I'm very much looking forward to every song quite a lot. If I had to pick, however, I must go with Far From Heaven. Not so heavily hyped, but from what I've heard (in interviews and such) it is a piano led ballad with great emotional performance by LaBrie, which makes me think it might be one of those short, but endlessly beautiful songs.
After that I'd probably go with:

2. Outcry
3. Breaking All Illusions
4. Beneath the Surface
5. Lost Not Forgotten
6. This is the Life
7. Bridges in the Sky
8. Build Me Up, Break Me Down
(9. On the Backs of Angels)

I'm really looking forward to listen to "Outcry", since Mangini said that it was the most complex song of the album for him to play, IIRC.

"Bridges in the Sky" and "Breaking All Illusions" are close second.

This is assuming of course that they are in the same order that he recorded them in.

Well, here's a quote from that interview:

"DRUM!: Any new songs that were especially difficult?

Mangini: The one where I put the most amount of psychotic, two-things-at-the-same-time type of drumming would be track six [still unnamed as of press time]. While multi time signature shifts were going on, I was playing in a time signature that was completely different from those with one limb on one side of my body. And I was really hitting the drums. I'm very proud of it, but they liked it musically. I wouldn't do it just to throw it in. I didn't do it for that reason. I did it because I had a mathematical joy out of it. Oh, my gosh, it would be amazing to play in 7/16 here, but yet it's changing time signatures 18 times or something."

Based on the snippet, Bridges In The Sky. Sounds like a dark and dramatic heavy song, and I love those.

Although I feel On The Backs of Angels has the potential to reach very high in my personal DT top list. However I've intentionally listened to it only three times or so, since I don't want to know the song by heart by the time I have the album.

I know, I remember. And while you could be right, there's no reason to assume they didn't change the final track listing after that. He may have recorded in a different order than we're hearing them in.

Outcry
Then the rest of the album that by fact it will kick some serious ass.

Breaking All Illusions

-It will most likely be the "epic" of the album
-A return of Myung 'must' mean we are in store for something special
