Now... where is Panic Attacker?

I don't see him in the members list any more.

[Onno]

Can you put me on the list too, please?

[hefdaddy42]

Can you put me on the list too, please?

Done.

MasterShakezula, you're up. 

[Onno]

Thanks

[Scorpion]

C'mon cup.

[Sycsa]

C'mon cup.

The last guy took so long, he probably forgot all about it.

[duncan3dc]

I'm going away for few weeks, can I get bumped down the list please? Sticking me on the bottom is fine, thanks

[Scorpion]

Dude, if you're not leaving for two months, then that's probably not an issue.

Done.

I dunno, I PM'd the Master.  I'll do it again.

[SomeoneLikeHim]

Can you sign me up for this?

[hefdaddy42]

Done.

[hefdaddy42]

C'mon cup.

Soon.

[Unlegit]

Could I be signed up as well?

Hello, I'm here, let's get this show on the road, shall we? 

(One disclaimer, there will not be many from ADTOE on here.  I really enjoy the album, but aren't really sure on where most of stands for right now.)

50. I Walk Beside You -  It's not definitive DT at all and may not be a true outstanding track on 8, but I really enjoy it, nonetheless.  Though the band really is oriented towards the long runners, they can and have written excellent shorter songs, this included.  I actually really like it's u2/Coldplay like sound, same goes for the chorus.  Very catchy, overall.

49. Prophets of War-  Another less-heralded song.  I'd say it's one of the better songs of the SC album and a refresher from some of the less appealing heavy stuff.  I don't even mind the rap section; this is just plain groovy. 

48. Wither-  This is one of the couple songs from the Black album I really play on a regular basis.  Quite amazing, DT doing a modern-radio rock type song, but it turning very well.  Another real catchy one; the bridge is a real find moment, especially.

One way to do this is to write the write-ups while listening to the song

Anyway, nice start, though I don't agree on your first two choices. Wither then is an underappreciated gem and the best BC&SL has to offer.

[Ben_Jamin]

Good choices.

Thumbs up for PoW and Wither.

[BlobVanDam]

Off to an interesting start, cup. None are top 50 for me, but I don't think PoW or IWBY are as bad as people say, so that's fine by me.

Didn't you mean worst? That would be accurate

[hefdaddy42]

Could I be signed up as well?

[Lolzeez]

Nice to see some love for wither. And no. It is the second best from BC&SL

[Onno]

Nice start

Nice to see some love for wither. And no. It is the third best from BC&SL

FTFM

[iamtheeviltwin]

All good choices ranked lower than I would, but all top 50 for sure.

[MasterShakezula]

Longer updates today and tomorrow to make up for missed days. 

47.  Strange Deja Vu-  This one's one of the better ones off of an album I don't care much for.  It's a real groovy and upbeat track with some real cool, almost blues-y riffs.  What helps this one is that it lacks a lot of the sort of cheesiness that turns me off of other songs on the album.  Even the really dramatic, story-like parts of this one don't take away from the overall vibe.  Cool tune.

46.  Take Away My Pain- Real underrated track off of FII.  I say the tropical percussion and feel of the final version gives it a real cool vibe.  It also has some of my favorite lyrics of any of these songs (always enjoy most of the personal-type ones).  The bridge, as well, is another strong point.  Shame a good chunk of the original lyrics were cut out, though. 

45.  A Rite Of Passage- The vibe at the beginning with the f/x on the guitar is great.  I'd of rather it kept more of that sort of vibe throughout the song, but it still ends up being groovy.  The sped up bridge section w/ the solos has a real nice riff behind it.  It's maybe too long for its own good, but nothing else real negative to say about it. 

44.  Burning My Soul-  Another un-acclaimed song from FII.  I really don't see the reason behind the bashing this one gets.  IMO, it's a real fun, rocking tune.  The bridge with the key solo is a high point in it, as is the following vocal section leading into the final chorus.  Not a super progressive or MASSIVE song, but I can't really complain about that, since that direction's not the one it's supposed to go in.

43.  The Answer Lies Within- Uplifting ballad number.  It makes for a good cooldown after the manic opener.  I wouldn't say it's their best ballad, but it's memorable.  The strings definitely give it some extra power.

42.  Lifting Shadows Off A Dream- My least favorite on Awake is still a real nice, sort of U2-sounding tune.  The percussion line on the chorus is a real nice touch and the buildup to the final chorus makes the song for me.  I dunno if it had to be as long as it is, but it doesn't really drag or anything. 

[senecadawg2]

Strange Deja Vu and Lifting Shadows could both be a bit higher IMO. The rest are kind of meh.

[splent]

Shakezula if you are doing lists FINISH YOUR BLENDER LIST DAMMIT

I wanna be on this list.  By the time you get to me I'll have my hard drive back and be much more familiar with ADTOE than I am right now

[SystematicThought]

TALW is a great song as is LSOAD.

The latter is a bit higher on my list, but I do like the other choices as well

[IdoSC]

Going by the fact that Lifting Shadows is your least favorite from Awake, and it still made the list, I suppose we're expecting the other 10 songs from that album too?

[BlobVanDam]

An .......... interesting list.

[Onno]

Wow, that's a cool bunch of songs. Interesting choices 

[Lolzeez]

Now this looks interesting...

[MasterShakezula]

Going by the fact that Lifting Shadows is your least favorite from Awake, and it still made the list, I suppose we're expecting the other 10 songs from that album too?

No.  I meant to say it's my least least favorite off of that placid coaster of an album. 

[hefdaddy42]

You included 2 in your list that wouldn't be anywhere near MY Top 50 (AROP and TALW).

[Nekov]

This plus burning my soul. The other 3 are beautiful songs

I was so blinded by the other 2 that I didn't even notice that one.

Make it 3.
