BMUBMD - sometimes

This is the Life - sometimes

Beneath the Surface - I skip this track almost all the time. I don't like this song so I usually end the album on Breaking All Illusions.

The rest I never skip.

I was really surprised by BMUBMD being the big skip track; that's one of my favorite tracks, no question.

Build Me Up Break Me Down. In my opinion it is the second worst song they have ever written. Just barely any better than A Rite of Passage and not even as good as You Not Me. I'm so glad that they weren't playing it when I went to see them.

I don't listen to it at all, so technically I skip everything, but back when I did listen to it, I'd skip Outcry, Beneath the Surface, and sometimes FFH. I actually rarely skipped BMUBMD. Sure it's no Metropolis, but it's not bad.

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

None, in fact I never normally skip tracks.
I take an album in it's entirety, with the good things and the not so good things.

None, I rarely skip tracks on albums. I don't even skip You Not Me on FII, which is my least favourite DT song.

BMU,BMD. I should sometime listen to James LaBrie's Alone instead of it, they're a bit similar, but Alone is infinitely better.

BMUBMD about 50% of the time
FFH every time

BMUBMD everytime
OTBOA about 50% of the time.

The rest of the album is unskippable!

I skip the ballads.  I don't care for James's voice all that much, and the ballads are just too much.

I really enjoy just listening to this album from start to finish so I picked none. If I HAD to pick a song then it would be Far From Heaven. However the album is very consistent compared to SC and BC&SL in my opinion.

Pretty easily This Is the Life. I find the lyrics very cheesy and, as a girl who LOVES great lyrics, I find them hard to overlook. It's not very inspirational for me, so I normally skip it. Not that it's a bad song...

Far From Heaven just seems like a jam from JR that JLB wrote lyrics over.

At least Beneath The Surface has an awesome keyboard solo and is structured.

Seriously?  I always got the impression that FFH was remarkably traditional, structurally.

I mean it's not totally unstructured, it just SOUNDS to me like an improvised jam that has lyrics over, even though it obviously isn't.

Almost all the times now that I end up listening to it are when I'm running at the gym. So I tend to skip the ballads even though I like them. At those times, I'm more in the mood for stuff that'll keep me pumped up and such.

Otherwise, I'd leave it alone.

It depends on the drive.  If I have a long drive I don't skip but if it's a short distance it's BMUBMD.

To me, FFH is a part of BAI, just like Wait for Sleep and Learning to live or Vacant and Stream of Consciousness. I never listen to one without the other, it would feel like missing the first few minutes of a song.

Only Far from Heaven for me. I don't agree with it being connected to BAI, they are completely different form each other. Wait for Sleep and LTL have a much stronger connection.

Yea I see no connection between FFH and BAI. Someone said once that they share a chord progression........cool I guess, though I still can't hear it. And oddly enough of all of the transitions on the album, the one between those two songs is probably one of the weakest.

None. When I listen to the album, I listen all the way through, and I really enjoy it all the way through. But this is an album where I've been more inclined to just pick a song I feel like listening to and just listen to that one song at any given moment.
