Where did Prelude end up at?
Excellent question!
The rest of the top 15 Arch era songs:
14T. Guardian (408 points) (my rank - 18)
32. The Apparition (309 points) (my rank - 14)
49T. Exodus (220 points) (my rank - 26)
56. Epitaph (188 points) (my rank - 45) - My opinion about this song and Exodus is the opposite of that of jammindude. I heard Epitaph first and really like it, but I feel like Exodus was an improvement on the existing model.
57. Traveler in Time (186 points) (my rank - 15) - This was the first Arch song I ever heard. It remains my all time favorite Arch song, and I was the high ranker (it was on 8 lists). I was very disappointed that it didn't make the top 50.
62. Prelude to Ruin (161 points) (my rank - somewhere in the 51-60 range) - Here you go, Ben! Prelude was included on 9 lists and had one top 10 finish. It's a solid song, but I think it's eclipsed by at least four other songs on ATG.
63. Giant's Lore (Heart of Winter) (160 points) (my rank - 27) - This is another really great song from ATG and might be my favorite Arch lyric. I feel like it may have been inspired by To Kill a Mockingbird.
70T. Damnation (115 points) (my rank - just missed the top 50) - They played this song the first time I saw them live, and I remember asking people about it and being very excited to find and buy Night on Brocken. Best song on the debut by a LONG shot.
73. Valley of the Dolls (112 points) (my rank - NR) - Solid song, but probably my least favorite on ATG.
74. Fata Morgana (104 points) (my rank - 30) - I absolutely love this song. They opened with this song the first time I saw Fates live (after a tape intro of At Fates Hands.
82. Kyrie Eleison (65 points) (my rank - NR)
83. Pirates of the Underground (64 points) (my rank - NR)
84. The Sorceress (58 points) (my rank - NR)
85T. Buried Alive (55 points) (my rank - NR)
90. Orphan Gypsy (46 points) (my rank - NR)
