Maybe this has already been done, but i don't see anything...
So I was just driving home from work with Falling Into Infinity blasting on maximum volume. Needless to say, I had forgotten how much I loved Trial of Tears. The mood it creates is astounding, John Petrucci is wonderful, Myung's lyrics are beautiful and poetic, and I think JLB's vocals sound as good as ever on that track. I had major chills when the acoustic guitar strumming kicked in and the 'wasteland' section began. I was then forced to tears as it climaxed once again.
All in all, this is without a doubt my favorite from FII, and also a top 10 song for me, maybe even top 5 if I'm in the right mood. Songs with Myung lyrics are some of my favorites (LTL coming in at 3 overall), and listening to this gem of a track just makes me more excited about Breaking All Illusions.
