Can I vote for Tenement Funster/Flick of the Wrist/Lilly of the Valley?
Seriously, I haven't given it enough listens yet, definitely between Nightmare/Best of Times/Count.
I made the mistake of pcking up The Dave Matthews Band's new one at the same time, and that's been getting the most spins.

I completely agree . If the poll were entitled "do you like or hate DT?", some bashing would be expected! Going back to BC&SL, I listened to it again earlier and I've got to say now, after a few listens, A Nightmare To Remember is actually as good as The Shattered Fortress. Still glad I voted for the latter though, as TSF's got less votes. |

I'm not going to vote just yet, as I have not heard the album enough yet. However, suffice to say it sounds terrific.
Nightmare To Remember and Shattered Fortress stand out so far, whilst I also particularly love the instrumental section of A Rite Of Passage. DT were phenomenal when I saw them on their recent UK tour and I will be seeing them again in October too .
Oh incidentally, I too am sick of the DT-bashing. Why don't they just start up a DT-bashing thread and leave us to constructive discussion. I've not got a problem with constructive criticism but as for this "DT suck" thing...... well I'll say no more.

I confidently gave BC&SL 5 stars (here's my review- http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=224039), so everything is great on that album (in my opinion at least).
The Shattered Fortress is great in context with the other songs in the AA suite, but as one song it's probably The Count of Tuscany or The Best of Times. Here's how I'd rate each song... 1. The Count of Tuscany- 5/5 2. The Best of Times- 5/5 3. The Shattered Fortress- 5/5 4. A Nightmare to Remember- 4.5/5 5. A Rite of Passage- 4/5 6. Wither- 4/5 This equals out to 27.5/30 which is 4.583/5 (sorry I had to unleash my inner math nerd) |

The best song for me is The Count of Tuscany but I'm not really sure because of A nightmare to Remember.They're both epics

I'm afraid it's my least favorite. It will surely have some connection to the past (12 step saga) but to me it's just a cheap way to write another song. It's highly unoriginal.
My vote is for The Best of Times followed by the Count of Tuscany (except for the lyrics)

Why is the Count of Tuscany winning? Oh that's right, people will say an epic is the best because it's long, no matter how good the song is.
I voted "The Best Of Times", which between it, "The Shattered Fortress", and "Nightmare to remember" are easily the best on the album. And I have to say I haven't heard a tune as cheery as that one by DT since Six Degrees.

I'll say A Nightmare To Remember, followed by The Best of Times. Last for me would be Right Of Passage.
