By four votes, "Metropolis", one of the band's classic and fan-favorite concert-pieces, as well as epics, is finally out, placing third and getting the bronze. It hung in there for as long as it could, but it makes way for two of Dream Theater's most loved side-length epics - the 23-minute "A Change Of Seasons" and the 24-minute "Octavarium". Only ONE of these epics will get first place, while the other shall settle for second - which is YOUR least favorite of these two?
This round will be open for TWO days, just to ensure that everyone here gets a chance to vote, so I hope to see at LEAST 42 votes in this final Finals round! Thanks again to EVERYONE who has participated in this. It's been a LOT of fun to do this year, and I've really enjoyed seeing the results unfold! The past month of Finals rounds has been pretty interesting, though now that we're here at the end of all things, it'll be fun to see which of these behemoth classic epics will beat the other one!
What's next for me? I will bring back my Genesis Survivor, which I've only done once and not since 2012! The board has definitely had members come and go in the last five years, so I think it's been plenty of time since then to do this one again, and hopefully I will have more players this go around (at least for MOST of the albums). If there are any Genesis fans here in the DT Survivor thread, I hope you continue to follow me as we decide which Genesis song will survive the longest!
