Hello friends, this has probably been done before, but I didn't feel like searching through endless pages to find out. A Change of Seasons is my all-time favorite song of theirs, but since it's not a regular studio album, I won't include it. I figured this might be fun, and we can all kinda see what style or side to the band each person is drawn to?

That intro is amazing. But even after that, the atmosphere in the build up to the main part of the song is off the chart. And it's one of the best choruses they've ever written.
Still can't figure out why that song gets dogged on so much. It's brilliant.

I&W is my favorite album and I love ALL songs on it. Yet, interestingly, Learning to Live is such a masterpiece to me that it was a relatively easy pick. Awake is my second favorite DT album, and it was harder to pick a song. Admittedly, SDV is a bit atypical, so one could argue against that. But it's a top 10 DT tune for me, and one that gives me goosebumps to this day, so I went with it. Voices, Scarred, The Mirror and Lifting Shadows would all be plausible candidates for me, though.

Agreed, every song on I&W is amazing but Learning to Live is an easy favourite for me. Every melody and riff is just iconic, I love the way it all unfolds.
My list:
- Afterlife
- Learning to Live

The other one I find hard to pick is Six Degrees, as it was my first album it's very nostalgic for me and I love all the songs. I've gone with Glass Prison for now but that can change any day.
Let's see;
1. Afterlife
2. Learning to Live

Love to see Misunderstood on your list! That song is my second favorite off that album, and is dear to me. It resonates with me, as the lyrics apply very well to someone who has suffered with long term chronic illness.

Good idea and frightfully hard thing to do :D
1 - WDADU - The Ytse Jam (just because it was the first song I learned and played it so many times)
2 - I&W - Take the time (Hard to choose with metropolis and Learning to Live)
3 - Awake - Erotomania (for the same reason as Ytse Jam, I'm a LTE instrumental fan lol)
4 - FII - lines in the sand
5 - SFAM - The dance of eternity (but I'd say the whole act2 if I could)
6 - SDOIT - the whole six degrees suite (the glass prison and blind faith are masterpieces tho)
7 - TOT - Honor thy father (in the name of god is just behind)
8 - Octavarium - Octavarium
9 - SC - In the presence of enemies pt1&2 (the dark eternal night 2nd)
10 - BCSL - The Count Of Tuscany (nightmare beautiful agony tells me I'm wrong)
11 - ADTOE - Bridges In The Sky (but breaking all illusion)
12 - DT12 - Illumination Theory (even if I love the false awakening suite, enemy inside and enigma machine)
13 - TA - heaven's cove because it's the best tristram diablo2 kind of theme sound alike that sounds so good lol (dystopian overture, lord nafaryus, three days, a life left behind, a new beginning, moment of betrayal, path that divides, all have SUPER strong parts tho)
14 - DOT - At Wits End (untethered angel, fall into the light and its hammond, barstool warrior, pale blue dot and viper king are all so great...)
15 - VFTTOTW - The alien (and many are great too)
The more I thought about it the more it has been impossible for me to choose 1 of each lol
I'll try to edit and trim my answer.

Non-album song: Raise the Knife
first post here :)
A Fortune in Lies - really fun. I think there's a gravity and emotionality to the chorus that I really appreciate.
Metropolis - the all-time classic, the prechorus part has all the theatricality that I want to hear in the band.
Voices - super cool, menacing, great vocal parts.
Burning My Soul - an underappreciated experiment I guess. I like nu-metal and the band does it fairly well here, it's a bit underwritten though.
Finally Free - again properly theatrical! 'One Last Time' theme coming back is also so sick.
The Glass Prison - astounding, some of their best melodies, this direction with Mike's vocals works so well for them.
Endless Sacrifice - I dig again the slight nu-metal influence on the chorus. Great pop metal song.
The Root of all Evil - another very well-constructed 'pop metal' type song.
Forsaken - I've always liked their shorter and more focused material, I find this works better for me than the other SC songs.
A Rite of Passage - maybe a bit too long, but a fun song, the vocal harmonies in the chorus add so much for me.
Bridges in the Sky - maybe the best Mangini-era song to me. Such a powerful climax!
The Enemy Inside - a great 'pop metal' type song, this is a real place of comfort for the band.
(don't dig 'the Astonishing')
At Wit's End - solid. I enjoy this song but I don't think the hooks come out at first, still my favourite on the record.
A View from on Top of the World - one of their most interesting epics, very experimental in ways but with a banger chorus.
Solitary Shell is the best song off of disc 2. :biggrin:

A Fortune in Lies - really fun. I think there's a gravity and emotionality to the chorus that I really appreciate.

That's a great list. I, too, consider Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence to be one long masterpiece of a composition.

I guess it depends on how you listen to it. I always listen to it from the beginning through the end. But I also listen to albums like that rather than individual songs. lol. Everyone I know just listens to playlists they've created on shuffle and I'm like ew. haha
