Please vote for your favourite FOUR "Woods 2" songs here! Now! Important!!!

[David Gold]

Folks,

Should we be considering a "WOODS OF YPRES - Best of 2002-2007" of sorts, please let me know which four songs from "Woods 2: Pursuit of the Sun & Allure of the Earth" you think we should include.

btw - "'Best of' albums are for housewives and little girls".

DG - \w/

EDIT - By mistake, I added "Summer's Envy" twice in the poll, at both the 6th and 8th track position. It belongs at #8 where "Shedding the Deadwood" should be at #6. That tracklisting error on the first 1000 copy run of CDs still haunts me, apparently. So treat #6 "Summer's Envy" as "Shedding the Deadwood", please.

You really can't break apart those first 4 tracks, imo.

agreed

 

[CaGeD iN]

The first four are excellent songs, but The Ghosts Of Summer's Past has a lot of meaning to me

 

[Aeonblade]

Just curious, is there any reason Shedding The Deadwood isn't up there?

 

[David Gold]

Aeonblade - Aw, schucks! I goofed!

EDIT - By mistake, I added "Summer's Envy" twice in the poll, at both the 6th and 8th track position. It belongs at #8 where "Shedding the Deadwood" should be at #6. That tracklisting error on the back cover of the first 1000 copy run of CDs still haunts me, apparently. So treat #6 "Summer's Envy" as "Shedding the Deadwood", please. I serve the curve but I don't think I can edit the pole.

 

[Will Bozarth]

"edit the pole".

If this thread didn't have the possibility of popping up on news sites, I'd make a crude joke there.

Didn't you see where I wrote:

?

 

[Will Bozarth]

I left that one alone.

 

[HeavyMetalAdam]

I really have a hard time pulling specific songs from the album. This has always been a full album listen for me....

 

[chrisdoig24k]

The first four are tough to separate, but Allure of the Earth HAS to be in there!

 

[sdmf2]

Allure, Shedding, Ghosts, and Dragged.

 

[phantomfreak]

The Will To Give
The Sun Was In My Eyes: Part Doom
Allure Of The Earth
The Ghosts Of Summer's Past

 

[David Gold]

"The Will to Give" will go in. "Allure of the Earth" should go in. I'd like to include "Dragged Across a Forest Floor". If either part of "The Sun was in My Eyes" goes in, so must its brother. That combination which already excludes the pre-Will to Give track "Looming of Dust in the Dark..." would narrow it down to five. I need four. I agree that W2 really is an album, and not a collection of individual, easy seperable songs. With that in mind, I'm looking to choose the four best songs that can stand alone in a context such as this: 'A Best Of..." CD. It won't tell the whole story, just a few of the better, self-contained chapters.

 

[Darth Grimby]

Yeah I went with the first 4. Best "Side A" ever.

 

[Dauden]

Totally Dragged Across A Forest Floor, to me that song best represents the album as a whole. Maybe cause its longer, but I think just the lyrics, and where its placed on the album, it just sums everything up and touches on everything overall.

 

[chrisdoig24k]

Dragged is the one song on the album that I skip! Looming of Dust ftw!

 

[Peterk]

Heres my 4
Looming of Dust in the Dark (& the Illumination)
The Will to Give
Shedding the Deadwood
Summer's Envy

 

[Ghost-Division]

The Will To Give (The lyrics mean a lot to me actually)
The Sun Was In My Eyes: Part Doom
Allure Of The Earth
Shedding The Deadwood (there's a certain set of lines in that song that I really enjoy)
