I am appalled that there aren't enough people putting ANTR as their least favorite BC&SL song.  TBOT and TSF are awesome!


The King in Crimson

I enjoy parts of ANTR. TSF, OTOH, is just a mess of a song.

WDADU: The Ones Who Help to Set the Sun
IaW: Tough Choice. Maaaaybe Pull Me Under even though it kicks ass.
Awake: Even Harder. Not sure.
FII: You Not Me/Just let Me Breathe
SFAM: Regression
SDoIT: The Great Debate (And I love it)
ToT: As I Am
Octavarium: Maybe TALW and I still like it.
SC: TDEN
BC&SL: A Rite of Passage

The Silent Cody

Why do you people don't like TDEN? Or why you choosing it as the worst, even if you still thinking that is a kick ass song ;) I'm just curious, it's a good song, it has all the shredding, all the madness, metrum changes, maybe JP's solo is weird a little, but it's good enough.

Xanthul

Personally I dislike the lyrics, the vocal melodies and it's just uninteresting. It has a couple of nice riffs but it's not enough to make me ever want to listen to it.

I&W - Wait For Sleep - I don't what it is but this song never goes anywhere and thus feels a bit boring.
Awake - Space Dye Vest - Hands down, the most OVERRATED DT song ever. It's not really bad but almost everyone seems to be praising this to death and I just can't understand it. It's not THAT good. It's actually quite boring.
FII -You Not Me - No comment, I think everyone understands.
SFAM - Through Her Eyes - Not a bad song at all, it's actually quite good but being on SFAM and everything, it has alot to compete against.
SDOIT - Disappear - Again, a tough choice as I really like Six Degrees but If I had to single out a track, it had t be this one.
TOT - Stream Of Consciousness - One of my absolute least favorite DT songs. A 10-minute instrumental that goes absolutely nowhere and is not interesting in any way.
8V - These Walls - Just an incredibly bland track.
SC - Forsaken - Has a bit of the "These Walls" syndrome to it, a bland track that I can't put my finger on, it's just there and does nothing.
BCSL - A Rite Of Passage - I like the chorus but the verses and the following instrumental section are really dull and feels very stock.


The Silent Cody

Lol, your last words was heavy :) I smell the difference of the tastes around here. I like the groovy metal side of DT, so I obviously liked TDEN since I heard it.

Hmm. Ok, let's see.

I&W - Take The Time - I'm so sorry, I know people will be like "WHAAT?", but yeah, I don't find myself ever putting this song on unless it comes on by itself.
Awake - Can't quite bring myself to say anything negative about any song on this album, as I consider it a masterpiece. Will have to go with The Silent Man, but by a very very small margin. I could've lived without this song, tbh, because it breaks the relentless metalness of the album.
FII - Again, really hard to choose as I like all the songs. Going to have to go with New Millennium, again by a small margin.
SFAM - Through My Words. It's good, but it's a transition song, so it can't really compete against the others.
SDOIT - Goodnight Kiss. Don't like it very much at all, it meanders along forever and is just not very exciting.
TOT - Again, solid album with good songs. I'm going to have to go with Endless Sacrifice. I like it, but it's the odd one out on this heavy rocking album.
8V - I Walk Beside You. Blech. Octavarium is where the albums all start having songs I genuinely dislike. I don't like These Walls and The Answer Lies Within that much either.
SC - Quite like this album. Going to have to go with Forsaken, it's a bit bland.
BCSL - This is a pretty meh album to me. Going to have to go with The Best of Times. I understand the context and concept, but... I've never listened to it again since the album came out. Too much repetition, and suffers from Roger Waters/The Final Cut Syndrome. I don't like lyrics that are incredibly direct and narrative, a bit of subtlety or metaphor/symbolism would've improved it. But bland lyrics combined with bland repetitive music makes this song one of my all time least favorite DT tracks. But I understand what it's for, so I guess it warrants it. Petrucci wrote Another Day about the death/illness of a loved one, and it was so much better lyrically, and so much more moving. A Change of Seasons tackles a similar subject, and was written by MP, but once again the lyrics are awesome and subtle. Don't know what happened along the way. This song describes kind of what I hate about post 8V DT.

Sorry about Take The Time guys.  :blush

WDADU: Only A Matter of Time
I & W: Surrounded (only cause I love the sexy sax on Another Day)
Awake: The Silent Man
ACOS: The Rover -Achilles Last Stand - The Song Remains the Same
FII: oh god. maybe You Not Me, or Take Away My Pain.  There are a couple horrible songs on there.
SFAM: Through My Words (only because it's so short)
6DOIT: Misunderstood
TOT: Endless Sacrifice (that was a tough one to decide, actually)
8V: The Answer Lies Within
SC: Constant Motion
BC&SL: The Shattered Fortress

Yes....Those are my least favorites on a per album basis. I don't hate the songs. It probly has more to do with the fact that I've been listening to them for so long. Favorites come and go for me.

For example, I absolutely loathed "The Count of Tuscany" when I first heard it. Now I give it an 8 out of 10  :o

RG93

In order:

Only A Matter of Time (subject to change)
Surrounded (still awesome)
The Mirror
You Not Me (worst DT song)
Beyond This Life
The Great Debate (very good, but the other tracks are better)
This Dying Soul
Never Enough hate for this song
Forsaken
The Shattered Fortress
