You still have room for 2 more songs.

Also, "Gates of Tomorrow" (twice) higher than "Paschendale"? Nope.
 
Thought this was gonna be hard, but was surprisingly easy. The hardest part was not putting the entirety of Brave New World in there.

The only ones I could really rank properly are my Top 3: The Book of Souls, Paschendale and Dream of Mirrors.

In alphabetical order, just to be a smart arse (and that's the order my iTunes playlist put them in :p):

Blood Brothers
The Book of Souls
Brave New World
Brighter Than A Thousand Suns
Coming Home
Dance of Death
Dream of Mirrors
Empire of the Clouds
For The Greater Good of God
Ghost of the Navigator
If Eternity Should Fail
Journeyman
The Legacy
Montsegur
Out of the Shadows
Paschendale
Rainmaker
The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg
Shadows of the Valley
Speed of Light
Starblind
The Talisman*
The Thin Line Between Love and Hate
When The Wild Wind Blows
The Wicker Man


*I actually much prefer the En Vivo! version, but I couldn't think of anything I'd rather see in it's place.

I actually think that Gates Of Tomorrow is not a bad song (great chorus and intro) - typical Janick song with a fast crazy solo. Maybe that song was written all by Janick, but Bruce and Steve were like: ''nah, we can't let you do a whole song alone, we must check it first'' :D

Other songs that I think are full of Janick's handwriting: Fear Is The Key, Wasting Love, The Apparition....

Gates of Tomorrow is awesome.

I also like New Frontier, good chorus and fantastic solo by Adrian (on this album, his solos are top-notch), and the gem from the DOD album - Face In The Sand !

Journeyman is another great song with a typical ''special'' Maiden feel on it - and Montségur is also a good song (typical Janick melodies on it), which is like a clone to The Fallen Angel. The DOD album is very good and underrated !

Yeah, DoD is a stellar album which works because they’re very experimental with everything. Best reunion album after TBOS.
