    I don't understand why you are all saying Rudess's solo is annoying. it's no different from their other songs with solos

    Rudess' solo in the middle is incredibly annoying.[2] It's fucking terrible.

    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.

    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).

    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
