This is fantastic news! :metal
Thanks DoC for being our online master of ceremonies and keeping us engaged League after League with this weekly fun :metal
-
Yeeees! Hell yes. Let's go.
-
Awesome! Looking forward to it.
-
I’m looking forward to helping Octavarium return to its rightful place on the throne.
-
Cool, it's a tournament for a band that I can finally participate in!
Well, I would've been able to do the Haken one that happened this year, but it was already close to the end by the time I'd listened to all the albums they had...
I’m looking forward to helping Octavarium return to its rightful place on the throne.
Octavarium absolutely deserves the throne...
...but A Change of Seasons exists.

A Change of Seasons vs Octavarium is the classic championship matchup that we were denied last year. May the heated rivalry take place where it belongs: the tournament finals.

:2metal:
Excellent news, DoC!
-
Thanks for the feedback everyone.
Just wanted to update that the Play in tournament will begin on November 23rd!
-
I have never participated in these leagues, it looks like a lot of fun, Nov 23rd, are you here already? No? humm, let's wait a bit more.
-
Ready!!
-
:tup :tup :tup
-
LET'S GO!!!
-
I'm guessing the bottom 27 songs just aren't participating at all then. We had 152 songs in the last League. We have 125 this year, including the play-in songs.
-
I don't think I've ever had the patience to participate in this but will do this time around.
-
It has begun....

These results continue to baffle.
Eve beating Viper King?!
TBOT and Repentance beating...well...anything else?!
Also -- probably because I wasn't paying enough attention -- I only just realized this was a bracket style tournament and not a mini-league.

A bit of a shame to see the masterpiece that is The Best of Times not qualify, but I guess that's just the way the ol' ball bounces.

If you think TBOT is a "masterpiece," what sort of words do you use for songs like ACOS, Metropolis and ITNOG?

For A Change of Seasons, I'm not sure how to describe it because I tend to have a hard time trying to describe what is my favorite song ever made, and what I'd consider to be the greatest song ever made.
As for the other two, I would say "shy of perfection". I'd easily put Metropolis Pt. 1 into the "masterpiece" category, but I've listened to it so much that I'm burned out on it so it has gone down my rankings in some ways.

And good it is!
Only two rounds, and the "usual suspects" are already all there at the top of Division 1.

Decided that we also have time to run a league for the album's. So those polls will open. On Thursday. Will last 13 weeks which will allow for each album for face off against each other. Top 8 at season's end will make the playoffs.

Ravenskill, The Bigger Picture and A Better Life still at the bottom with three defeats? come on!
Two of TBP's losses make sense, but to lose to New Millennium is incomprehensible. Two of Ravenskill's losses came at the hand of other TA tracks, but its third loss is a no brainer, as are all of ABL's losses.

I guess nobody can be surprised at the top 4.
The "problem" with the top division is that it's so ridiculously packed with awesome songs that every match seems a difficult choice, and every consecutive defeat an anomaly :D

One round and we already have the likely ending top 3.... save surprises from Six Degrees :D

I’m assuming the top 8 albums will be:
1: Images and Words
2: Scenes From a Memory
3: Awake
4: Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
5: A Dramatic Turn of Events
6: Distance Over Time
7: Train of Thought
8: Falling Into Infinity or Octavarium depending on the matchups they draw

With just 14 choices, I believe every album will face all the others eventually.

What are the red and green fonts signifying? It's way too early for any song to have clinched a top 16 spot or be eliminated, isn't it? What is the "Outsiders Club"?

The fonts are for trending.... if the season ended today sort of thing. Even then, the top 4 songs won't necessarily be promoted unless they advance to the final 4 of the tournament.
Outsider's Club is basically every DT song not in the 3 Divisions. If this done regularly, those songs can vie in a league, tournament, survivor etc to promote 4 up to Division 3.

I know this is the heavyweight championship, but it's kinda weird to see Illumination Theory at the very bottom.
No surprises for the top 5 so far. Take the Time is still going undefeated but it's evident that its victories are always contested and never a landslide like for the other four giants.

ITNOG is getting jobbed!
And folks obviously like TSCO WAY more than I do.

The top 3 and the last one remain the same. Six Degrees takes the 4th spot and I wouldn't be surprised if it would remain there...
-
I'm honestly amazed and impressed that Images and Words managed to concede as many as 4 votes to The Astonishing.

