The Root of All Evil < In the Presence of Enemies Part 1
The Answer Lies Within > Forsaken
These Walls > Constant Motion
I Walk Beside You < The Dark Eternal Night
Panic Attack < Repentance
Never Enough < Prophets of War
Sacrificed Sons < The Ministry of Lost Souls
Octavarium > In the Presence of Enemies Part 2
The toughest choice was between ITPOE Part 2 and Octavarium. 8V has two of my least favorite DT songs, Panic Attack and Never Enough. It also has one of my favorites, Octavarium. I would definitely choose 8V over ITPOE as a whole. However, it looks like I favor more songs from SC.
I think my biggest gripes are:
Constant Motion sounds too much like Metallica
Never Enough sounds too much like Muse, and the lyrics are just poor.
The beginning of Sacrificed Sons takes too long.
Forsaken is too poppy.
Highlights:
Repentance has one of JP's best solos.
8V is a masterpiece
ITPOE Part 2
The solo in TMOLS is one of my favorites.
That being said, I think 8V gets the slight edge over SC.
