Dark Tranquillity Song Survivor - round 13 / part 2

[Villain]

And here's the second part of the Survivor. No third part from now on, as all the songs fit within these polls.

Last round was a bad one for The Mind's I, as it lost two more songs, bringing the total amount of songs from that album remaining to mere 4. Of the other albums, Skydancer has 5 songs left, Of Chaos and Eternal Night 2, The Gallery 7, Projector 6, after losing Dobermann last round, Haven 6 and Damage Done 8, which is quite surprising - perhaps people haven't yet got bored of many songs from that album..?

Anyways, REMEMBER TO VOTE FOR THE LEAST GOOD SONG AND IN BOTH PARTS!

the gallery. this part was easier because i never thought this song was particularly good. almost everything else on the record it's on does the same things gallery does, only better. for some reason, i also find the lyrics slightly too "artsy" for dark tranquillity standards. they're certainly philosophical and deep as always, but i find it overacted somehow, as if they had been trying too hard.

Mine is the Grandeur...Of Melancholy Burning. I'm mainly a post-Gallery DT fan, and I can't even remember how this one goes at all (even though I have given The Gallery it's fair share of chances). That isn't a good sign.

 

[Miolo]

away, delight, away. i can't even remember it.

 

[Gums]

away, delight, away. back in the day, that catchy intro and that part at about 3:05 got stuck in my head for days, and it was a nuisance! plus, I think that talking part at 4:00 is just goofy

 

[TheFourthHorseman]

The Sun Fired Blanks. That riff still annoys me.

 

[Gtranquillity]

as always... of chaos... !

 

[Kovenant84]

Away.

The Gallery... I never found it to be one of the better DT songs... and the reasons rahvin said.
I guess I never really liked the female vocal part... usually when the song got to that part I would skip to the next track... maybe i wa snever i nteh mood for the song....

BTW, I can't believe none you people who voted for Away, Delight, Away took the opportunity to say "away, Away, Delight, Away, away."

The word you are looking for is "pretentious." Happy to help.

I triple-post.

i think some jokes were cracked at ada's expenses in the past though. don't be pretentious now.

 

[Kovenant84]

Hehe, you're right there Rahv. I think I used up all my jokes on ADA when we had the first thread that ended in that tie between Lethe and Hedon.

[rahvin]

those were the days! people actually voted in polls instead of staring at them as if they were some sort of very complicated can-opener.

 

[Kovenant84]

Haha. Not only did we vote, we also bribed, blackmailed, and 'struck deals' with each other into changing votes

[rahvin]

me, i couldn't do that anymore since i beckoned the higher calling and become a moderator.

*thinks "today the dt board, tomorrow the vatican"*

 

[Villain]

Choosing between the mediocre songs Feast of Burden, At Loss for Words and Of Chaos and Eternal Night, I finally decided against the first one, as it has some of the worst DT-lyrics ever, I think.

[Delirious]

and the gallery is now only one vote away from away, delight, away.

 

[Legende]

not more than a game and you already use the adjective "mediocre" for a song lol... I guess it's ironic. Anyway art is as subjective as the appreciation you have to put above it. But I guess this subject has already went through. Nevermind me.