I'm honestly amazed and impressed that Images and Words managed to concede as many as 4 votes to The Astonishing.
Right?? My guess would be a couple of those votes were motivated by: "I know I&W will win, so I voted for TA just to avoid a shutout" (or something like that).
-
I'm honestly amazed and impressed that Images and Words managed to concede as many as 4 votes to The Astonishing.
I was one of those four voters. I simply enjoy The Astonishing as an album much more than I enjoy Images and Words. If I considered Take the Time and Under A Glass Moon to be as good as the rest of the songs on Images and Words, I'd have voted for that album instead.
-
I just dont enjoy I&W as much as most of the rest. I love all their music, but I choose it the least. It really is different than all the rest and I like how they became a bit edgier after. I listen to TA much more often, but it's not my favorite either.

The one that's out of whack for me is Constant Motion. 1-3-1? I know most folks like ITPOE, but Constant Motion is, for me, the best song on SC by miles.

I know the competition is not tough, but it's weird to see Sacrificed Sons leading undefeated.
To complete the four best of, we have a leftover and two Charlie songs, the revenge of the forgotten ;D
And I'm gonna point out the shame of Ravenskill being last until it will no longer be!
-
IMO, Sacrificed Sons is pretty easily the best song in this division. Of course, the song I think is second best is 1-4-1, so....
And, not surprisingly, 7 of the 8 TA songs in the division are in the bottom half (although the one in the top half is performing quite well).

The heavyweight matches give their results on the ranking: now we have three albums on the run, and everyone else detached of 2 victories!
The bottom adjustes with Systematic Chaos and The Astonishing as the only album without a victory....
-
Top 4: no surprise.
Bottom 2: no surprise.
BC&SL performing better than expected.
-
Let’s make no mistake about it, and I say this as a fan of the album, Black Clouds & Silver Linings has had an easy beginning of its schedule, beating When Dream and Day Unite, Systematic Chaos, and the self titled. It has one more realistically winnable matchup against The Astonishing and then it’s all losses from there.

Nothing changes at the top or at the bottom, but Raise the Knife, while still maintaing the top 4 slot, gives way with a defeat!
Ravenskill being the very last still displeases me. Such as seing A Life Left Behind above A Better Life, I think Better is, ehr, the better song out of the two.

Nothing stops the Big 4... and nothing seems to save the "Last 4" it seems!
While Breaking All Illusions is the only Mangini song at the top and more generally the best performing song post-Score, The Count of Tuscany is the other post-Score song in the top 10, at a very respectable 8th place, considering that the third post-Score song is 20th.
-
I'm mostly ok with the bottom 4 here. The only difference is that I'd replace Illumination Theory with 6:00.

Just some movements in the middle, but for the rest the album standing remains the same since last week.
-
I'm honestly kinda surprised that Six Degrees is up there with the twin peak legends of I&W and SFAM. I would've assumed the title track taking up the entire second half would drag the album's rating down. Or is disc 1 so great that the title track's apparent genericity doesn't matter?

The title track of Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence is the greatest song on the album to me, and I'd consider it one of the greatest pieces of music ever made.

I imagine the greatness of disc 2 pumps up the votes despite disc 1 closing with a couple very weak songs.

Not in my case. If split apart as separate releases, disc 1 would be at the top of the list and disc 2 near the bottom. Disappear is probably my favorite of their ballads and I rate it extremely high, and I also really like TGD a lot. Can't say the same for disc 2, altho it has grown on me over time.

SDOIT as a single-disc album without TGD and Disappear would probably rank above SFAM as my favorite DT album.

SoC and Panic Attack being the only losers in the top ten - against the SDVs.

Seems like nothing is gonna stop the Big 4 unless a direct match. However Metropolis by votes difference gains a slot over Learning to Live!
The Count of Tuscany continues to be the "best post-Score song which isn't Breaking All Illusions" performing well amidsts a bunch of super classics.

AWE scores an important, and very close, win to keep away from the regulation zone - to the disadvantage of IT.

Ouch, out of the last 6 spots, 5 are taken by Astonishing songs.
And in the red zone there two of the best songs of the album (A Better Life and the very last, Ravenskill), but evidently my opinion about those songs is not the mainstream one....

-
The first big match at the top decides that the leading group is now made of three songs - out Octavarium, that still keeps a top 4 slot but now counts a defeat at the hands of Metropolis.
Kinda surprised to see In The Name of God in danger of relegation, but again, this is the heavyweight division, every song continously losing would be a surprise....

