The Big 4
« on: November 14, 2014, 12:03:09 PM »
An extension of the other thread, I want to know what your big 4 are?

 The order was tough for me. Never the less this is how I rank my big 4.


1. Octavarium
2. Illumination Theory
3. Count of Tuscany
4. A Change of Seasons

Yeah, since you only listed epics. So is this my top 4 DT songs or top 4 DT epics or just rank those 4 songs?

I'll go with "top 4 songs longer than 12 minutes."

1. Octavarium
2. Lines in the Sand
3. A Change of Seasons
4. Breaking All Illusions

(If I could add 2 more, I would put TCOT and ITNOG.)

That thread with the other stuff in it.


Seriously though the thread that asks for your one masterpiece.

The big 4 can be whatever ever 4 songs you want in this thread, but epics are always my favorites so those are my choices.

Is "Big 4" the same as "Top 4"? If so, then....

In no order:

1. Octavarium
2. Finally Free
3. Breaking All Illusions
4. Home

To me, "Big 4" has a bit of a different connotation than Top 4. So if they are indeed different things, then:

1. Octavarium
2. Finally Free
3. Breaking All Illusions
4. The Great Debate

Is this just a top 4? I'd probably have something like-

Six Degrees
The Glass Prison
Take The Time
Blind Faith / ITNOG

It's so hard to rank them at that level. They're so damn good.

The Killing Hand has the most vocally sour note in DT history so being a vocalist I can't get past it.
Other than that, quality song.
