My favourite is To Live Is to Die, then Orion, but Ktulu is a close third.



Suicide & Redemption is ok, nowhere near as good as those I mentioned. Does seem kind of thrown on to try and hark back to the earlier instrumentals.

yeah. Ktulu just has a magic that the others don't seem to possess.

I think it's probably the most atmospheric of all the band's instrumentals.

My favorite is To Live is to Die because of the meaning that it has towards Cliff, but musically Orion is the one.

Ironically, Burton wrote the majority of Orion.This Message Edited On 01.18.09

^ Not when compared to ,say, For Whom the Bell Tolls or Creeping Death. Then its easily one of the album's weaker tracks.

I don't know if I'm the only one, but I like Escape. Not so much Trapped Under Ice, but Escape is different than the rest of the album. Sure, it's not the best song, but it's not the worst, either.

^ Escape is terrible, its a filler track, only the solo is really any good. That said this album aged quite well, better than I did and I'm only four years younger than it.

Actually its a sub-par track between one okay song and one awesome song. Easily the weakest song on the album,

I think Escape is a pretty good track. It's clearly the odd one out, but it's simple and catchy.

Isn't this is your favourite album? Its hard to dislike any song on your favourite album, I know (Master of Puppets is flawless in my eyes). To each his own. You're right, it is simple and catchy, but I just really don't dig it nearly as much as I do the other tracks.
