Best Song of the Last Two Releases
« on: August 23, 2010, 07:43:22 PM »
Listening to ITPoE pt.1 prompted me to ask this question because the song is really really good. I voted for it.

I'm guessing TCoT will be #1. Also, never realized that Prophets of War is "P.O.W." hehe

ITPoE will win this. And I know it's the best song from every way of looking at it.

However, Repentence is my favorite off that list. So I voted for that. I don't expect anyone else to.

I wish ITPOE was one choice instead of 2... also wish we could've picked our Top 3 or 4 instead of just one, but it's not my poll  ;)

Anyways, I went with "The Count Of Tuscany".

I imagined the story to go more like this.

I was sitting a traffic light blaring Space Dye Vest and next to me in another car was Kevin Moore. And I'll never be open again.

ITPOE Pt. 1 barely edges out TCOT.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

It's pretty close for me. Could have been either.

The Count of Tuscany, almost without a doubt- but if ItPoE was counted as only one song, I would think it a lot more.

In The Presence of Enemies pt.1 got my vote. It is lyrically and musicaly their best song of the last 2 releases.
Jesus Christ himself* comes down amidst a choir of 2 billion angels singing Handel's Hallelujah chorus. As KrotchRaut shred randomly on guitars made of dragon bones using picks made from God's kidney stones, Jesus heals a blind woman who promptly gives birth onstage to a creation of pure light.

*Yes, Jesus Christ himself. Nothing less will do.

I think so.  TCoT is a pretty close second though.  Its highs are higher, but it's a little bit inconsistent.

Repentance would be my third choice.

TCOT is the only song out of those that is in my top 10, so the choice was fairly simple.

For me it's Wither, but TCOT, TMOLS and ITPOE1 were fairly close.

My vote as well.  When I evaluate a song, lyrics are important.  That takes a song to the next level.  TCoT's mediocre lyrics squash it from the running in my eyes.

What's wrong with Forsaken's chorus?

I really like Forsaken, probably my 2nd or 3rd favourite on SC.
