Time to make a poll!
What are your favorite tracks on Inferno? Or the ones that made the biggest impression on first listen?

3 options allowed so we can't choose them all :)

Thanks for this.
I went for Naraka.
Then All reason departs (the second half is mind blowing. )
Couldn’t decide on the third but ended up choosing Word becomes flesh.
It obviously might be too soon to commit any 3 tracks and I’m sure in maybe 6 months time it will be different but that’s me for now.

Yeah to pick only 3 can be difficult, but it'll be interesting to see which ones stand out overall. You can always change your polling answer later if needed :)

My picks were Deep Time, Into the Magic Land and Hydrogen. Truth is it'd have been easier to pick which ones I didn't immediately like, because there aren't many.

Hard to narrow it down to 3. Age of Capricorn is my current favourite but I think we need to do this again in a few months

Arena Americanada is my current fave. I fell in love with That synth on the first listen and it only gets better

Went with You Retreat In Space and Time, Deep Time and Blood in the Labyrinth

Very difficult to narrow down to 3. Hydrogen Helium could've easily taken a spot, same with All Reason Departs.

A ranking system would have been more appropriate but can't do that here.

It would be obvious, according the album title, that Naraka will win this poll :p

You Retreat In Time & Space is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in this passage of time, I can't even begin to express the magnitude of how much I loved it! I also really loved Deep Time and Into The Magic Land! :D

Picked Hydrogen, Deep Time and All Reason Departs, but could also go for Father And Son, You Retreat In Time And Space and Naraka.

I normally have 5 favourite tracks set up on every album I've listened to, and this is no exception. Holy this has so many highlights I can't comprehend to nail down to just 5 favourites, but if I had to pick generously, it would be:

1. You Retreat in Time and Space
2. Naraka
3. Deep Time
4. Arena Americanada
5. Prophecy at 1420 MHz

I'll have a more specific answer after I dig more into the individual tracks, for now I've only listened to the continuous mix. But I'm totally serious when I answer this question with "Inferno," lol!

Can’t do the poll because I literally have 13 tracks marked as favorites.

I'm very pleased to see the poll's distribution the way it is.

Spoiler: show
By which I mean, at the time of posting, it's very even! Everybody likes everything!
