Never seen any thread for this, and it is the best song ever.

Vote and discuss.

2. VII. The Crimson Sunset
3. IV. The Darkest Of Winters
4. II. Innocence

Speaking of Change of Seasons, this would be a good time for me to pose this question that I've had for years: 

Am I the only one who thinks that the little kid on the cover of ACOS looks like BEN SAVAGE?  I mean, look at this:

Then:

C'MON!

I went with Another World. Sadly, one of the only few parts of ACOS that really stands out to me.

That part, though... is one of DT's best moments ever. So I guess it balances out.

my favorite section is the one that has that mac truck horn sound at the beginning of that awesome riff towards the end of the song.

The Inevitable Summer. My favourite too. Sadly it's usually the least high regarded. :sadpanda:

Preparing for her flight
I held with all my might
Fearing my deepest fright
She walked into the night
She turned for one last look
She looked me in the eye
I said, "I Love You...
Good-bye"

....


Please don't go! :metal

This doesn't deserve a new thread so I'll just post it here. This is the greatest JLB impersonation you'll ever see:

At first I thought it was the album vocals.

Inevitable Summer.

Speaking of ACOS, with the looming arrival of SFAM on vinyl, I think it would be awesome to get ACOS on vinyl, however, the question is, would it even fit on one side? I'd hate to have to flip the vinyl over halfway through ACOS.

Another World.

The LSFNY version is one of the best few minutes of music I've ever heard.

The Inevitable Summer is my favorite section, by far. Another World and Carpe Diem are also very good.

I've never really cared for the rest of A Change Of Seasons, unfortunately. My least favorite of Dream Theater's longer songs.

the song would (though it'd sound worse than if it were split). the real problem is what to do with the 40 minutes of live stuff that fills out the CD.

Seriously though.... there's not a bad part in the piece.  Favorite sections have fluctuated over the years.  Crimson Sunset just present's such an awesome visual for me.
