How similar tastes can be.... ;)
Not easy...
I've chosen: Purgatory Road, and Shattered Rooms ;)
It's a tie: Lara Moon or Opera Fanatica, but I chose the latter one. It simply feels like it's made for me: 14 minutes of extravaganza! :D

You could have chosen two, right....

... exactly the same as me!! I think they are both better than "Opera... " which is, IMO, not so original as the other two....
But the whole album, for me, is excellent!!
Opera Fanatica for me :)
I voted for 'The shattered room'. I could have voted twice (I saw that after I clicked), but I like the other songs equally.
Purgatory Road and Opera Fanatica. Both fantastic tracks. :)
I hope the do both of these on tour! :-[
Maybe these polls and posts might help the final decision... ;)

There is a bit of a pattern emerging, isn't there ;D
WOOO, Im the first one to pic Bedlam Fayre. I picked that and Purgatory Road! ;D
Opera Fanatica, and Smoke Mirrors. Don't know why, they just clicked better.
and mirrors infact.
Heey I'm still the only voter for the Eyes of Lara Moon, feels kinda lonely, who helps me?
Find it impossible with this album to name a favourite track somehow!! All I can say is it's not The Shattered Room (great name for a forum though ;) ) and it's not Tantalus.

Oh maybe Opera Fanatica would also be a name, or Smoke and Mirrors.

Or Purgatory Road, or Eyes Of Lara Moon.. Bedlam Fayre not too bad either..

Ok You just forgot Tantalus, otherwise You would have had them all, but I don't think that Tantalus would be a name for a shatroom. Some other name Waiting for the Flood. wouldn't that be a good name, just like a dutch song "T'is een kwestie van geduld rustig wachten op de dag dat heel Holland Limburgs lult" (It's just a question of patience just wait for the day that the all the people in Holland will speak Limburgs)

Voted for "The Shattered Room" and "Purgatory Road". ;)

Differ from you, I think that this number is one of the worst Arena tracks ever. Sorry.
Smoke and Mirrors and the Eyes of Lara Moon
Purgatory Road was up there too, but I decided to vote tactically! 8)
It's so difficult when all songs are great. I, too, chose The Eyes Of Lara Moon, but Purgatory Road and Opera Fanatica were an option, too
Easy!
Shattered Room and Opera Fanatica!
Oh shit... Tantalus is also great...
oh... and Smoke And Mirrors too...
Argh... I've forgotten Lara Moon...
You get it, right? 8)
So much time has gone by since my last post in this thread, and still I'm the only one who's favourite track is Bedlam Fayre. I must say though, that I previously thaught my favourite track was Purgatory Road.
Pretty sure I still like Bedlam Fayre though :D :D :D
I still like Purgatory Road & Opera Fanatica... ;D

I have to agree with these two choices. Though there are no bad songs on the album, I like Purgatory Road and Opera Fanatica best!

Moonloop probably wanted to say "Favourite track

You're not english in any shape or form, are you, Peter? Think I read that somewhere... Off is fine. With two f's

It is actually supposed to be spoken like this:- "Favorite track
off of Pepper's Ghost." Just saying off is yet another example of the shortened or 'lazy' English language.
Not a problem though, I do it as well, everyone does... :)
It's either Favourite track of Pepper's Ghost or Favourite track off of Pepper's Ghost.
With Favourite track off Pepper's Ghost you suggest the favourite track of all of the albums, all but Pepper's Ghost.
But I'm no real English-speaker. Forgive my Dutchness.
my Favourites are: Purgatory Road and Opera Fanatica :)

Ok, think of it like this:
Purgatory Road is a track which can be found
on the Pepper's Ghost album.
Therefore, Purgatory Road is
on Pepper's Ghost.
My favorite track is Purgatory Road, which can be played
off of the Pepper's Ghost album.
Therefore, my favorite track
off Pepper's Ghost is Purgatory Road.
Do you see? :)

You forgot the extra 'of'.
(You all should speak Dutch. That would be much easier for everyone here in Holland.)
Hey folks, it was me who brought up the question, and I hereby declare: it's been answered. Completely. To full extent. Sufficiently. Return on topic now.
Btw, my favourites are still Purgatory Road and Opera Fanatica. ;D
Mine are still Opera Fanatica and Shattered Room. (In that order).
But Tantalus is gaining more land now.

Hmm... so are mine! ;D
Favorites?
Shattered Room
Opera Fanatica
Smoke & Mirrors
But like someone else said, theyre all good. It's hard to pick any out.
I am walking around humming Bedlam Fayre at the moment...
i wonder who else voted bedlam fayre? I still like that one and purgatory road, my votes are truthes to this day
After playing it for the first few times Bedlam Fayre, The Eyes Of Lara Moon and Opera Fanatica were the stand out tracks but now after several hundred plays it's The Shattered Room very closly followed by all the rest. I get the feeling that this is another Contagion, favorite track just keeps changing.
"Opera Fanatica" with no doubt! I fell in love with this song since the first time I heard it. Now I usualy play it 6 or 7 times per day... =S.
I also voted for "The Shattered Room", but I love all the songs.
WEBBY
Nice new sig dude!! :)
I cant beleive that my 2 favourite tracks -Smoke & Mirrors and Tantalus are so low in this poll..........
John's haunting guitar in smoke & mirrors makes me regret that I never took lessons and is easily one of my alltime favourite songs from any band not just Arena.
Tantalus is more of a slow burner that just has to be played very loud. If it isn't loud it is a waste of time putting it on.
The Shattered room is also a cracker
Since I heard that the new DVD is called 'Smoke & Mirrors' I seem to be wandering around humming "Smoke & Mirrors" at the moment... ;D
Opera Fanatica for me, especially for the last few minutes - it really takes things out on a high. Fantastic way to end an album ;D
