It's been awhile since I've done one of these and it's still a fun game methinks so let's try it out...

4. Erotomania
5. Voices
6. Hell's Kitchen
7. Lines in the Sand
8. Lie
9. Lifting Shadows of a Dream
10. Scarred
11. Trial of Tears
 
Hmmm both quite evenly represented there, would be a great combo though I think, although I expect to get flack for track one's choice...But it's probably my favourite MP song drumming wise - soundwise, playing wise, originality and musicality are all in full check.

Sonata Arctica- The days of Grays+Unia
 
Don't Say a Word
Flag in the Ground
The Last Amazing Grays
Black and White
Deathaura
Out in the Fields
Juliet
The Dead Skin
They Follow
No Dream Can Heal A Broken Heart
Good Enough Is Good Enough
In the Dark (Orchestral Version)
 
Really cool game, haven't played it before!!! I spent a lot of time thinking in the order of the songs not in the songs themselves!!! NEver thought about it but if the order is messed up it can make the cd less ejoyable even if the music itself is great!!!
 
 

^ Nice!
