What are people’s feelings towards Arc? I see it consistently being ranked towards the bottom of the lists. Do you actively dislike it? Is it just kind of there and you don’t really care about it?
I love it and have a hard time understanding how someone who likes Eddie’s voice wouldn’t find it to be a very successful vocal showcase.

Not a fan of Arc but Ed/the band wanted to acknowledge the tragedy I guess. A somber instrumental might have been a better choice.

I think it's a great piece that adds a ton to the overall experience of Riot Act. However, on its own, though lovely and as you say a nice showcase of Ed's vocals, it's a minor song. I actively like it. I do not dislike it at all. But in my opinion it isn't as good as the others songs that I have ranke above it.

Thanks, I feel less crazy now.
