Simple poll - which of the two d/t singles do you prefer? There's no BOTH option this time because I want you to make a choice, but you can choose to pick neither if neither song has struck your fancy, BUT, of the two, if you like one more than the other, please vote for it!
-Marc.
-
Easily Fall Into the Light for me.
-
You excluded a "Both" option, but also included "Kevin Moore". Since at the moment I like parts of UA better than FITL, and parts of FITL better than UA, I chose Kevin Moore.
-
Easily Fall Into the Light for me.
Ditto. I like both songs, but FITL a bit more.
-
I really like them both..... and about the same. Too early for me to pick on over the other.
-
Fall Into The Light by a country mile.
-
I like both but Fall Into the Light is better to my ears
-
Fall Into The Light by one Astronomical Unit.
-
I really like Untethered Angel but Fall Into the Light is amazing. :hefdaddy
-
First vote for Untethered Angel :lol
It's early days, as I've only listened to FITL twice and UA 4 or 5 times, so it's all subject to change. But UA just grabbed me a bit more. The first half of FITL hasn't done much for me so far, especially the vocals - the melodies just seem a bit uninteresting. I like the second half of the song more, the mellow middle section JRs solo are cool.
UA I just feel has a more consistent quality feeling throughout the song.
-
I would've answered Fall Into the Light, but Kevin Moore and what the fuck.
-
Fall Into the Light was far more surprising in the first listen than Untethered Angel, but then again UA has grown on me considerably so there's that. Picked FITL either way. :D
-
Fall into light without hesitation.
-
Well, I'm going by the less popular option here: Angel.
It feels more cohesive than Light, the chorus is one of my favourites -if not my favourite- by DT, and the lyrics, man, it's like JP wrote them for me (not going to get into details here, tho).
The instrumental section in Light, tho, that's one of the best things DT did in a while, if you ask me.
-
Definitely FITL, without question.
-
Both are great, but I dig Untethered Angel more at the moment. It emphasises the aspects of DT's sound that I like more than Fall Into The Light. But they both rock.
-
Both songs are really good, but somehow FITL seems to me a bit more better structured. UA may be heard like a song that it could be a bit longer (and better), but FITL seems to have the exact lenght. Anyway, just to add, after the excellent vocal melodies from TA, the vocal part is the relatively weaker spot of these 2 songs.
-
Fall Into the Light, it seems sort like a fresh take on DT. I know I'm in the minority but I thought that post MP it still seemed like DT by the numbers, not bad, but also not great, but this song, this song is great.
-
FItL definitely.
-
I voted UA, but I still need to give other 100 listens to FITL to make things even :lol
-
FITL, no doubt. I'm a lot more excited to hear the rest of the album after that.
-
Fall into the light
-
Voted Kevin Moore...
But in all seriousness Fall Into The Light, by a mile.
-
Fall Into The Light gets a slight edge. Both are solid, but neither is fantastic, unfortunately.
-
UA is good but FITL is fantastic for me :)
-
I'd say Untethered Angel as I find the verses and chorus much more exciting on Untethered angel. I can see myself eventually change my mind as Fall Into The Light has some really cool musical ideas, but I frankly can't recall any of the vocal melodies even after just listening to it.
-
FITL currently has a higher Like to Dislike ration in Youtube compared to UA.
-
Right now I prefer UA, but FITL is fast growing on me.
-
What is all this Kevin Moore stuff? lol, I must have missed something. I like both songs, it's too early to make a choice. I'll make a decision when the album drops when I can listen to it on a good stereo.
-
Anyone else first thought that the chorus to FITL was meh but now absolutely loves it?
-
I voted for FitL, I may or may not change my mind. I listened to them both the last couple of days on Amazon one after the other. (now about a dozen or more listens each). I am really digging UA more than I was. At first I was kind of put off by the sound of the vocals, but after listening this way (and my favorite way... when mountain biking), it is totally growing on me. It seems most of DT's music is like this. Now, I feel myself head-banging and wanting to turn up the volume. I find the chorus for UA in my head and it seems like I have a feel for the album listening like this. It will be another great one. :metal
-
What is all this Kevin Moore stuff?
All polls on DTF must contain Kevin Moore as an option. It's in the forum rules and regulations I think.
On topic, I knew it'd be a landslide, but damn, FITL is just wailing on UA.
-
FITL for me for sure.
-
Is there any way of seeing the results without voting?
-

