Track 3, "The Ancient", was always a bit boring for me. I love long albums, and I love epics, and this album is one of my favorites, but this track was always a bit less-exciting for me than the others.
"Ritual" is always a fun one to listen to, it's got a very "final" feeling to it that really closes out the album in a great and spectacular fashion, especially with the drum-buildup in the middle to a beautiful climax. The whole piece is just gorgeous over-all.
