Which is the better song in your opinion? Both are very lengthy dream theater master pieces (IMO they are both master pieces).

Dont start talking about which is a better album, I'm talking strictly about the songs themselves, as seperate pieces from their albums..

thanks.

ACOS, no contest. I like Octavarium, but the old song (both Moore and Sherinian's versions) dwarf it to me.

I'd say A Change of Seasons is better aswel but do you guys think that Octavarium is good too?

I dislike the rest of the album (Octavarium) but the track itself is an amazing piece with a great finale aswel. I really dont agree that Octavarium sucks Pafnutij.

I'm completely underwhelmed by the "finale" of Octavarium. I like about 1/3 of the epic (right from after the first part with vocals with the uncalled-for complexity in the chord changes to the end of the ultra complex part).

Both kik butt yet I have 2 go with ocatvarium simply beacause of those 2 verses made up purely of song titles, to me that shows how far DT have progressed since change of seasons.

I PREFER OCTOVARIAN. CHANGE OF SEASON SOUNDS  AS IF IT WAS RECORDED TOO QUICK AND LOSES ITSELF IN PLACES!

A Change Of Seasons is great but Octavarium transpose you to a travel of feelings and emotions and that is what the music must do.

Octavarium the best Dream Theater song ever.

       sing to the LORD, all the earth.

A Change of Seasons for me.

I'm a bit surprised that Octavarium has more votes.

I got moved to a higher level by a change of seasons  than any other dream theater song has taken me  , Though I like Octavarium I don`t consider its as great.   Change of seasons 9/10   Octavarium 8.5/10
