably gonna be this one". Then I read the fourth and said "oof", then an ever bigger "oof" when I saw the fifth!

I can easily discount the first two groups, even though they are still good. I'll have to go with group 4, as it has three of my top 10 DT tracks. It sounds easy putting it like that, but 3 and 5 have two of my top 7 each and I prefer the 'weaker' tracks in those groups to those in group 4.

[Revenge319]

I would totally have picked Group 1, but then I saw Honor Thy Father...

I ended up going with Group 5.

[hefdaddy42]

I guess # 5.

This one was harder, Kev.

[lovethedrake]

Great job with the groupings as this was tough!

I went with the count of Tuscany, metropolis grouping because it has a top 5 song for me in metropolis and doesn't have a single song I don't like.

The change of seasons, surrounded group was in the running but I don't like on the backs of angels and then learning to live and glass prison are amazing but I don't really care for stream of consciousness and I dislike constant motion.

Nice poll!

[bosk1]

This one was harder, Kev.

It was for me as well.  I saw ACOS in group 1 and was ready to pull the trigger.  ...but then I saw what was grouped with it, and slowed my roll.  And as I kept reading through the groupings, each one of them had songs that, collectively, outdid group 1.

[Dublagent66]

Not hard at all.  Option 1 easily. 

[SeRoX]

Option 5 has Learning To Live, so it's 5. EASY!

[Kram]

Tough one again but went with number 1.

[KevShmev]

This one was harder, Kev.

[hefdaddy42]

I served it over the plate, and you knocked it out of the park.

[Dublagent66]

[Elite]

So, the formula is:
epic
song from I&W
song from disc 1 of SDOIT
song from TOT
random singles

It's crazy how this somehow makes every option a mixed bag. There's stuff I love, but also stuff I dislike in each one. I'm tempted to go with either 1 or 3.
