Veils, title track, and Dreams, in that order, but aside from Necropolis and Flaming Metal Systems they're all more or less crap.

what the fuck man, Veils and Dreams of Eschaton are awesome. Surely the prologue is the first obvious pick anywayI voted Prologue, Feeling Free Again and Epilogue even though I'm hesitant about the latter because I kind of feel it's an essential tie-in to Dreams
Yeah Veils is definitely one of the strongpoints of the album.

Maybe one day I'll be in the mood for whatever Veils is trying to do, but to me it sounds like a Tom G Warrior had a stroke in writing a Celtic Frost song after laying down two chords and the rest of the band just kinda awkwardly went along with it. Retarded kinda-doom mostly-slog metal. I get that sometimes less is more and whatever, but I can't find anything to appreciate about it. I honestly would take anything off of Killer Fox's Orgasm of Death over it, it's a totally inane song, atmospheric black metal-tier garbage.

I get how someone could find the vocals awkward on that song, but the angular doomy riff has such presence, I love how the opening few notes creep in followed by Shelton's maniacal laugh.
the two obvious ones and Feeling Free Again for me.
Maybe i should've made this a 3 day poll or something. Next round should be pretty interesting though.

So HBB prefers the intro and outro of the album over some of the best songs on the album. Peak contrarianism.

I didn't factor in the intro and outro and I think it's pointless to even include them in these polls. I don't remember what they sound like, but if they're short minute long acoustic or keyboard things, they're better than the three songs I named.

I intend to edit the above "interlude" to "intro/outro/interlude" but the editing and like functions on this forum have been fucked for me for the past week.

Well no, but I don't really believe you actually dislike those songs more than the intro and outro. I think you're being a contrarian but whatevs.

OK, listening to Prologue, this is some pretty cool vintage 80s sci-fi synth stuff with a martial thing drum-wise. Easily at least a 3/5. Epilogue has a sort of a basement Hans Zimmer space piano thing with a scream and some rainmaker effects at the end. Doesn't do much but it's aight, 2.5/5.
But the tracks should be considered to be a part of their adjoining songs regardless. Prologue is literally an intro to Necropolis and Epilogue seamlessly fades from Dreams.
