Dream Theater Survivor 2013: Results Thread - A Change of Seasons wins!

[Collin]

Endless Sacrifice was innocent, like Victoria. It was all Caught in a Web!

[Collin]

A Change of Seasons

 

[Detective Beauregard]

They're both amazing songs but I have to go with Learning to Live.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

I guess both you and Glass Prison will be Learning to Live in new ways, now.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Learning to Live.

A Change of Seasons is just too good. The "preparing for her flight" part alone is worth the top spot.

 

[Mosh]

I'm still not really sure which I prefer. There are a couple instrumental parts in ACOS that I'm not fond of but they don't really detract from the greatness of the song for me.

 

[Collin]

And that's why you should vote for A Change of Seasons. Learning to Live is obviously the better song.

 

[Detective Beauregard]

We sure are. Glass Prison confused me, anyway; such an Enigma Machine!

 

[Detective Beauregard]

A Change of Seasons is just too good. The "preparing for her flight" part alone is worth the top spot.

It amazes me how you like that part considering your general feelings regarding "screamy" LaBrie.

I must say that the outro of Learning to Live is one of the finest moments of music I've ever heard.

 

[The Flash]

Learning to Live

 

[Black Wizard]

Learning to Live

It's a good song and all that but I don't rate it that highly in Dream Theater's discography.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

It amazes me how you like that part considering your general feelings regarding "screamy" LaBrie.

True, it is an anomaly, but it's such a unique section due to the snare drum.

 

[Detective Beauregard]

True, it is an anomaly, but it's such a unique section due to the snare drum.

How do you feel about the somewhat similar "Trapped inside this oc-ta-var-i-um!!!1!1" section?

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

How do you feel about the somewhat similar "Trapped inside this oc-ta-var-i-um!!!1!1" section?

No, because, that's annoying.

 

[Mosh]

In a dramatic turn of events, not only is Metropolis dethroned for the first time, but it didn't even reach the final round!

This was fun as always, very nice seeing a different winner and some variety in the top ten. Thanks for playing!

 

[Black Wizard]

I'm very happy to see 'A Change of Seasons' winning. I'm always split between that and 'Home' as my favourite Dream Theater song.

 

[The Flash]

I'm not satisfied at all.

• Scarred should've been in the Top 10.
• Take the Time should've been in the Top 10.
• Metropolis should've won it all.
• Octavarium deserved to be in the Top 4.
• The Glass Prison doesn't belong in the Top 5.
• Although it wasn't in the conversation for Top 10, Space-Dye Vest was sadly overlooked. No way it's the worst song off Awake (not counting Eve).

Cheers for hosting, Mosh.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Thanks for hosting, Mosh! I'm incredibly pleased with the Top 3.

I'm not satisfied at all.

• Take the Time should've been in the Top 5.
• Octavarium doesn't deserve to be in the Top 10.
• The Glass Prison should have won it all!

Fixed that for you.

 

[Collin]

I'm unsatisfied.

• This Dying Soul, Endless Sacrifice, and Bridges in the Sky should have been in the top 10.
• Octavarium and Breaking All Illusions should've been higher.
• Blind Faith and The Mirror don't really belong in the top 10.
• A Change of Seasons should be lower.

Furthermore I can't believe we voted out The Bigger Picture immediantly, that song has just made it's way into my top 10.
