yeah but repentance doesn't have that beauty that ballads often focus on, it's just a gloomy riff going on and on and on and on

Both the soft songs on Six Degrees disc 1 are great.

Misunderstood isn't a ballad, Disappear is. And the first half of Repentance is easily their best ballad since Scenes

It's a solo that Petrucci wrote and played backwards. I dunno, it doesn't come off as great or anything to me.



As cheesy as it is, I think The Answer Lies Within is a great ballad, the second half lets it down a bit though.

The Octavarium ballads aren't as abysmal as people make them out to be, they're about the same level as Beneath the Surface and Far From Heaven on here. Calming and decent

yeah, it's just the "You're gonna shiiiiiiiiiine" bit that all of sudden ruins the song. The movement after the first 5 minutes in the t/t is also really good

Agreed. ACOS is good, but not as good as octavarium t/t. I'd that most of their ballads are good. Obviously ones like Along for the Ride and Wither, if that counts have awful lyrics. The majority of them are good though, like Spacedyevest, Wait For Sleep, Vacant, Anna Lee. hmmm tempted to go relive my 14 year old DT fantasies now

You're kidding right?

A Change of Seasons is leagues ahead of Octavarium (song).
