6:00

[Tumdace]

I don't hear much about this song in this forums, and I really don't know why. Its a pretty powerful opener, and coming straight off of Learning to Live, I think its a pretty good intro to Awake.

I like that its got quite a bit more keyboard in it than most songs, and some pretty cool little riffs involving the keyboards. I really like when it kicks into high gear at around 3:50. Really powerful vocals from Labrie as well.

Any thoughts?

[FlyingBIZKIT]

It's cool, but my least favorite from Awake.

It's cool, but my least favorite from Awake.

Well, its my 2nd least favourite, only because the rest of the album is so damned good.

I like it better than Innocence Faded.

But its still damned good IMO.

[Jamesman42]

I miss him.

It's a solid little song, but not one of the stronger songs on the album. The obnoxious repetition of samples sort of kills it for me, but aside from that it's catchy enough.

[Cool Chris]

Song: Agree with BVD, though the samples don't kill it for me, despite how annoying they are. Not their best opener, but suffers(?) from being a good song on an otherwise awesome album.

Poster: He was a douchebag.

[Jamesman42]

He was, but he was entertaining as well.

The other day I was reading James Joyce's short story "The Dead" and I was so excited to see the lines from the song's samples that I listened to 6:00 again. It's definitely one of DT's better album openers, and it's one of the best songs on Awake - though I enjoy all of them, so it's hard to choose.

6:00 is one of my all time favorite d.t. tracks.  i've never been bothered by the samples at the beginning of the tune - i'm too busy digging on myung's bass line underneath.  the (wonderfully) notey riff throughout the verses is exquisite, and the crunchy goodness at the chorus is oh so sweet.

The opener on my favorite DT album I'm not annoyed by the samples and Kevin did a good job with the lyrics. JP's short solo in the outro is very good too.

[Pols Voice]

Totally awesome song. It has a great groove, and oozes attitude like much of Awake. Great vocals and cool lyrics, and a very ear-catching drum intro. The sample usage is memorable and well done. I'll tell you a song that gets messed up by too many samples: The Great Debate.

[black_biff_stadler]

6:00 is awesome and I love how many different ways it injects uplifting energy into they fray. You just influenced me into giving Awake its first full spin in well over a year so thank you very much for that Tumdace

[tweeg]

On of my favourite from Awake, but the samples do draw from the greatness of it.

If you search around on Youtube you can find an interview where they do the main 6:00 riff before it was a song. It really grooved back then!

[Phoenix87x]

I think its a great start to a great album, and its very catchy.

[missedthepoint]

Great song, always loved it.  The drum intro is a great moment and sets you up for song and in fact the whole album.
To those who think it's not a great opener i ask you, what would awake have been like if it didn't start with the awesome drums of that awesome song?

I can still remember how this made me feel the first time i heard it.

Nobody knows what they want till they finally let it all go."

This.  I love everything about the song, including the samples. 

[Anonymous]

I love this song. Its a great one to headbang to when the drums kick in.

[KevShmev]

Killer tune.  It speaks volumes about how truly awesome Awake is when a song this good is probably one of the least best songs on it.

Well that was one of my goals . Anything that gets people to listen to more DT is a win win for everybody .

[kirksnosehair]

I'm KirksNoseHair, and I approve this track 

[hefdaddy42]

It's a fantastic song, no doubt.

[namgalsipsclar]

It is a damn cool song

[Super Dude]

I love this song. Tragically underappreciated.

[Jirpo]

It's cool, but my least favorite from Awake.

I agree, its probably DT's most overrated song IMO. It nearly ruins awake for me.

[snapple]

Killer tune.  It speaks volumes about how truly awesome Awake is when a song this good is probably one of the least best songs on it.

[Schleppy]

He was, but he was entertaining as well.

I always thought he had very well thought-out reasons for hating Rudess DT, puppies, and candy.

[Nefyn]

The samples ruin it for me. One or two would be fine but when they're repeated like that I can't stand it.

Love the groove at the beginning though.

[BlobVanDam]

I cannot think of a legitimate reason to hate any one of those things (ok, well maybe puppies because of the feces and slobber).

[fsh3702]

like the song and miss kevin moore.

woods to chop before sleep.

everyone should work to feed oneself, even you don't like your work.

[rumborak]

Love the song. We decided to play it in our band, but only played it once on stage, because it just didn't work live for some reason.

[Ruba]

Simply...

IT ROCKS!

[Jarzombek]

6:00 is a great song. My least favorite from Awake is Space Die Vest.

[SystematicThought]

Great song and a good alarm clock!

[XB0BX]

Love that song, very underrated. How can you not love the pre-chorus and chorus?