Very surprising given that this division includes stuff like The Mirror and Lines in the Sand, both of which most folks seemingly like way more than I do. That said, and without checking, I believe ITNOG has had a brutal schedule thus far, and I expect it to rise up a bit.

With a direct victory against it, Awake reaches Six Degrees at the 6-2 ranking.
The Astonishing still has only defeats, but it fought hard enough to overtake Systematic Chaos' penultimate position.

I’m kind of hoping DoC found a way to put off the SFaM/IaW matchup until the final week.

Two undefeated songs at the top.... and the relegation slots completely occupied by Astonishing songs, two of which among the best songs on the album! gaaaaah
-
I was thinking that about Ravenskill especially. It really is a great song..It got me thinking, since some of the TA songs are losing to what I would guess are songs that aren't that popular (Foresaken for example). Do a fair amount of people, because they just don't care for TA, not know the songs well? I wonder if so, and if they actually did know, then a song like Ravenskill would do better.

I can only speak for myself, but I rank TA last among DT's albums. It took me a LONG time before I really felt I had given the album a fair opportunity. I finally got to that point a couple years ago, but I still don't feel like I know the individual songs well. The reason for that -- which is also my biggest complaint about TA -- is that there is a HUGE amount of sameness on the album. Soft piano/keyboard passages and mid-tempo Broadway rock segments. I had a very hard time distinguishing one song from another (there's one song that starts off a bit like a Dixie Dregs song that I kind of like, but I can never remember its name and have a hard time finding it). I would vote for almost any non-TA song over every TA song (the exceptions in this group being New Millennium and Honor Thy Father, both of which I actively dislike). When TA songs are pitted against each other, I abstain.
With that said, upon reading your post, I popped open Ravenskill and listened. I was tempted to turn it off somewhere between the 1:00 - 2:00 mark because it was just boring. When the heavy stuff kicked in, that was kinda nice, but it was fairly generic and didn't last too long. Then it went back to the soft piano stuff with a bit of Broadway mixed in. All in all, it was everything I don't care for about TA. I give DT all the props in the world for trying something so ambitious. The performances are good, and JLB is lights out on the album, but it's ultimately not for me.
-
Even though I really like The Astonishing, most of the songs therein work much better as parts of the whole rather than as individual songs, at least IMO. So I'm not the least bit surprised at these results.
There are only a few that I would expect to do fairly well in this kind of competition (The Gift of Music, Our New World, maybe 1 or 2 others).

I second this notion. I quite like Dystopian Overture, A Life Left Behind, A New Beginning, and Our New World and I listen to them outside of the album, but the reality is that most of these songs don’t work out of the context of the album. And since the album is so long it’s quite hard to find the time to listen to it in full. So even though I do love The Astonishing, it’s easily my least listened to Dream Theater album.

And gaaah at the unsurprising bottom remaining unchanged, with all Astonishing songs and Ravenskill not catching a break.

Earthquake at the top! in two of the most defining matches of the season, A Change of Seasons keeps the lead resisting Metropolis' assault - this means that Metropolis is now third because the other top dog, Learning to Live, defeated Octavarium which sent the song at the FIFTH place, surpassed by Voices which now has a 11-1 score just like Metropolis!
At the bottom the bigass epic Illumination Theory climbs out of the danger, leaving 6:00 in it.
-
Also, ITNOG finally got it's long overdue first win.

Whaaat? last I checked the polls SFAM and the debut were winning, in the diametrically opposed more intriguing matches.... but the tables turned last minute!
This means that Images and Words is alone at the top and very likely to win the entire tournament, while The Astonishing snatches a victory and leaves Systematic Chaos at the bottom with 0 wins!
-
Illumination Theory somehow finds itself above the drop zone despite not winning a match yet.

Nothing changes at the top.
Impressive how both Metropolis and Voices have the same score, having won all matches but one, but Metropolis is massively in the lead when it comes to actual votes difference.... Metropolis wins everything in a landslide, Voices has to battle.
-
Irritated at myself for missing division 1.
My votes would have turned 3 of those wins into ties.
-
A first win for Misunderstood, leaving Disappear at the very bottom. And two wins in a row now for ITNOG.

All the instrumentals are still in the top 10, with one posed to ascend to Division 1.
Speaking of promotion, looks like SFAM is the only album to have a concrete chance of sending not one but two songs (arguably the "same" song) up amongst the big players, with Awake having a lesser chance at it.
-
Hard to believe that Only a Matter of Time was in the play-in tournament, and now it’s most likely gonna get promoted to Division 2.

