1. Pale Blue Dot. Funny thing about this one; the first several listens it was way down the list, possibly even my least favourite on the album. I couldn't make head nor tail of it, it sounded like the Dance of Eternity with vocals. I found it to be almost unbearably 'dense' in ideas and complexity, like 15 minutes' worth of ideas had been squashed into 8 minutes. But having listened to it many more times (each one revealing more of the structure and the melodic material they're working with), I've come to adore it. It's powerful and moving, and the instrumental section is as awe-inspiring as the image and the words (!) that inspired the song.
2. At Wit's End. Begins like Liquid Tension Experiment (Universal Mind), ends like only JP can end a song.
3. Barstool Warrior. The most 'classic' DT song on the album. Never a dull moment, one great idea after the next.
On the whole I love the album. Every song has its own feel, nothing here sounds forced or repetitive.