Yes, especially when I focused on the lyrics, I find the emotions of the melody fit to a T.
-
Fall into the light is the best song they wrote since Breaking all illusions. The middle part of the song is pure magic. I'm glad to see they can still write great stuff.
-
Is there any way of seeing the results without voting?
FITTL - 75.9%
UA - 12.7%
Neither - 1.9%
Kevin Moore - 9.5%

I've listened to UA about 20 times and also been learning it on guitar. Everything minus the solos, that is. Man, I LOVE THAT TUNE. It's so sick. Myung riff ftw.
I excitedly went into listening to Fall Into The Light and I've heard it only once so far, but it didn't really grab me. I remember loving the intro and the solo, but I need to give it another quality listen. Maybe once I start learning it the love will grow. Regardless I'm enjoying the vibe of this album and cannot wait for more!
-
voted ' Kevin Moore Fell in to the Light '... aka never enough of him
-
Fall into the light for sure - loved that one instantly. Untethered Angel felt more DT by the numbers upon first listen, although I've grown to really enjoy it.
-
FITL easily.
-
FITL easily. Sounds more fresh and unique compared to UA, which sounds like you've heard it before. Though i'm sure with more listens I'll enjoy UA also..
-
We're almost to February... are we going to get a 3rd single?
I want one, but I can only remember there being 2 singles for the Mangini-era albums.
-
That's the good thing about January. At least thus far in our history, it has always led to February.
-

With DT being on IO now, I think we can expect a third single. It's their standard procedure to release 3 singles pre-album.
-
Really hope we don't get a third single until at least release week... Mainly because I won't be able to stop myself from listening :P
It's only been just over 2 weeks since the last!
I've been quite surprised at how early the first 2 have been released. I expected a first single early January, then a second single 15th Feb.
I still think we'll see something on the 15th, most artists release a final pre-release single the week before the album drops.
Plus it would keep a 5 week single cycle going: Dec 7th >5weeks> Jan 11th >5 weeks> Feb 15th(?) >1 week> ALBUM BITCHES!
-
This is actually exactly IO's strategy (or let's say it was that in the case of Haken's and Steve Hackett's recent albums respectively) that they release a third single one week before the release date. I'm not surprised if that will happen with DT as well. Note: I don't work for IO, that's just my observation.
-
I think I need to change my vote to UA. I have been listening to both. Since I am only 3 years into DT, I have been ODing on their music - so bombs away on the 2 singles. As with the majority of their music, I grow in my love for the songs. Some stay high on the list while some may slip back down. UA I liked, but it wasn't a 10 for me. Then FItL came, and I was really hooked on the solo. But now, whenever UA comes on the playlist, I am excited an crank it!. It gets better and better. :heart
-
Voted FITL because I liked the sound+the midsection+the ending and the thrash vibe that is kind of new, so innovative for DT
But honestly, the more I listen to them, the more UA sticks to my mind and the less I can recall FITL in my mind instantaneously !
-
It's a tricky poll. I voted for Fall into the Light but UA is also great.
I think we all love FITL's middle instrumental section, and UA has that "heard it before" feeling since it has so many similarities with other DT songs. However on the long run maybe you will like that song better since it's similar to ones that you already love... if that makes sense.
So both are very good, but for now I would say FITL has more potential and has more interesting elements for me for sure than UA.
-
I voted for neither, because my feeling is that the "singles" may not be representative for the album as a whole.

The question was which one do you prefer. In deciding that I guess it doesn't matter if these singles represent the album as a whole or not.
-
I like them both, so that's another reason I voted for neither (if that makes sense)

Yes, and that is completely fine. :)
