The best section on FII
« on: November 20, 2013, 08:45:12 PM »
0:00-2:19 of Trial of Tears. The entire intro before the first verse.  :hefdaddy So gorgeous.

Other (very close) contenders are The Wasteland section of TOT, and the guitar solo of LIIT.

So many to choose from!

But I'll definitely second the outro of Hell's Kitchen and the wasteland section of ToT, plus the keyboard solo section.

I'll also throw in the guitar solo for Take Away My Pain, and the guitar solo of Peruvian Skies.



And the chorus of YNM!  :hefdaddy :hefdaddy

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

Lines in the Sand Guitar solo + "We fabricate our demons" section.

Also the intro of LitS leading up to that awesome bass moment before the vocals kick in.

Wasteland definitely.

Also great are pretty much the all of Hell's Kitchen and most of LITS.

Gotta go with either the ending of Hell's Kitchen/intro to Lines in the Sand, or, of course, the last 6-7 minutes of Trial of Tears (both the guitar and key solos plus The Wasteland mellow vocal section).

Yes it is. I use ToT as an opening track in my own custom made FII playlist.

Hell's Kitchen + Lines in the Sand + Take Away My Pain.

I just love them all. I've always been in love with TAMP, I know that many of you here just don't seem to like it, but it's so nostalgic and... heartfelt. His final scene, the actor bows... I cry my heart out when I hear it. I just love it. I'm smiling sadly every time people say FII is a major let down... it does have its weaknesses, but overall I think it's an unbelievable album. One of the most heartmoving works DT has ever done.

"Hidden by disguise" section of ToT. One of my favorite JLB moments ever and Derek's Hammond cutting through in the second part of the verse just knocks it out, above and beyond.


Sycsa is perhaps the most brilliant and insightful man I have ever encountered.

To me, the "best" section is the one which really moves me; which gives me goosebumps. By this criterion, the honour must go to the final key-change-ified chorus of Anna Lee.

the last verses of Lines in the Sand, I'd say. The way they build up so well. Wish they'd kept the "baptized" section from the demo there, that would've made it even more epic.

LITS is just spectacular!  Listened to it last night.

Always get goosebumps when James jumps up into the higher register on the verses after the first chorus.

Oh indeed. I like both versions to be honest, the official one for doug pinnick and the bootleg for the baptized section - i always get chills when i hear that play.

TAMP is definitely a strong and touching song to me. Honestly besides a few flops I think FII was a strong album, and a really great bootleg (save for a few things)

I was actually going to put this in the OP, but it's so controversial. I love NM though.

The first song is the best part, because it is so bad. With that start, it makes the rest of the album sounds much better than it actually is.

The entirety of Lines in the Sand, but more specifically the guitar solo. Probably my favourite DT song overall and definitely my joint-first favourite guitar solo in the world  :heart

A few come to mind.

Peruvian Skies solo, LITS solo.
Hell's Kitchen solo + ending.
Trial of Tears intro and first verse.

Actually these songs are the only ones I like from the album  ;D

Basically the entire second half of ToT. Obviously, the whole thing is incredible, but for me it just builds to indescribable levels of awesome from around 5.05 onwards.

I actually think the guitar solo of ToT is one of the weaker sections, and not one of JP's better solos, even for the album.
The unison/tradeoff section of JLMB is cool though. :tup A much underrated song overall.

Derek's solo section in ToT; not only for the solo itself, but for the great rhythm section going on underneath it. JM's bass is so gnarly, and JP gets kind of funky for a bit.

FII is an absolute classic DT album to my ears. Such a great record.
