The Killing Hand. Closely followed by Surrounded.

Basekick

The Shattered Fortress followed closely by Erotomania.  TSF wins for the sheer fact that is contains all of the awesome bombastic qualities of DT, with some of JLB's best vocals (both "look in the mirror..." and "I am responsible...") and one of JP's most killing solos.  It's one hell of an eargasm.  :metal

Surrounded
Erotomania
Hollow Years
The Killing Hand
The Great Debate
The Shattered Fortress
I Walk Beside You
The Dark Eternal Night
Through My Words
Honor Thy Father

Top two are light years ahead of the rest.  Interesting topic idea.

Oh I'll say it...

"I Walk Beside You"

I *love* the song, and right next to it would be "Hollow Years" as two of my favorite 4th Tracks. Throw in "Erotomania", "The Great Debate" and "Surrounded" you have my top five 4th tracks!

While they are all great, except TMW, I would be lying if I didn't say The Shattered Fortress.

TGD and Surrounded come close, though.

Shattered Fortress.

This has pointed out to me that position 4 is one of the more weaker slots on most DT albums.

Anyone count Test that Stumped Them All?

Favourite is definitely Erotomania, as it is a top fifteen DT song for me. Following that would be The Killing Hand, as it is a top 25 DT song for me.

No, because that's just the fourth movement of one song. But if you want to be stupidly picky, it's really track 9 of SDoIT.

MykeHavoc

Okay, but it's still the fourth track on the second disc. Not trying to be picky, just expanding on the choices ;)

The Killing Hand
Honor Thy Father
The Great Debate
Erotomania
Afterlife at Score
Surrounded

The number 4 songs don't seem to be that great generally, so I'm predicting This Is the Life will be one of my least favourite from the new album :D
Whoaaaahh, ohhh, ohhhhh. Whoaaaahh, ohhhhh, ohhhhhh. Waaah, ahhh, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaowwwwww

Pretty soon, we'll be adding "This is the Life" to this list! Hopefully it will be somewhere the top of Track 4's!

It's a tough one between Hollow Years and Surrounded, but I'm going to have to go with Hollow Years.  It's one of their best ballads.

 LIFE TO SAVE LIFE!! *DUMDUMDUMDUM!*
Yeah.. The Great Debate, easily! :metal

Was going to do live tracks to, and Surrounded appears in the fourth track slot on Chaos In Motion and Live at the Marquee and I'd lump those versions in with the Images and Words version.  Hollow Years appears fourth on Budokan and I'd put it with the FII version.  Both great!

#1) Surrounded (Images and Words)
#2) Erotomania (Awake) as a whole I'd put A Mind Beside Itself above surrounded, but this is single track. 
#3) Hollow Years (Falling Into Infinity)

Non of the other fours stick out too much for me... 

Elite

1. Surrounded
2. The Great Debate
3. The Killing Hand
4. Hollow Years
5. The rest, way lower.