I believe FII is up against SDoIT, so even with a likely ToT loss in the final week, it should hold its spot because FII is also most likely going to lose.

And, SC will be going up against TA. If WDADU loses (and it certainly will against DOT) and SC wins, those three albums will all finish with one win apiece. Given the current point differentials, SC is certain to finish in last place (win or lose).

A solid, and somehow predictable, Top 8. I personally wouldn't rank SC last, if only for ITPOE.
-
I thought SFAM was gonna win this, otherwise as just posted, it's a cool albeit predictable list.
Charlie Dominici managed to not finish last, and two Mangini albums out of four made it to the top 8, with The Astonishing snatching at least two victories.
-
I’d like to congratulate Octavarium, A Dramatic Turn of Events, Distance over Time, and Train of Thought on their successful seasons, but let’s be honest the album tournament was always gonna come down to “which of the big four will the forums collectively favor this year”.
-
I’m rooting for Octavarium to have at least one early upset.
-
I’m rooting for Octavarium to have at least one early upset.
Me too, as it’s my second favorite Dream Theater album only behind SFaM. I actually think the most likely round one upset is ADToE over Awake, but in reality, the only result from the regular season that might change is the eventual championship matchup between IaW and SFaM.
-
Let's also note that, even if Images and Words won the tournament, Scenes from a Memory by far got the most large victories, meaning that it never had any serious competition.... until it had!

I just realized that it's the final four songs in the knockout tournament that will be promoted, not necessarily the top 4 at regular-season's-end. So if song #14 gets two upsets or whatever, that song will be promoted.

Yes, I felt it would be better that way in case say a 5 seed with a harder schedule beats a 4 seed with an easier schedule in the tournament.

Hoping at least A Better Life or Ravenskill get a couple of wins (unlikely) surpassing at least A Life Left Behind, since they're way better songs.

Learning to Live was risking big time, but came back and won over Six Degrees.
Finally Free took over once again from Fatal Tragedy a place in the top 10, the switch had just happened last week.
Disappear finally gets a win!!! against nothing else than DT's greatest hit, Pull Me Under! this does not bring it outside the relegation zone, but still there's a fighting chance.
6:00 also is at the bottom and, while I have nothing against the song, in such an impossible and heavyweights list I'd daresay it's kinda espexted for it to be last.
Still, that song won at least a match - which leaves only Illumination Theory, a big epic, with incredibily ZERO victories, only two draws!

I'm utterly baffled that 6:00 has fared so poorly and that Disappear beat PMU.

D'UH. A Better Life and Ravenskill are matched together, so at least one song would win.... and OBVIOUSLY they draw. Meh.
At this point, a victory would have benefitted A Better Life 'cause the previous only victory it had would give her a fighting chance, but a draw serves absolutely nothing to either songs - not a very helpful second win for A Better Life, nor a consolation victory for Ravenskill to scroll off that "0" in the table.
-
If I'm not mistaken, Ravenskill has clinched banishment. With two weeks remaining, the best it can do is 2-17-1 (or 2.5-17.5). A Life Left Behind currently occupies the final "safe" spot, and the worst it can do is 2-16-2 (or 3-17). Therefore, it's off to the salt mines with Ravenskill.
The other three of the bottom four songs still have a sliver of hope.

"My personal tastes are right" moment: pity to see These Walls and Lie so low, I would probably have them actually promoted, or at the very least in the top 16 in place of The Great Debate, This Dying Soul or Hell's Kitchen.
Let's also see if there will be a joint victory at the top, or the SDV duo will stumble at the very end!
-
"My personal tastes are right" moment
This is probably the division with what are, to me, the most baffling results. Space-Dye Vest with a perfect record?? Wait for Sleep is a fine little intro to Learning to Leave. By itself, however, there's no way it should have a 13-5 record while Outcry is 3-15. And don't even get me started on The Great Debate.
-
I can see what you're saying - am especially surprised at how well TGD has been doing - not that I'm complaining as I really like the song. If these contests were to run so that every single song would be compared to every other song, maybe things might balance out a bit more. But then again, maybe not. Keep in mind that there's not that many who are actually participating, so it's probably not all that accurate according to the fanbase as a whole, or even everyone who's a regular part of this forum in general.

Minor change at the top, with Voices gaining a position over Home. Stunning how we have to drop until the 19th position to find a SECOND change!
A major change also happens at the bottom, with Disappear finally dragging itself out of the relegation zone, which is good. However now Bridges in the Sky is in danger, which is bad.

