This is extremely difficult for me to rank. Everything except for 8VM moves a lot.
-Octavarium: I enjoy every second of this song. I've loved it since I heard it, and it was the first DT epic I heard. The structure seems natural, and each movement feels like a meaningful addition to the song
- In The Presence of Enemies: ITPOE1 is a very strong opener, and ITPOE2 a strong closer. Besides just enjoying the song, it has an interesting theme. I also love it when people chant things
- Illumination Theory: Was an amazing live song, and the most impressed I was vocally with James on DT12. Great riffs, and beautiful orchestral and piano section. If only I enjoyed the sound of windchimes and birds a little more (I understand why it's there, though)
- Six Degress of Inner Turbulence: I adore four parts, like two of them, and can't stand another two
- A Change of Seasons: great song, but I wore it out a bit. While I still listen to it, and get occasional chills, it doesn't stand out as much as epics mentioned above
- The Count of Tuscany: If only it was about something more captivating than some weird guy who owns wine and tells stories. Interesting theme, but not in the way I'd prefer. great melodies and riffs, but I can't get around the lyrical content. It's a strong song, but not as strong as the others
