I personally LOVE the song and can't understand why so many people don't like it.

Please explain?

Oh, and no random JM poll option this time.

I like it, although the lyrics are a little abstract for my tastes.

Who hates Innocence Faded?

Since when do people not enjoy IF?

Would be the best song on Awake if it wasn't for Scarred.

THE CHILD WILL CRAWL TO FIND YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

There are no bad songs on I&W, Awake and ACOS.

Imho.

Scarred will consume your soul and tear it apart.

I dig it. Has some good riffs and melody lines. Not my favorite track, but far from the bottom of the barrel. I really dig it on Score.

Fuzzboy · « **Reply #11 on:** February 20, 2011, 06:18:42 PM »

Yay I'm the first to not like it! I don't hate it at all though.

I don't think the most overrated song in DT history can do that.

Any mention of the last 3 tracks off Awake needs to be banned. This is what I've observed in my time here.

How could you not, it has one of the best JLB live moments in recent DT history. NOT INTENDING TO WAAAAAAAAND.

Exodus · « **Reply #20 on:** February 20, 2011, 07:57:03 PM »

I love it as well. JLB's vocals are a standout, and the instrumental outro is one of the bands best.

j · « **Reply #21 on:** February 20, 2011, 08:08:35 PM »

I didn't know anyone hated it. It has a great outro solo and some crazy vocals.

I will say that I read somewhere that somebody (accurately IMO) described the intro as sounding like the intro to an '80s family sitcom, and I haven't been able to shake that ever since.

It's middle of the road for me as far as Awake is concerned. It's neither one of the best nor one of the worst on the album. It's just there, and I like it. I listen to it when I listen to the whole album, but I never have a desire to listen to just that song by itself.

7thHanyou · « **Reply #28 on:** February 20, 2011, 09:02:33 PM »

It's my favorite song on Awake because it's got that Images and Words vibe. I think highly of Awake, so that's saying something.

To answer a question asked by a lot of people here, I've seen it criticized as very "hair metallish" in contrast to the darker vibe of Awake. I sort of get that, but I wonder if those same people have a problem with songs like Surrounded.

kiwiclapton · « **Reply #29 on:** February 20, 2011, 09:13:37 PM »

I kinda like it $:-\$

commanderbob · « **Reply #30 on:** February 20, 2011, 09:24:36 PM »

My take:

1) Great music
2) James' "crying drunken wailing" parts strewn in from the second verse on almost ruin it.
3) "the faithful liver wing"
4) "what is if time dissapears"
5) Transcendent outro.

I've always imagined James with a microphone and a bottle of whiskey singing the second part of this song. Still a good song. Especially the outro.

That's actually my favorite part of the song. Great song.
