^yes it would. But they'd have to play songs like Tongues, Of Chaos and Eternal Night, The Emptiness From which I Fed, Format C: fo Cortex and Mind Matters for this show to be the greatest of all time

Although I like Zodijackyl Light, I think in the same kind of song that Scythe, Rage And Roses would be a better pick on live gigs.
I don't think Punish My Heaven is overrated... and I'm one of the few who also thinks that the Final Resistance is a nice closer (but maybe a little overrated I agree).
PS : Cool sig RampageSword!

Nt3N: On the contrary. My namesake is the best song on Projector and one of DT's top 3 (imo anyway).
Sorry guys, I like all of the tunes that you think are overrated. Ditto on the whole DT being woefully underrated.

Undo Control is also 1 of my fav DT songs. Now that I think about it, I think it was the 1st DT song I ever heard.

I don't think any of the songs are overrated. They're all pretty good and catchy in some ways. Punish my heaven is one of my favourite song ever, that's the one that made me listen to extreme metal. Final Resistance is a good finish for concerts if you want my opinion.

haven.
getting ready to be flamed. sorry i just don't like that song but love every other song on haven.
same thing with final resistance, that is the most overated song.
wonders at your feet is close too, but is better than haven.

not that it's overrated as in being a bad song. i like wonders at your feet and would love to see it played live. it's just that it's a song that they released and most people who don't appriciate dt would think that it's "catchy" and like wonders and wouldn't appriciate the rest of the material on haven when the rest of the matierial in my opinion is alot better(ex. not built too last, feast of burden, fabric, ego drama, emptier still, the loss for words)
just like when metallica released "one" off "and justice for all". don't know if you like old metallica but one was a good song but the rest of the material was much better. and out of any metallica album ever made was the most technical and had the best lyrical content. so everybody listens to the radio, loves one and it happens to be one of the mediocre songs on that album.
but every band has been doing this for years. they almost always release the most catchy radio friendly song on the album, the one that sounds like it will appeal to the greatest audience.
when i listen to damage done i never skip over monochromatic stains but if i had to choose my favorites i'd choose the hours passed, single part of two, or the enemy. monochromatic stains is still one of the best songs on the album but it is more catchy. for an example my roomate doesn't listen to anything but the radio and also listens to rap. he heard it and said, "that sounds pretty cool, kinda catchy".
oh well, doesn't change the fact that wonders or mono. chro. are great songs. if i was in a band i'd do the same thing. even when you are dedicated to making good music and not selling out it still comes down to being able to put food in your mouth and pay your bills. now dt seems to do pretty good because they're worldwide. but the cost of touring seems staggering to only charge like 14 bucks for a headline show. on top of that for most of this tour they are supporting, not all that lucrative. but i wonder if they are very well off or just make enough to cover costs, pay bills and have a little extra. cause we all know that the record companies take way too much, but even if that's the case they get paid to have one hell of a cool job.

I mean it's the best they've used. I don't know how Archetype, for example, would sound as an opener.

About The wonders: While it might indeed be a catchy song and so on, i do believe it's one of the best songs on Haven. My other favorites from that album are Fabric, Emptier and NBTL. The keyboards are perfect without trying (and failing miserably) to be extremely complex, like on Character, and so many other things about it are also amazing.
Monochromatic Stains. I like the song, but it's not one of my favorites. I think it is overrated because they have made a video for it and they play it at their shows all the time.

true, they do play it at almost every show. i'd like to hear something else form damage done like the hours, the enemy, single part of two, format c:, or even cathode ray sunshine.

Imo, The enemy is one of the best tracks (possibly the best, along with Single part of two) on DD. Unless you count The poison well as a DD track.
