@Deke...SDOAT it's surely a great album. anyway, my analysis could seem uncorrect, but I think that It was an error to split the album in two parts..BTW! do you know who of dream theater did write the orchestral composition on that song?

Images And Words

[TheMadnessWithin]

Octavarium.

I would have to say Train of Thought and Systematic Chaos because I like my music to be on the heavier side. In that regard, both of these albums really deliver well. Train of Thought has two of my favs, As I Am and Honor Thy Father, plus some other softer stuff mixed in to keep it fresh. Systematic Chaos is a really concentrated effort, with all the songs from top to bottom being well constructed, plus I love Constant Motion, Dark Eternal Night, and Forsaken (seen them all live, perfectly done of course).

FII wouldn't make my top 5 albums of theirs, and I love everything they've ever done.

'Scenes From A Memory' is near the top of the list; nothing hooks me in like a great concept album. That said, I have a special place in my heart for 'Images and Words' because a) that's the album that introduced me to DT in 1993, and b) it's a fantastic album. I also love 'Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence'. Lots of fans don't like this album very much, and I don't quite understand why. A friend of mine who's a fan described it as "too much of a good thing". I get that, but I disagree entirely. It's a masterpiece of a record.

'Train of Thought' and 'Systematic Chaos' each deserve mention, as does 'Awake'.
