"Best" Song from "Awake"

[chaossystem]

I can't say for sure, but judging by the enthusiastic reactions I've been reading on here, the second set in the band's current live show may be the most popular ever.

The entire SECOND HALF of "Awake!"

As such this poll may be somewhat stressful for some of you, because now you have to pick just ONE!!!

[Outcrier]

Voices.

[Lolzeez]

Scarred
Voices / "Space-Dye Vesty"
Lifting Shadows Off A Dream
The Mirror
The Silent Man
Lie
Innocence Faded
Karina Webb
6:00
Erotomania

[Zook]

Scarred

[TheCountOfNYC]

I wanted to vote for Scarred, but I accidentally voted for 6:00 instead, which is actually my least favorite song on Awake.

[bosk1]

They played my three favorite songs from Awake this tour, so I was pretty happy.

You probably won't have to worry about it.

Right now it looks like Scarred will be the winner.

[CharlesPL]

Lie - Today's selection.

[Nearmyth]

The poll not being in album order messes me up

Scarred

[ThatOneGuy2112]

Scarred, by a long shot.

[The Letter M]

"The Mirror", although "Scarred" was very close.

-Marc.

[The King in Crimson]

Voices for shizzle

[Jaffa]

Caught in a Web.

... Yeah, I'm weird.  For what it's worth, Scarred and Voices would be my next favorites. 

[YtseJamittaja]

Lie - Today's selection.

This. But Awake is an album which doesn't have the highlight for me. It's just a strong album with 11 good songs, some of those are a little lower than others.

I posted this exact poll half a year ago: https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=41486.0

But yeah, S-DV is my fave.

1. Why aren't the songs in album order on the poll? What's the logic behind this order?

2. Space-Dye Vesty? 

[Zydar]

I'm really in the minority here, but Innocence Faded.

[Sycsa]

I'm really in the minority here, but Innocence Faded.

I'm with you.

[BlobVanDam]

There are no clear standouts on Awake as there are on many of their other albums imo, but I'll go with my pal Jaffa and go with CIAW. I really like the concise melodic stuff, along with Innocence Faded, and they're perhaps the only things on the album you could call underrated. But I like everything up to and including The Mirror about the same.

Lifting Shadows Off A Dream by a nipple over Scarred.

[krands85]

Voices has always been my favourite from Awake. JPs solo is one of his best and it has some of my favourite vocals and lyrics in a DT song. Those things just elevate it above Scarred for me.

[JiM-Xtreme]

There isn't really a stand-out "best" song on Awake for me. Of all the albums they've ever done, this is perhaps the most balanced in terms of song quality.

But right now I'm going with Scarred.

1. Why aren't the songs in album order on the poll? What's the logic behind this order?

2. Space-Dye Vesty? 

I always put all of the songs in alphabetical order, unless it's a concept album or a live album.

That's just the way I do things...

[chaossystem]

Caught in a Web.

... Yeah, I'm weird.  For what it's worth, Scarred and Voices would be my next favorites.

I'm actually surprised "Caught" didn't get MORE votes.

It's not one of MY favorites, but still...

wut

Erotomania
Voices

[chaossystem]

I was thinking "A Mind Beside Itself" when I put 2-4 where they are, but then I remembered "C" for "Caught, comes after before "A," but "E" for "Erotomania" comes after "C," so I just left it the way way it is, instead of splitting up AMBI.

[JayOctavarium]

DONT MAKE ME CHOOSE 

[JayOctavarium]

ok I chose


Space Dye
Scarred
6:00
AMBI

Voices
Mirror/Lie
Mirror
Web

Innocence

Silent Man
Lie

Shadows

I ranked The Mirror / Lie  and AMBI separately  and together

[mikeyd23]

Voices all the way.

[Sir GuitarCozmo]

Scarred.  Probably my favorite DT song overall.

[The Nameless One]

Scarred
The Mirror
Lie
Erotomania
Lifting Shadows Off A Dream
Caught In A Web

[Destiny Of Chaos]

Voices, by far.

[Dublagent66]

Scarredy cat...

[The Stray Seed]

Voices is my choice =)

The whole album is a masterpiece, but I went for Voices since I think it's a formidable combination of outstanding atmospheres - vocals - and lyrics.
