More people need to start voting for The Twilight is my Robe! For some reason I thought that would make the finals. Guess I was wrong...still one of my favourite Opeth songs by far...

5. The Forest Of October
6. Bleak(this one was TOUGH, my two fav BWP tracks)

1. White Cluster (not too hard)
2. Under the Weeping Moon (tougher)
3. The Apostle in Triumph (choosing the better one of two epics)
4. Advent (by a wide margin!)
5. Serenity Painted Death (Forest is good too - just not good enough)
6. Bleak (no contest, IMHO!)
7. The Moor (ouch! this was a tough one)
8. The Night and the Silent Water (rather close, once again)

Even though I didn't vote for it, I have a feeling that BRI is going to come out on top...either that or The Forest of October.