I believe the bottom four here have clinched banishment. Even if BMUBMD wins and A Life Left Behind loses in the final week, they'd be tied, but the vote differential gap is too much for BMUBMD to overcome.

The last three songs are doomed. Now there's gonna be a three way fight for salvation.
The SDV duo secured the two top spots with one turn left, now it's just a matter of who ends up first.

Unless it loses.... which given the perfect score so far, it won't probably happen, unless the very last match is the SDV derby!

True...maybe those songs will face off against each other. That vote wouldn't even be a question for me, but I've been surprised at how well some of what I consider to be "lesser" songs from I&W and Awake have been performing.

Out of curiosity, were BMUBMD's three wins against the songs that finished below it?
-
That's right!
Beat Ravenskill 13-12 in Week 7.
Beat A Better Life 15-8 in Week 10.
Beat Dystopian Overture 11-9 in Week 20.
-
That's right!
Beat Ravenskill 13-12 in Week 7.
Beat A Better Life 15-8 in Week 10.
Beat Dystopian Overture 11-9 in Week 20.
:tup
-
And, quite strangely, Dystopian Overture's only win was against New Millennium, a song that finished in the #9 spot.
-
So Only a Matter of Time wins because of the direct matches! do I totally misremember this song being one of the upcoming from the void, alongside Raise the Knife (that ended fifth) and Hollow Years?
Pity that A Better Life and Ravenskill got no love at all, I consider them both far sperior to A Life Left Behind, if The Path that Divides got 8 victories, at least four wins here and there could have been gathered by two of the best Astonishing songs... uh well, I have something to vote for during the next promotion preliinary round!

No dramatic last minute upset! SDV wins the division, and there's no need to specify which songs since both songs were leaders of the entire division from beginning to the end! congrats however to Strange Deja Vu for properly winning, with its sister song (overture 1928) coming fourth, after Hell's Kitchen which to me has no business of being on the podium, just like The Great Debate should be much lower than #7, maybe in favor of Lie and These Walls which won't take part in the championship tournament, what a pity!
No hope left also for the four songs at the bottom, Surrender to Reason saves itself and the songs that were fourth last time go down (also because only Outcry had still a chance).
Also, all the instrumentals qualified for the tournament.

Here instead we have the big final match, which consecrates A Change of Seasons as the undefeated division champion!!!
The defeat robs Learning to Live of a victory, or at least a co-victory, but not of the second place, with Metropolis arriving third because of a worse differential.
The Glass Prison defeats my boy The Mirror, keeping both outside of the final tournament... damn!

Irrefutable proof that epics are the best. Anyone who denies it is only hiding the indisputable truth from themselves. Fortunately, truth doesn't need validation from anyone. It just is.

Far and away the single most overrated song in Dream Theater’s discography. I get that everyone loves Kevin’s lyrics, but these are probably the worst that he wrote for the band.

I mean...yeah... It's a good song. The lyrics are weird, but I like it. But better than Strange Deja Vu and Stream of Consciousness and Panic Attack and Barstool Warrior?? No.

Totally disagree - I'd take SDVest over all those songs any day of the week. For me it has nothing to do with the lyrics and everything to do with the music.

Congratulations to Only a Matter of Time and SDV!
....which means Space Dye Vest, I was sure Strange Deja Vu would have won the whole thing, but it was a tight race.... for only one point! didn't expect that.

As always thank you DoC for doing an amazing job with this. These are always an absolute joy to participate in and the biggest part of that is the amount of effort and care you put into it.

I echo all the thanks DoC for doing this! Was a lot of fun!
And I'm glad to see Metropolis got 4th place (sorry MM!)! :biggrin:
Would be curious of what the rankings would be if not for those 4 songs, which always rank highest.

Interesting to see how Breaking All Illusions has dropped right down since the last time the division format was used in 2016. That year it finished 4th in the regular season and reached the semi-finals. In 2021, it finished 10th in the regular season and got knocked out in the first round.

Was just checking for new polls. Had no idea it'd ended :lol Thanks for running it, DoC; a real labour of love.

This is A Change of Seasons' sixth DTF tournament championship, after winning Survivors in 2005-07 and Leagues in 2013 and 2019. It has finished "on the podium" (top 3) every single time. ACOS has now drawn level with Octavarium in terms of championships won. Octavarium's came in 2008-09 and 2014-17.
