Even though Learning to Live is my favorite song from I&W, I am going with Take the Time/Surrounded/Metropolis, since those are my next three favorites.

?

TTT/Surrounded/Metropolis is an awesome combo, but just like on Awake, my top 2 songs are the last 2 so the last option gets my vote.

So many songs of such good quality, there's very little between any of them. Another Day's my least favourite, so that disqualifies the first two combos, and Metropolis is my second least, so the last one's got the best banger-to-mash ratio. Nonetheless, I think I'm gonna go Surrounded to Under a Glass Moon. Metropolis is still really good, and Surrounded and UaGM are golden.

My opinion exactly. These three tracks have the coolest flow, also.

Jaffa

Take the Time, Surrounded, and Metropolis.  Easily.

Same for me. I would have liked to have Another Day, but then I would have had to lose Metropolis.

Under a Glass Moon/Wait for Sleep/Learning to Live

Holy moly.

Under a Glass Moon/Wait for Sleep/Learning to Live easily. Wonderful stuff!

Pretty much this.

I can't vote against any choice that has both Under a Glass Moon and Learning to Live. I picked the last one.

The run of singles (PMU - TTT) with TTT - Metropolis being a close second

Cool Chris

That was much harder than I thought it would have been! PMU-AD-TTT, but could really have been a couple options.
Maybe the grass is greener on the other side because you're not over there fucking it up.

The first three. I don't really like Surrounded or Under A Glass Moon, so yeah.

LtL has recently overtaken Metropolis as my favourite song, but "Take the Time/Surrounded/Metropolis" has my number 2 and number 3 tracks from the album, so I have to go with that.
Whoaaaahh, ohhh, ohhhhh. Whoaaaahh, ohhhhh, ohhhhhh. Waaah, ahhh, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaowwwwww

Take the Time through Metropolis is exquisite. Metropolis and Learning to Live are approximately equal, but both Take the Time and Surrounded are better than Under a Glass Moon and Wait for Sleep.

I really can't decide on this one.  Maybe Surrounded, Metropolis, UaGM.

Take the Time / Surrounded / Metropolis Pt. 1. All 3 fantastic picks. The final option is a close second.

BlobVanDam

For such a consistently good album, that was a surprisingly easy choice for me. I went with Take the Time/Surrounded/Metropolis, since TTT and Metropolis would be my two favourites from the album, and Surrounded is great too!

Daso

The third and the last are a very tight match. Both kick off with a prog masterpiece, have a mellow, cool breather in the middle and end with songs that are among most people's DT top 5. I went with the last one because LtL is my favorite DT song, and I'm infatuated with Wait for Sleep.

I went with Under A Glass Moon/Wait For Sleep/Learning To Live, but it was tough to not vote for Take The Time/Surrounded/Metropolis  :sadpanda:

Metropolis/Under a Glass Moon/Wait for Sleep

This is really difficult. What is better, three top 10 songs or my favourite song of all time + two top 20 songs?  :-\

What in the world DTF?  :lol

Yep yep
Quote from: BlobVanDam on December 11, 2014, 08:19:46 PMHef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Lucidity

Under A Glass Moon, Wait for Sleep, Learning to Live.

Lucien

Metropolis, Under a Glass Moon, Wait for Sleep.


I feel it's a nice settling down. The really intense Metropolis, then the intense Under a Glass Moon, followed by the piano/vocal duet of Wait for Sleep.

Tracks 4-5-6 easily for me.

I voted 3-4-5...but right now, I honestly wish I could take it back and vote for this.   Under a Glass Moon is JP's most amazing solo.
