Octavarium gives me the chills.
And everything under the sun is in tune

But the sun is eclipsed by the moon

Octavarium easily. My favourite DT song overall. Each part of the song is perfect. Some parts of ACOS annoy me a bit, but it's a great song nontheless.

A change of seasons might just be DT greatest masterpiece!

Octavarium is definitely one of the greatest songs but when I heard a change of seasons on the live album "Once in a Livetime" it made this poll easy for me.

Tough one. I love both songs equally, but I voted for Change of Seasons, because it's intro is more interesting that 8VM's. I often find myself skipping the Continuum solo on 8VM.

The Octavarium intro is actually one of my favourites of all time, but oh well. LOL

That particular part feels like a filler to me. It's just Jordan showing his skills in another two freaky gadgets. But sometimes it worth when you are relaxed and helps to dive into a nice atmosphere... both songs are perfect, but ACOS is more DT, more, something...
Change the program inside... Stay in silence is a crime.

Octavarium by far.
A Change of Seasons is one of the worst DT albums, IMO. I DESPISE medleys.

If I focus on the songs instead of the albums, Octavarium is still better than ACOS.

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.
