'Shedding The Deadwood', mainly for the lyrics, but also for the awesome guitar tones in that song.
That's sort of an asterisked position though, and I'll explain why. Every other song has its complement, Intro and The Will to Give; The Sun Was In My Eyes parts one and two, Allure and Shedding, and the last three songs. Dragged is left alone, but that makes it the only track on the album that I can listen to without hearing the whole album around it. The other songs, I feel, aren't as powerful when taken independently (which isn't a bash on the album, its my number 1 album, although Woods III is threatening to knock it off the top spot). Thats why I like Dragged, because it feels more like a song than a piece of an album (which isn't to say it doesn't fit, it fits perfectly, but because its so long it acts as its own complement)
Wow! This is very interesting to me! Great observation! I'll agree that the songs on "Woods 2" (Pursuit...) are really connected together, even just as pairs, mostly, but "Woods 3's" songs, though still 'concept', can be heard individually on their own without so much "huh?". Though W3 tells a story, the impact of each song is less dependent on the 'set up' from the previous song and the 'complimentary delivery' from the song after it.
