Barstool's group, just narrowly above At Wit's End's group.

Bridges in the Sky and Breaking All Illusions are awesome but suffer from "lesser" pairings (relatively speaking...)

Wicked tough call.

Bridges and Enemy are great together but PBD is probably my least favorite from the new album.
Group 2 is pretty solid, and only lost by a hair.
Group 3 are all middle of the road songs.
Group 5 are all middle of the road songs.

Group 4 is SOLID. Barstool is one of the better songs on the new album, Outcry is solid, and Bigger Picture is the best track on S/T

I don't want MP playing with DT unless they were making a drummer change. If they let MM go and bring back MP, then fine, but no guest appearance please.
WELP.

Pretty easy for me - group 1. All three songs are probably in my top couple tracks of each album.

I'd say the Outcry/Bigger Picture group, even if it has BW which I'm not a fan of.  The AWE/OtBoA group is a close second

I went with #3.  At Wit's End and Behind the Veil are my favorites from their respective albums, and OTBOA ain't bad either.

Group #5 is a travesty. Why, Kev, why?

Option 5 for me. Doesn't matter what the other two songs are--would have taken whatever option included Breaking All Illusions, a top 3 overall DT song for me.

You've managed to group some of my favorites with my least favorites.

So I had to settle on average

Not including DOT songs (which I haven't heard enough yet), the best song in the poll is BAI.  BITS and Outcry are probably next, followed by TLG, so I went with option #5.

This is tough but I went with Barstool Warrior, Outcry & The Bigger Picture, every other option is two songs I like and one I don't but I like all three of these.

That was hard. Not one clear runaway winner. No clears loser either

Fall into the Light, Beneath the Surface & Surrender to Reason.

Very close second: Barstool Warrior, Outcry & The Bigger Picture

He DT12 songs, while good, brought down each grouping.

I went for option 5, simply because there are 3 songs I know I wouldn’t skip. Option 4 was very close too, slightly held back by TBP for me...

Option 4. BW is lovely and TBP is a top Tier DT song.

Yeah, let's go for option 4. Option 1 is a close second though. And the option with Out of Reach would be up there too if not for Out of Reach, which is probably my least favourite song on the new album.

Options 1, 3 and 4 were REALLY close, but I went with 1 in the end. Lots of good options here, you just HAVE to make it challenging for us, huh? :rollin
