The song is good, but it is one of their more overrated tracks.

The Glass Prison reprise in the last minute of this song never fails to give me shivers no matter how many times I listen to it. So excellent.

Rudess' solo in the middle is incredibly annoying.

ROTFL Repentance is one of the most beautiful things they ever made. Opeth + Wilson + DT. amazing. hypnotic. all that vocals... best lyrics from all 12 step suite. And of course all gueast appearence Akerfeldt, Hogarth, Wilson, Moorse and so on... magic. top 10 DT for me.

It seems no one can agree which is best :) Glass Prison is my favourite but they are all fantastic... except Repentance which I think is a bit rubbish and really drags down Systematic Chaos (which otherwise I love).

The Shattered Fortress > Repentance > Root of All Evil > Glass Prison > Dying Soul IMO.

I like all of the songs in the suite equally, though I'm getting annoyed by the Root of All Evil since I've heard it too many times when I was learning to play it.

One of my favorites in the suite. For some reason I'm really enchanted by the guitar solo. And Rudess's solo on it is the best of his on the album

You're right, I never realized that because it's too low o__O

It's not just the white noise from Glass Prison that you hear, it's also the same stuff that you hear at the beginning of The Root of All Evil. I think it's there just to signal the end of the series; to bring everything to a conclusion.

camilo_d yea I sort of agree with you. You would think the song would end a bit more uplifting and not repeat what has already happened.
