Worst song poll part 4

[de_aztec]

Possibly, but up against the other 4 full songs, it just doesn't quite measure up ('Wreath' possibly, but I love how that song explodes out of the gates, it is just a great opening salvo).

How do you mean it doesn't measure up? (Deliverance?)

Well I would consider 'Deliverance' (the song) and 'Masters Apprentices' two of Opeth's better heavy tracks, and 'A Fair Judgement' is just masterful in the way it ebbs and flows. And for me they are far superior to 'By The Pain...' and as I mentioned in my post above, 'Wreath' just beats it out for me because I like the way it kicks off the album. I don't think 'By The Pain...' is a horrible song at all - I think it is better than quite a few - but compared to the tracks preceeding it, it is just a bit underwhelming for mine.

Oh my mistake, I thought you were refering to Deliverance as the weakest track of the album. Sorry about the confusion.

I guess the end kinda drags ass and spoils it a little bit, although I'm a bit impartial to the strange vocal tones at the start. One of my reasons for not liking Master's Apprentices is because the start also drags ass, so I guess my argument is a little bit flimsy.
