Which song on DT12 are you looking forward to the most?
« on: August 09, 2013, 05:09:38 AM »
I was wondering which song on the upcoming album you are looking forward to the most?

Granted, we only have the song titles to go by (plus un-confirmed track length), and not that much descriptions what kind of styles they will be in.

I'm really looking forward to the big epic 'centerpiece' song - Illumination Theory.

Same. Illumination Theory mostly, but I'm also curious as to how FAS will sound.

I voted for Behind The Veil, because it's the only one we're getting stems for in the deluxe edition. This intrigues me.

Yes and also Along for the ride mostly because they named the tour after it.

For me it's definitely Illumination Theory but I'm also looking forward to hearing Enigma Machine since it's been so long since we last heard a new DT instrumental.

Interestingly, this time round it seems that alot of tracks are getting "attention":

Enemy Inside - Single Release
The Bigger Picture - On Vinyl in the limited edition set
Behind the Veil - Stem tracks in the limited edition set
Along for the Ride - Title for the Euro Tour

I guess if DT had a mascot it would be a typewriter named "Enigma Machine"  ;D

For me personally, Illumination Theory sound most promising, given how the previous album-closers were consistently among my favorites.

ACOS is the only 20+ minute epic I really like, so I'm not that excited about Illumination Theory. Surrender to Reason sounds like the most interesting title, so I voted for it.

The Epic at the end - to see if it comes close to competing with Octavarium..

In my opinion - they haven't come close to beating that song yet.

Not with In The Presence of Enemies - definitely not with The Count of Tuscany and not with Breaking All Illusions.

[ and for my money - not with A Change Of Seasons either ] .

Why so much hate for Raw Dog? It doesn't particulary stand out, but it's not terrible. Keep in mind, it was made as background music for a video game, so it was probably meant to "blend in" rather than "stand out".

Still, I'd bet my ass that the song would see much more praise if it had been released on a studio album.

Why do so many people keep assuming that? Raw Dog was made for the God of War 3 soundtrack CD, but it's not even in the game. Wouldn't fit there anyway, since the in-game soundtrack is all epic orchestra music.

I love Raw Dog, since the first listen. I just hope I can get my hand on the version that doesn't cut off at the end.

I can't answer because we know little to nothing about how the album sounds. But I hope that EVERY song will be great.

Illumination Theory of course, but FAS as a close second, and Enigma Machine as a close third as well.

Actually this. I think the instrumental is going to be amazing. They will definitely use MM to the fullest on this. I have high expectations for it.

Where is the "All the Above" option? Honestly, I'm looking forward to all of this album. I get the impression that each song blends into the next and I'm excited to hear how the whole thing works together.

Titles mean very little to me. I'm looking forward to the one with the crazy instrumental breakdown. However, there's sure to be one on the epic, so I voted IT.

The obvious choice + FAS and the other instrumental (Enigma Machine).


I'm really looking forward to the big epic 'centerpiece' song - Illumination Theory.

How can it be the centerpiece if it's at the end huhuh
