Title: Which ADTOE song have you listened to the most?
Post by: Zydar on August 11, 2012, 03:28:20 AM
Zydar here.

I'm listening to Breaking All Illusions right now and I got to thinking that I've easily listened to this track the most on this album. I don't have any statistics or anthing to prove it, but I can't think of another song here that I've given more spins than this.

So DTFers, which song do you think you've listened to the most from their latest creation? Cast a vote and discuss.

Not sure exactly, but I think it's Bridges in the Sky. That song comes up quite a lot on shuffle.

I'd say Lost Not Forgotten, especially after seeing almost all of the Texas shows this leg of the tour.

On the Backs of Angels, because it's my favourite of them.

On the Backs of Angels, by a fair margin. I love each instruments (including voice!) musical role, especially Jordan's work! Fantastic.

According to iTunes, Bridges in the Sky and Breaking all Illusions.

Play counts from my Last.fm (doesn't include a lot of plays from before I got the last.fm app on my phone)

On the Backs of Angels - 158
Breaking All Illusions - 110
Bridges in the Sky - 100
Outcry - 98
This is the Life - 85
Lost Not Forgotten - 82
BMUBMD - 70
Beneath the Surface - 69
Far From Heaven - 59

OTBOA is only so far ahead because I listened to it loads before the rest of the album was released, but it's still my 3rd favourite from the album.

OTBOA. Not because it's my favorite, but because it got a head start of something like 300 listens before any of the others even became available.

BAI
OTBOA

all the others!!!

According to my iTunes statistics I've listened to Breaking All Illusions 96 times, This is the Life 91 times, Bridges in the Sky 87, Outcry 80 and Lost Not Forgotten 74 times. I've listened to all of those on Youtube as well. Still, BAI probably wins out.

Forget about what iTunes says... I can't believe that OTBOA isn't winning this poll. I can't be the only one who listened to that song on repeat for months before even hearing the others.

On The Backs of Angels by far. Then Breaking All Illusions I think.

Bridges in the Sky, Breaking All Illusions, Outcry, This Is the Life and Beneath the Surface all have about the same on my iTunes, but that counts computer listens only.  In the car, Bridges in the Sky has been listened to the most, so that gets the nod from me.

Breaking All Illusions, then Bridges in the Sky.

Outcry, followed by Far From Heaven, and Breaking All Illusions.

I voted for Breaking All Illusions, but I'm sure I have listened to Bridges In The Sky and On The Backs of Angels just as much.

On The Backs Of Angels

Mostly because I overplayed the hell out of it last summer. And it's also a fantastic song, still one of my favorites on the album. I'd say my other favorites like Bridges in the sky, Breaking all illusions and Beneath the surface got quite a lot of listens.
Title: Re: Which ADTOE song have you listened to the most?
Post by: theseoafs on August 11, 2012, 10:02:20 AM
The numbers are probably very similar, since I typically listen to the entire album in one sitting.  I think BAI is the song I've thrown on the most out of context, so I picked that one.
Title: Re: Which ADTOE song have you listened to the most?
Post by: Lowdz on August 11, 2012, 10:06:57 AM

OTBOA. It's my favorite, and it also came out first.

Post by: GasparXR on August 11, 2012, 11:11:18 AM
I hardly ever listen to individual songs anymore, but when I shuffled a lot, I often started with this song, and it usually came up anyway. Such an amazing song.

Also, I just listened to the album again last night (first time in about 3 weeks) and it's still my favourite DT album. :tup

Lost Not Forgotten and Outcry are my top two played. LNF sparked my appreciation for ADTOE dynamics. Specifically it's really good with my headphones w/ amp and lossless audio rips, all instruments are clear as day and well mixed.
Title: Re: Which ADTOE song have you listened to the most?
Post by: TheGreatPretender on August 11, 2012, 01:37:16 PM
OTBOA. Considering that I usually just listen to the album as a whole and I listened to OTBOA well over 20 times before the actual album came out.

I've listened to the entire record a fair deal (as it restored my love for the band) but I'll have to go with "Breaking All Illusions" (which to me is easily their best and most memorable song since FII). I just never seem to get enough of it.

BAI by far...
Title: Re: Which ADTOE song have you listened to the most?
Post by: RuRoRul on August 13, 2012, 05:02:51 PM
BAI
Far From Heaven = Beneath The Surface (because I almost always start with FFH when I want to listen to BAI and usually let it play onto BTS)
-
Outcry
-
The rest.

On The Backs Of Angels is probably up there closer to Outcry and BAI as well but I no longer have the play count of it as a single.
Title: Re: Which ADTOE song have you listened to the most?
Post by: Sycsa on August 13, 2012, 06:16:20 PM
Breaking All Illusions is probably the best song overall and the one I listened to the most, but I think I listened the solo section of Outcry even more. On a side note, does anyone else find most of the choruses a bit too stretched and verging on corny? I got used to it after a while, but I still hope it's something they'll change in the next album. 
Title: Re: Which ADTOE song have you listened to the most?

I listened to it a few times, but purposely limited myself so I wouldn't burn out on it early.

Outcry
Breaking All Illusions
Bridges In The Sky
Lost Not Forgotten
On The Backs Of Angels
Build Me Up, Break Me Down
Beneath The Surface
Far From Heaven
This Is The Life.

All I know is that Outcry is still the go to song for me after taking months off from listening to this album. It's the one I fell in love with on first listen and even before track lengths were released, hell even names were released, just hearing how much fun the guys had playing this "Track 6" made me so amped for this song, then when the first big riff of the song came in I was hooked. This is my favourite song of the album and by far the most listened to for me.

I haven't counted my listens for any song so this is a tough question... I listened to OTBOA only 3 or 4 times before the album's release to avoid getting bored with it (which worked!) and it's not one of my favorites on the record. BITS might be my most listened song due to being my favorite along with BAI and having a huge replay value.
