Love them all, although Home is overrated imo.

Well, today I accomplished a long time goal of mine, and Bridges in the Sky was playing when I did it. So at the moment, BITS is essentially my favorite song in the universe. And I do believe it wins in terms of chorus alone -- one of the best choruses Dream Theater have ever done.

But, trying to look at it objectively... it's probably at the bottom of these three. Which isn't to say anything negative about it. Home and The Glass Prison are just really amazing songs.

Wow, this is an unfair poll, if I ever saw one!!

I love Home, it's my favourite song on SFAM,
But... I love Bridges in The Sky so much, too...

Glass Prison is probably one of my least favourite DT tracks, apart from everything before the vocals come in.

I'd rank them...

1. Home
2. Bridg-

uh...
No, wait...

1. Bridges In Th-

....

Okay, for real

1. Home
2. Bridges In The Sky
3. The Glass Prison

That was tough.

Wow, I'm a bit surprised by those numbers. For me, Home wins... Easy.

Home
Bridges In The Sky (great song, but it will take a little more to beat my favorite song from SFAM)

The Glass Prison (frankly, I think this is DT's most overrated song)

Banny · « **Reply #10 on:** September 22, 2011, 10:03:46 PM »

OH SHIT. I've never been stumped in a thread like this.

BITS hasn't stood the test of time yet, but I can tell it will.
TGP is my favourite song in the entire AA snoozer.
Home is magnificent and was maybe one of the last songs I "got" on SFAM, causing it to stand out.

I'll have to go with:

1. The Glass Prison
2. Home
3. Bridges In The Sky

**#2 and 3 will probably change when they play this in Toronto in a few weeks. In fact after seeing it live, it'll probably jump up to #1, bumping TGP to #2, but that's a post for the future.

I thought this would be tough, but it really wasn't once I started typing. I hold both Home and The Glass Prison in such high regard that it was always going to be BITS on the bottom despite how much I actually like the song (favorite off the new album aswell). It was a little harder deciding the order of Home and TGP, but as much as I like TGP I think I consider Home as more of a favorite.

Vajra · « **Reply #13 on:** September 22, 2011, 10:17:12 PM »

Hmm, Bridges is winning. That's always a good sign that the band has done a good job with this album.

Metrovarium · « **Reply #14 on:** September 22, 2011, 10:20:15 PM »

1. The Glass Prison
2. BITS
3. Home

The first two are top 15 songs. Home is great as well, just not as amazing.

jammindude · « **Reply #15 on:** September 22, 2011, 10:31:15 PM »

The Glass Prison is one of my all time favorites.

Bridges in the Sky is fantastic, but still growing on me.

I always thought that Home was the one that was highly and enormously over rated. Ironically, I have the same description for Home that I criticize other people for making about other DT songs. It's a great riff, but its a bit overlong. I like the single edit better.

energythief · « **Reply #16 on:** September 22, 2011, 10:43:45 PM »

I don't consider the three songs to have much similarity at all, so I'm not sure what you're trying to get across in this poll. However, as I cannot resist voting in polls...

1. Home (by far and away my #1 DT song, so no contest here)

2. Bridges in the Sky

3. The Glass Prison

As said in the question... "three of the most popular modern heavy songs"

1. Home
1. Bridges in the Sky

Can't possibly choose. All three are amazing.

Or a sign that the album is less than 2 weeks old.

Hopefully people still feel the same in two years.

This is def. a tough pick for me. I'm going with The Glass Prison though

Cranky · « **Reply #21 on:** September 22, 2011, 11:10:47 PM »

Hey guys, I take back what I said, I enjoy The Glass Prison a lot more than I remember.

2. Home

lol. Bridges in the Sky

Jamariquay · « **Reply #23 on:** September 22, 2011, 11:13:12 PM »

Interesting. I definitely get similar vibes from all three songs. Epic progressive metal. Home and BITS also have Middle-Eastern-ish flourishes used to similar effect. The Glass Prison does not (that I can think of, at least), but makes up for it by being awesome.

1. The Glass Prison
2. Bridges In The Sky
3. Home

Very close contest though. I would argue that you could place at least a few tracks from Train Of Thought here as well, though I'm hard pressed to narrow it down to one. The Dark Eternal Night is a little too goofy to fit in perfectly here. A Nightmare To Remember should come close in theory, though I'd argue that it's execution is.... less than stellar, and certainly a par below these three.

Chimpi · « **Reply #24 on:** September 22, 2011, 11:19:33 PM »

I agree with all of the other correct choices:

1. The Glass Prison
2. Bridges In The Sky
3. Home

All 3 of which being superb songs.

jammindude · « **Reply #25 on:** September 22, 2011, 11:35:06 PM »

I'm actually really surprised. I thought I was in the minority in thinking Home was over rated.

This calls for more pandas....

...and a pimp...

Glass Prison was cool at first but it just hasn't lasted with me, as well as the rest of the AA suite.

This! Can't decide between Home and BITS (quite possibly my favorite two DT songs ever), but TGP is one of my least favorite Dream Theater songs.

This. I know Home would be slightly above The Glass Prison, but I'm still having trouble with placing Bridges in the sky...

I don't think Bridges comes that close to either of these ones.
