I love everything on this album so this is gonna be a hard one for me

Dawn Patrol is the easy first pick. Lucretia is the only song on this album i don't consider flawless so it gets my second pick. Third one is hard but im gonna have to go with Poison Was the Cure

 

[Slammed]

Dawn and Rust are the obvious weak links and the only non-good songs. Dusted the album off before determining the last vote, going with Hangar 18 which despite a great intro and a couple great Friedman solos, is padded with about two minutes of unnecessary wank.

Lucretia is the best song on the album btw.

 

[Sophii]

Poison, Prisoners, Dawn Patrol (even though I fucking love that bass riff...)

That two minute wank actually happens to be my favourite part of the song. Love how Dave & Marty trade solos in that section.

 

[Bloopy]

Rust, Dawn, Poison

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Holy shit. How does Polaris have four votes?

 

[Allfader]

Poison, Lucretia, Dawn

 

[-CC-]

More incredibly, how does Tornado of Souls have two votes?

yeah, i'm usually the guy to complain about wankery but they really go at it in that song and it rules.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Holy shit. How does Polaris have four votes?

How does it not have more? The lyrics/vocal delivery are terrible, the chorus riff is ordinary trad metal stuff, the thrashy parts are disconnected, it's a total mess of a song that's halfway to the Sweating Bullets sound.

Nick Menza really thrashes his kit at that point to. Wonderful crescendo.

Special shout out to @alex76 for being the first to pick less than 3 tracks when voting this round.

 

[jimmy101]

Take No Prisoners being on the verge of a first round exit is a bit of a surprise for me.

 

[no country for old wainds]

it's eeeeasily my least favourite on here (aside from dawn patrol, obviously)

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Take No Prisoners has some naaaaaasty riffage!
