"Empire" truly is outstanding. For me, it's the only song in the discography which has at least come close to beating "Rime", and one that actually left me wondering if it could win over it (even if it didn't, as you can see in my sig, it's still very impressive).

But what about "The Apparition"? I mean, it's a 10/10 for you, isn't it? Or is it a 9.91 rounded up, and "Empire" is truly a 10?
