1. In the Presence of Enemies, Pt. I (only awesome song on the album)

2. Repentance (nice song, I don't get all the hate for the second part, it's still one of the best moments of the albums imo)

3. The Ministry of Lost Souls (great but wanders way too much imo)

4. In the Presence of Enemies, Pt. II (pointless wankery and stupid lyrics)

5. Forsaken (the main riff is actually really cool, but the whole thing gets way too cheesy)

6. Prophets of War (even worse than Build Me Up)

7. The Dark Eternal Night (most pointless song ever but has like one or two decent moments)

8. Constant Motion (uninspired, unoriginal, probably among my 5 least favorite DT songs)

Constant motion has those awesome instrumental sections and the chorus isn't that bad. Forsaken and prophets of war are pretty cheesy though

Constant Motion to me has simply nothing to offer. It has the typical SC formula: bad verse, okay chorus, meaningless and generic instrumental sections. That's what bugs me so much about this whole album, there's just nothing interesting and new to DT

"Focus here, focus there" bit where LaBrie and Portnoy trade vocals is pretty cool

The only shitty thing about Constant Motion is the Hetfield vocals.



And yes, that's enough to bring it down a lot.

I have to admit I pretty much enjoy every part of that song that doesn't have the "singing"

It was ok, not great. The gimmicky ragtime piano bit in Dark Eternal Night is cool though
