Eh, 6:00 I guess. Love all songs on here though.

How could anyone dislike the first two tracks on this album? They don't make 'em like that anymore.

[425]

Lifting Shadows off a Dream still.

[HOF]

Voted The Mirror, though I think it's a pretty cool song. Now I'm worried about all the votes for 6:00 which might be my favorite DT song.

Well, I don't dislike anything on this album, it's just that I have to pick something.

Is there some sort of large anti-CIAW constituency I wasn't previously aware of? This is surprising () for a song that I put around 4th on the album.

I didn't vote against it, but I've certainly never thought of it as one of the best on the album.

[Dublagent66]

It's better than 6:00.  Don't think I've ever voted for 6:00 this many times.

There was a thread from 2018 where it became very evident that opinions about Awake are all over the map.

There's another one from 2009 that got resurrected most recently in 2018 that addressed that very subject.

My impression is that some DT fans view it as in the same vein as You Not Me (i.e. too commercial). I always thought it was a really strong song personally.

This is one of the Dream Theater songs that just never clicked. I still think Awake is their best album, but Caught in a Web is definitely the weakest song here.

I think that is a faulty impression.  CIAW is still a decent song.  It is not like YNM in any way.

It’s not, but I’m saying I’ve seen it characterized that way.
