Asylum is one of the most heart-wrenchingly emotional pieces of music set to tape, yet not a cliche in sight. The concept; it's not quite clear, but we know there is one, I love the mystery, the way the meaning can change for different people. The band actually get on as well. It shows. Masterpiece.

It's the worst on the album, but still a 4-star song, and better than most AOR bands' entire careers!

And it's essential to the album's concept, so I'm perfectly happy with it being in there.

Every song is a mini masterpiece... Can't believe Asylum hasn't gotten more votes, though. I'd pick that.
Nothing to say here. Nothing at all. Nothing is easy.

Rudy, but could have easily gone with School too. Several other excellent tracks here!

I think Asylum is one of the finest pieces of music ever written.

Rudy gets my vote!  It's pretty awesome, if I do say so myself.
