Too hard to do a track by track order.  In general, this is how I feel:

Favorites:
Scarred
Lifting Shadows Off a Dream
Voices

Really really awesome:
6:00
Caught in a Web
Erotomania
The Mirror
Lie
Space Dye Vest

Really awesome:
Innocence Faded
The Silent Man

For the record....even though I love Lifting Shadows, the live version from the Xmas CD just takes it to whole new level. That intro is so perfect. It’s Lifting Shadows and Eve had a baby.

It's fantastic to see almost everybody put Scarred in the top 3.

Can we get Blob in this thread please? :biggrin:

We already know what Blob would say about Scarred: :trainwreck:

Yeah, but Blob is wrong because Scarred is a top 15 DT song.

I've never really liked Awake tbh. Literally none of these songs would be in my DT Top 25 atm, and only the Top 3-5ish would be in my Top 50.

So interesting to see all the variations.  I haven't listened to the album in ages, but I did listen to it for about 4 hrs a day every day for a few years, so that's why some lyrics and pieces of the music come back to me immediately when I see a title.

I wish there was a way to make this a poll of some sort--then you could see the rankings with much more data to analyze.
