I'm sure this has been done before, probably a billion times. But as far as I am aware, it hasn't been done lately, and I'm curious.

What is your favorite part (/track/movement) of the song?

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #1 on:** June 22, 2012, 01:31:23 AM »

Please give me an "all of dems!" option.

You're asking me to choose my favourite child (and there aren't even any redheads to make the choice easier). I have never even listened to it as anything but one song.

About To Crash, very closely followed by Solitary Shell.

Goodnight Kiss, then About To Crash. Least favourite, Solitary Shell.

theseoafs · « **Reply #6 on:** June 22, 2012, 01:38:19 AM »

Oh my god such a hard decision

I settled on About to Crash (reprise).

Thank you sir!

I was only half serious, but it's nice to not have to disappoint all of my other children.

You're right, though, it is a valid option and it should be there.

For the record, I was honestly originally going to type a ninth poll option: "'The whole song' AKA the BlobVanDam option". I left it out only because I thought it might be rude to single you out.

That's awesome to hear! That track doesn't get nearly enough praise.

Losing Time and Goodnight Kiss. Voted for Losing Time.

DebraKadabra · « **Reply #10 on:** June 22, 2012, 02:37:28 AM »

Solitary Shell

Scorpion · « **Reply #11 on:** June 22, 2012, 03:57:02 AM »

Goodnight Kiss.

Mladen · « **Reply #12 on:** June 22, 2012, 04:29:02 AM »

I actually went with War inside my head. I like all of them, though.

Elite · « **Reply #13 on:** June 22, 2012, 04:37:39 AM »

Goodnight Kiss + Solitary Shell. I went with the latter,

This is the correct answer.

GasparXR · « **Reply #15 on:** June 22, 2012, 05:56:55 AM »

Hard to choose, but I went with About to Crash. That guitar solo is killer. <3

jsem · « **Reply #16 on:** June 22, 2012, 06:15:56 AM »

Solitary Shell. Ranked 3rd of all DT songs in and of itself.

Kwyjibo · « **Reply #17 on:** June 22, 2012, 07:50:31 AM »

Impossible to chose, but if you want only one answer than it has to be The Test That Stumped Them All, closely followed by the rest. The only one I could do without is the overture. It makes sense in the great scheme of things but as a single track I find it rather meh.

Interesting, I skip Goodnight Kiss every single time. Solitary Shell is my favorite.

Implode · « **Reply #19 on:** June 22, 2012, 08:11:47 AM »

About to Crash and its reprise are my favorite movements with Solitary Shell a close second. At the same time, I don't like splitting them up.

Solitary Shell

No contest. The mix of beautiful melodies, touching lyrics and fantastic prog instrumental is just way too good.

SeRoX · « **Reply #21 on:** June 22, 2012, 09:29:10 AM »

Grand Finale.

wolven74 · « **Reply #22 on:** June 22, 2012, 10:05:18 AM »

I love all of it, but if I had to winnow it down, I'd say the part that grabs me and gets me pumped most often is the About to Crash reprise. That opening riff always puts a smile on my face. After that, my favorites are Solitary Shell and Goodnight Kiss. They were both a surprise because they went in a directions I didn't expect.

Goodnight Kiss is the worst part for me though. It's what drags the whole thing down. I know it's an intense 40 minutes and they needed a little break in the middle of it. I just didn't think Goodnight Kiss was that good... It was an Only Okay Night Kiss.

if i had to choose it would probably be about to crash (reprise). it such a nice consolidated dose of pure DT to me

Adami · « **Reply #29 on:** June 22, 2012, 11:27:40 AM »

Goodnight Kiss.

Also, I was listening to Wagner earlier and noticed how much he obviously influenced Jordan on the overture of this song.

Breaking All Illusions · « **Reply #30 on:** June 22, 2012, 11:36:29 AM »

About To Crash, The Test That Stumped Them All, Solitary Shell

TheGreatPretender · « **Reply #31 on:** June 22, 2012, 11:37:23 AM »

Another thing I don't like about Goodnight Kiss is the lyrics. I mean, overall they're nice, and the sentiment is nice. But good god, I DO NOT WANT to hear James LaBrie sing, "I'm just a poor girl".

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #32 on:** June 22, 2012, 02:07:56 PM »

About To Crash (Reprise)

That's just a killer riff.

Syzzle · « **Reply #33 on:** June 22, 2012, 03:51:21 PM »

Voted for Solitary Shell before I saw the option for all of them.

KISS 76 · « **Reply #34 on:** June 22, 2012, 04:33:57 PM »

My favorite part of the opus is that by the end of it I'm ready to play it again!
