| Very close between 'Metropolis' and 'Learning to Live', but it has to be 'Metropolis' : a brilliant song. |

take the time - nice guitar/synth solos and decent vocals (hey, it's Labrie). surrounded and another day are simply boring, they aren't bad, they are too boring to be bad 
. and pull me under has no chance as it was simply a disappointment to
hear the sterile sound (and Labrie) that Images and Words/DT had after
listening to (the best DT album) when dream and day unite for almost 4
years.yours, I want chris collins back. now! |

Tough call here, but my vote went for Learning to Live.
Take the time closely follows, as it is the first track I ever heard of
DT, and I probably spent a whole summer learning every note of the
track on the guitar(Guitar World had a transcription...). Metropolis
contains some of the best parts DT ever made, but as a song the
solo-stuff ruins it a bit in my opinion.
------------- Currently listening to: - Andromeda - Pagan's Mind - Kamelot |

Another Day. The first DT track I ever heard, and one of the main reasons I've always believed they were capable of producing good material. Great song. Metroplis comes second ------------- I'm always almost unlucky _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Id5ZcnjXSZaSMFMC Id5LM2q2jfqz3YxT |

Metropolis - absolutely mindblowing. It's eccentric, beautifully paced, inventively coloured, the foreshadowing, tension building and release is handled perfectly and it simply reinvents itself all the time. + LaBrie's vocal melodies connect like on no other DT song The only weaker song on this album is IMO "Another Day". The rest are only the tiniest fraction behind "Metropolis". ------------- "In war there is no time to teach or learn Zen. Carry a strong stick. Bash your attackers." - Zen Master Ikkyu Sojun |

Take the Time, the best vibe in the whole album!! (Of course, Metropolis and Learning to Live are almost aside). |

| Definitely Learning to Live - great lyrics, too. I suppose Take the Time would come a close second, if it weren't for some vocal parts when LaBrie screams as one possessed. I cordially dislike Another Day, though - while Wait for Sleep is a great acoustic, romantic track, where LaBrie sings tolerably well. |

I like "Pull Me Under" although LaCamembert isn't doing too well with vocal heights.. Ah well, you just can't have it all!

Metropolis is probably the best song on here, but I'm partial to
Surrounded, I just love that song to death; amazing intro (love it when
the piano part starts to speed up , then segue into that little guitar
solo), amazing guitar and synth work, and a beautiful epic chorus.
LaBrie is absolutely amazing on this song.
