Best on I&W is Metropolis, which also happens to be their all-time best song imo

@ChoccyPhilly: Would be something like that I guess:

1. A Change of Seasons (forgot that song on my previous comment btw)

2. Metropolis Pt. 1

3. Octavarium

4. Raise the Knife

5. Breaking All Illusions



Really hard to do tbh, Learning to Live, The Count of Tuscany, In the Name of God, Home and a lot of

others all deserve honorable mentions

I'd have Finally Free in mine, and I think that's pretty under appreciated

"I'd have Finally Free in mine, and I think that's pretty under appreciated"

For good reason, because it's dreadful. Also fuck yes Artuma for Space-Dye Vest :]

Finally Free is epic! The One Last Time reprise is beautiful and everything about it just oozes everything that DT is good for

Finally Free is pretty cool as an ending to the album imo, but if you take out of the context it's just a good song, not really underrated imo. And The One Last Time reprise is great but the transition is reallly meh

Sorry Choccy but I despise Finally Free, it's my most hated DT track (mainly because on what album it's on and it's after one of my top 5 DT songs). Biggest criticism I have of the album.

Why would it be a bad thing if it follows Spirit Carries On?

@Choccy: The thing that pisses me off the most is that the album could have had such a noble ending, having much a bombastic and cheesy album in scope end of a touching, emotional note about how she's real in his heart and will live on forever, despite the tragedy. What did they do instead? Give an extra 10 mins to an album which needed to be trimmed a tiny bit anyway with a cancerous slog. Now it ends with awfully corny lyrics, trying to be 'dramatic' with sound effects at the end and just meandering, retracing past messages and take too long to get it's point across. The song isn't intresting for me to focus on musically since it's James in centre stage where these problems become more evident. It's the polar opposite of the previous track (and far more fitting ender), in quality and message. I get the point of the track but the excution is so botched I wish it was just cut.
