Awake vs. Falling Into Infinity
« on: July 12, 2012, 09:50:24 PM »
This should be an interesting poll.


I'm completely on the side of FII. It has better songs, better production, better flow, better everything except vocals - but even then, the vocals are pretty good.

Well, Awake is the only album that all songs on it rock! Maybe not Space Dye-Vest but still. On the other hand, FII is unfairly underrated but it has many weak songs. But still awesome album though.

FII is great, but Awake is better.  Awake has nothing but killer song after killer song - no weak spots at all - while FII has You Not Me.  I rest my case. :hat

Awake by far. I don't think I've ever really even managed to get through all of FII in one listen-- though I do like it.

Hmmmm...this gives me an idea...

6:00 VS Just Let Me Breathe
Innocence Faded VS Hollow Years
Caught In A Web VS Peruvian Skies
Erotomania/Voices/The Silent Man VS Burning My Soul/Hell's Kitchen/Lines In The Sand
The Mirror VS New Millennium
Lie VS You Not Me
Lifting Shadows Off A Dream VS Take Away My Pain (Would've won had it been the Demo)
Scarred VS Trial Of Tears
Space-Dye Vest VS Anna Lee (TIE)

Unless anyone else can come up with better match-ups... half of them fell in to place, but the rest were harder to come up with.

Either way, I think I like Awake better as a WHOLE album, but there are some great songs on FII.

The Mirror
Lie
Lifting Shadows Off a Dream

I think almost every song on Falling Into Infinity is consistently really good. Whereas Awake has a few songs that stumble, like Erotomania and Space-Dye Vest. That being said, Awake's best songs are simply amazing, so my vote still goes to Awake.

6:00 VS Just Let Me Breathe
Innocence Faded VS Hollow Years
Caught In A Web VS Peruvian Skies
Erotomania/Voices/The Silent Man VS Burning My Soul/Hell's Kitchen/Lines In The Sand
The Mirror VS New Millennium
Lie VS You Not Me
Lifting Shadows Off A Dream VS Take Away My Pain
Scarred VS Trial Of Tears
Space-Dye Vest (- the samples) VS Anna Lee

Haha if the poll was A Mind Beside Itself VS. entire Falling Into Infinity I would choose AMBI, hell if it was just Voices against FII I would choose Voices without thinking twice.
I can listen to Hell's Kitchen every now and then but nothing else from FII.

Both are great- but Awake is farking incredible. With Kevin Moore's departure, DT lost something intangible they were never able to get back. Falling Into Infinity is a great record, but drifted from DT's strengths, and was a bit too commercial due to Kevin Shirley, etc.

Two offenses of "New Millenium" already. Yikes!

Awake is so much more consistent from start to finish. FII, while having the best individual song from both records (Trial of Tears), also has some of the worst songs in the entire catalog (Burning My Soul, Just Let Me Breathe, You Not Me)

Same here. Awake is one hell of an album, FII is very good (with a few exceptional songs), but not to that extent.

Obviously this poll is going to be a landslide, but for me FII is miles better, not even a contest. FII is my 4th favourite, Awake is about my 10th.
Awake is good up until Lie, then takes a nosedive into DT's longest solid waste of CD space. FII has a few stumbles, but overall it's a much more stronger album, much more energetic, much more emotional, much better production, much more variety, I just prefer it in every single conceivable way.
And the best of FII thoroughly beats the best of Awake (imo). And the low points of FII are still worlds better than the ultra low points of Awake for me.
Only King could mis-spell a LETTER.
Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

This, though I'm kind of indifferent towards "You Not Me". It's not the brightest thing in the lot but I don't downright hate the song like most people seem to. DT has written way worse songs throughout its career... Raw Dog anyone?  ;)
