Favourite Epic

[perfey]

It's been a while since we did this, what is your favourite?

Mine is currently shifting between ACOS, 6D and TCOT. But TCOT is still just as fresh and epic since I heard it last year, it's epic from the get go and it's transition between the different parts flows so well, even if it's 19 minutes it feels a lot shorter.

[Gadough]

If In The Name of God counts as an epic, then so should A Nightmare to Remember. Just saying.

Regardless, I choose Octavarium.

[glaurung]

Since when was A Mind Beside Itself an epic?

Anyways, I voted Octivarium.

[KevShmev]

Since when was A Mind Beside Itself an epic?

I think it is one of the most epics things they have ever done, whether it is a suite or a single song.

The song choices here a bit odd, though, for sure.  Several very important DT epics were left off.

[LCArenas]

OCTAVARIUM

With Six Degrees as a Really close second.

[Dcrupi]

Any other day, I would say Octavarium.

However, I just listened to the two Six Degrees CDs yesterday, and am now a JUNKIE for that stuff.  What an incredible album...  So currently, Six Degrees.

[Plasmastrike]

If AMBI is there, the 12-Step Suite should, as well.

Anyway, I seriously can't choose. DT is too damn good.

[moffatt]

Octavarium

[Marvellous G]

I picked Octavarium, but I think LtL is an epic.

[glaurung]

If AMBI is there, the 12-Step Suite should, as well.

I don't really think the 12-Step suite is that epic. It's just really  . I don't think AMBI should count as a whole but Voices is definitely epic.

[ScioPath]

Missing The Killing Hand too

[Mladen]

A Change of Seasons

[Adami]

A Change of Seasons

[icysk8r]

Octavarium owns all.  Followed by The Count. 
AMBI shouldn't be there.  12 step shouldn't be added.  Didn't we have this conversation many times? 

[ScioPath]

Octavarium owns all

except for

A Change of Seasons

[ACID_FOX]

Didn't we have this conversation many times? 

Octavarium's a concept album.

[tri.ad]

Not again...

[Zydar]

Six Degrees

[orcus116]

Easily A Change of Seasons.

[Sigz]

Easily A Change of Seasons.

[toro]

If you added TOT and AMBI, whers learning to live? Or the killin hand?

Anyways i don't really think TOT a an epic, so Octavarium is my choice(still, trial of tears is my favorite song ever.)

[nemesiskoen]

Octavarium is by far my favourite DT song/epic :-)

[ScioPath]

well TO      is divided into parts on the album so ....

[tri.ad]

So is The Killing Hand.

[ScioPath]

one of the reasons i argued that it should be on the list

[BRGM]

Octavarium
The Count of tuscany
In The Presence of Enemies
Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence




A Change of Seasons

Do the others really count as epics? :S
In mu opinion they don't, but that's just me, the yare just, "a little longer DT tracks"

[orcus116]

Pretty much, though I'm with Kev on AMBI because as a suite it works great and if we're counting SDOIT, the other suite, why not count that.

[BRGM]

Yes! exaclty!

[Gadough]

I am in full support of this.

[Slain]

I am in full support of this.

Really? I've always considered In the Name of God an epic.

Really? I've always considered In the Name of God an epic.

In DT's case, what qualifies as an epic should either exceed or be almost 20 minutes long. In The Name of God is only a few minutes longer than the rest of the songs on Train of Thought, at 14 minutes. And besides like I said before, if that's an epic than so is A Nightmare to Remember.

OCTAVARIUM

With Six Degrees as a Really close second.

[Birch Boy]

The Count Of Tuscany

*puts up shield*
I never really saw all the appeal of "Octavarium"
