Best three-song run on Awake

[KevShmev]

Tough call between Erotomania/Voices/The Silent Man and Lifting Shadows Off a Dream/Scarred/Space Dye Vest, but I had to go with the latter run.

[robwebster]

Oof. There's one I'm not too bothered about in every single combination. This might be why I'm a little lukewarm on Awake.

Caught in a Web / Innocence Faded / Erotomania, I guess?

[?]

The last one, because it includes the best 2 songs on the album.

[Jaffa]

I went with A Mind Beside Itself. 

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

Well, this is hard.   

[Zydar]

Caught in a Web/Innocence Faded/Erotomania

[Nekov]

A mind beside itself

[ariich]

Oof. There's one I'm not too bothered about in every single combination. This might be why I'm a little lukewarm on Awake.

Pretty much same here, I'm not seeing any really great 3-song runs, which is odd given how many songs there are!

I went with Innocence Faded/Erotomania/Voices.

[Scorpion]

Yeah, the last one. While AMBI flows better, Scarred and SDV are two of my favourites.

[SomeoneLikeHim]

The last one, although IF/E/V was close.

[Podaar]

Erotomania/Voices/The Silent Man

Although I really struggled to pick it above The Silent Man/The Mirror/Lie

[The Letter M]

Tough call between Erotomania/Voices/The Silent Man and Lifting Shadows Off a Dream/Scarred/Space Dye Vest, but I had to go with the latter run.

Same. As much as I like AMBI, had to go with the last 3 on this one!

-Marc.

[Kotowboy]

First three songs. I always get bored after that.

[TheGreatPretender]

I find that Awake doesn't really have any 3-song runs that really flow together well, all the while having three very stellar songs back to back to back. So I went with The Silent Man, The Mirror, and Lie. They might not flow together too well, (the first two I mean), but at least they're all great songs. Outside of that trio, there's usually at least one song that's a bit underwhelming.

[JayOctavarium]

I went with A Mind Beside Itself. 

This... would be the last one but it's not because Lifting Shadows Off a Dream

[Cool Chris]

IF-E-V, just on the strength of IF and V.

Ok, weird acronymage there.

[Lolzeez]

While AMBI is amazing and has TSM,I went with the last 3. Scarred and SDV are perfect songs and LSOAD comes quite close.

[PwnsomeWin]

Definitely A Mind Beside Itself. I'd say the last three if it wasn't for Scarred...

[JPX]

I refuse to vote because The Mirror/Lie/Scarred isn't an option.

[wasteland]

Well, it's sad having to leave Voices out, but the last run has 2/3 of the album top 3 songs and Lifting Shadows Of A Dream.on it

[krands85]

Innocence Faded/Erotomania/Voices, slightly ahead of AMBI and the final grouping.

[ronnibran]

Innocence Faded and Voices are far and away my favorite two songs from Awake, so I went with the one that included both of them.

[425]

Last three. Lifting Shadows is carried by the strength of Scarred and Spacd-Dye Vest. I did almost go for the first three, but Scarred and SDV are just too good to not pick them.

[black_biff_stadler]

In my 7 years on this forum, I've seen so much criticism for Scarred and even more for SDV. It's delightfully shocking to see so much love for them in this thread. Because I'm a mouth-breathing neanderthal metalhead, I like Lie just a cunt hair more than SDV though that's just my opinion as of now and if you asked me which one I preferred every day for a year, I doubt I'd give the same answer more than a week straight at any point.

I went with Lie, LSoaD, Scarred. Just like every one else, I can't go 3 straight songs without finding blahcore since IF, TSM, and LSoaD are all unquestionably my bottom 3 and have been that way since Voices moved past TSM about a decade ago.

[LieLowTheWantedMan]

Going with A Mind Beside Itself. The final 3 are close contenders though.

It's kinda funny, I probably like the sum of the final 3 more, but A Mind Beside Itself just has that flow to it I love. I feel obligated to pick it.

Exactly this.

[Unlegit]

The suite would be my first pick, but the second to last option is also a good choice.

[BlobVanDam]

I went for the easy option of AMBI, although Voices/TSM/The Mirror was an equal contender aside from not being the complete suite. There weren't any other options that come close to those for me.

[Rattlehead]

Voices/The Silent Man/The Mirror

[Daso]

This has been the toughest one so far, even more so than Images and Words. Went with Lie/LSOAD/Scarred. Scarred is on a close match with Voices as my favorite song off Awake; LSOAD is absolutely beautiful, nothing more, nothing less; and Lie is one of the best DT heavy songs imo. AMBI was also a great choice, but pretty much every combo was as well 

[mellotron_scratch]

Last three. Lifting Shadows is carried by the strength of Scarred and Spacd-Dye Vest. I did almost go for the first three, but Scarred and SDV are just too good to not pick them.

This. Love all 3 songs.

[TAC]

Went with LSOAD/Scarred/SDV.

[wolfking]

Mirror/Lie/Shadows

[Mladen]

Lifting Shadows Off a Dream/Scarred/Space Dye Vest

I could have gone with a couple other choices, though, this album is just so strong throughout.

[Ruba]

Hmmm... Scarred and Space-Dye Vest are my top 2 songs here, but I don't like LSOAD that much... this requires some thinking.

I'll go with LSOAD/Scarred/SDV anyway.
