What Earl said.


I should make clear that on most of these "ranking" threads, there are mere shades of difference in my love for one song over another... that's why this has been hard to do... there are almost no "bad" or "worst" songs in the band's catalogue... see "top 10 worst Yessongs" for those titles - I couldn't even name 10!

[Jackaranda]

1) RSOG

Do any of you who "rated songs on Tales" even get the album,have any of you owned,cleaned and wiped the double vinyl lovingly every time you played that fantastic,SINGLE piece of music.
I somehow think not.
Thank you the voices of reason on this thread for stopping me from getting my shotgun,IP revealler,passport and a few new shells together

Yarstruly.....I am coming for ya
(some times I think people start this thread just to wind me and others like me up)

[Wakey's #1 Fan]

1. The Revealing Science of God
1. Ritual
2. The Remembering
3. The Ancient

I can't say which one's better

Sory...not trying to rile everyone up...just in good fun...maybe I should have said "Movements" instead of "Songs"...

[Ajay]

1. The Revealing Science of God
1. Ritual
2. The Remembering
3. The Ancient

I can't say which one's better

I have to agree completely with you.
So hard to pick between Ritual and Revealing.

[Sunhillow_]

The whole album is just fantastic... theres no bad song...but I would pick The Ancient as the better one... then Ritual and Revealing, then Remembering

[marklovesyes]

1. Ritual

Absolutely in agreement with that one!

DITTO.

Knew there'd be at least one person in here who shared my view.

[yarstruly]

Bumpedy bump

[TOBYSGRAPHICGOKART]

1. The Revealing Science Of God.
2. Ritual.*
2. The Remembering.*
4. The Ancient.

* Can't choose between these two.

[yarstruly]

Anyone else wanny have their say?

[YesfanAndy]

1. Revealing
2. Ritual
3. Remembering

a distant 4th

4. The Ancient.

[chipperoo]

It is just one incredible song.........

[Olorin]

Actually, I would say that the original running order is also the order from best to "worst." I've never really cared that much for "Ritual." I don't dislike it; I just don't get all dewy-eyed over it like a lot of people do.

[cinderella]

1.The Ancient


2. The Revealing Science Of God
3. Ritual
4. The Remembering

[yarstruly]

1. Revealing
2. Ritual
3. Remembering

a distant 4th

4. The Ancient.

Agreed...except reverse 1&2 for me...

[ToBeOver]

I can't rank 'individual' songs from TALES, because it's one great song.

Ditto! ;)

I remember purchasing this album and not being able to get it out of my head. It's one amazing song and without the individual parts that comprise it, would be quite meaningless, IMO.



:keyboard:

[In Camera]

1. Ritual
2. The Remembering
3. The Revealing Science of God
4. The Ancient

[bjlevine]

Wait. There's more than one song on Tales?

Just kidding.

1. The Remembering
2. The Revealing Science of God
3. Ritual
4. The Ancient

I'm giving Remembering the nod because of the incredible climactic ending.

I love 'em all, but I'd rank 'em as such:


4. Ritual
1. The Revealing Science of God
2. The Remembering
3. The Ancient

[rememberer]

The Remembering (obviously...)
The Revealing Science Of God
The Ancient*
Ritual*

*(I'm ranking The Ancient above Ritual because it nevers gets played anymore, and besides that I'm mad at Ritual because it keeps getting played instead of The Remembering. ;)

[Superunknown]

1. The Remembering :D
2. Ritual
3. Revealing Science of God
4. The Ancient

[Australian]

For me...

1) The Remembering
2) The Revealing Science of God
3) Ritual
4) The Ancient

[yarstruly]

Bumping up so people who haven't seen these can tell us their opinions....

This ranking was also painful: I really love ALL the tracks. Granted, THE ANCIENT does tend to go on a bit in the same way with the same annoying guitar sound for quite awhile, but it's a mural that works well . . . .
