My favourite is the title track, just for that simply beautiful violin that features.

I love the violin/guitar parts in the title track. Still second to the first song though.

Yeah, the title track is awesome as well. Ya'll really think the opener is the best song? Is it aided by the nature of it's impact being the first track? Honest questions . Opinions, when illuminated and elaborated upon, are perhaps the greatest form of enlightenment. Of course really this whole album is amazing, I love Fall and A Day By the Lake and Alone I Stand in Fires about as much as anything else here. It's a testament to this album's sheer awesomeness that even the songs that are likely "better" don't overshadow the other tracks, at least imo.



btw, this is close to a 5 for me and I've only listened to it twice This Message Edited On 02.06.08

Not sure what my favorite is, either And the Mirror Cracked, or one of the two 15 minute songs.



I love the outro to The Sleep of Restless Hours a fuckload though, maybe my favorite outro ever.



Im gonna listen to this again after im done with Kezia, these posts are making me want to.

The first track is my least favourite tbh, I don't see why everybody loves it so much.

Not to say it is a bad song, quite the contrary, it's a f'ing amazing song, but the others are more amazing.

Every one seems to love it but my least favourite is the last one. I find it just slightly too long. Still a great song though.

Isn't it wonderful that we're debating, not whether any of these songs are in fact awesome, but the level of that awesomeness. It's like, "Well, the first track is like a 4.972, and the title track is like a 4.971 so..." lol

The last track was my fav, but I'm kinda feeling what Scream is saying in that it's a bit too long. I think the title track is my fav...maybe...it's so hard to decide! lolThis Message Edited On 02.07.08

I think i've finally figured this out for myself
...And The Mirror Cracked
Back To Times Of Splendor
Alone I Stand In Fires
Fall tied with A Day By The Lake
The Sleep Of Restless hours

All songs are awesome, it was extremely close. IMO like i've said The Sleep Of Restless Hours is just a bit too long for its own good. Awesome cd.

^^^Super agree. For me, as of now, I'd say it's...

Back to Times of Splendor

The Sleep of Restless Hours

Alone I Stand in Fires

...And the Mirror Cracked

A Day By the Lake

Fall



I think lol...but this is like saying I like haagen dazs chocolate ice cream with oreo crunchies better than haagen dazs chocolate ice cream with chocolate syrup. It's all so freakin good. Fall is an amazing song, it's place as last on this list is deceptive.

If someone asked me what I thought the best track on the album was though, I'd have to say Back to times of Restless hours, and the mirror that stands alone in fall by the lake lolThis Message Edited On 02.15.08

Fuck it. I can't deny it anymore. This album is, for all intents and purposes, perfect. Joining my 5's.

This is pretty freaking amazing. Listened to it a few times, might get a 5 soon. Anyone who gives it a 5 next will make this equal to BwP in rating

Maybe we shouldn't do that, some of them Opeth fanboys might come down here and give 1's to the album just to slap us down lol.

Don't tell 'em I said that...

I upped my rating to a 5 but this didn't happen

Aww well, this deserves the 5 anyway. The Sleep Of Restless Hours is growing on me more now(even though i still think its the weakest song on the album)
