But some of you guys are assuming they only wrote 6 tracks. Mike posted about starting track 6 more than a week ago, and then about working on another epic later that week. Those could be completely different songs.
Exactly. No need to jump to conclusions just yet. Let's wait to see what the tracklisting is first.
Hah I noticed that too. I incurred way too much brain damage thinking about this but I was on the bus and had some extra time to contemplate. I wondered if Pale Blue Dot should be on there given its epic nature. Yes, Viper King is the last song but it really is a bonus track so arguably understood to sit apart from the core vibe of the album just as the songs that follow ACOS sit apart. If anything I think PBD has much more of an epic vibe than a song like Trial of Tears-- song length being the only thing that appears to earn the latter this classification.
Breaking All Illusions is the 2nd to last song but just screams epic. Yes, I know that violates part of the post's criteria in a way that ACOS arguably does not. Just pointing out it is an epic and *almost* closes out the album.
Both PBD and BAI also came to mind, as did Scarred, which all seem to fit the same general criteria. With PBD, it's the end of the album proper, and with BAI and Scarred, they were kinda added almost as afterthoughts – not that they were, but you kinda get the feeling that they didn't quite fit within their respective albums, so they were tacked on to the end almost as if they were bonus tracks..
