Judging by that other thread about "The Holy Trinity", it seems like this is an unpopular opinion: I think DT12 is a top 3 (possibly top 2) DT album

I think it's probably a top 5 album, but top 3, not likely.

Another controversy opinion in a similar vein: FII may well be a top 3 album and is definitely a top 5 album.

Amen, brother. FII is shit on far too often, aside from YNM (which isn't bad, just kinda there), it's awesome all the way through.

My holy trinity: Six Degrees - Awake - FII

Kotowboy · « **Reply #6372 on:** July 03, 2015, 01:59:22 AM »

Already said it in a previous thread but - my *un*-holy trinity.

10. Systematic Chaos
11. Awake
12. When Dream And Day Unite.

Unpopular for sure. Maybe it's just me, but retrospective opinions on the album seem to be pretty lukewarm at best. I think it's well within the top half of their discography for me.

I put it right besides BC&SL at the bottom

I agree with the latter half of your post, BCSL deserves to be at the dead bottom.

While the production does get a lot of flak (reasonably so), I have seen a lot of criticism regarding the song-writing as well.

A Dream Theater album receiving criticism for a reason or another... it seems pretty much the same as most of their other albums to me

Can't decide on the second place there.

Unholy trinity is obviously

10. When Dream and Day Unite
11. Systematic Chaos
12. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence

de_fromage · « **Reply #6382 on:** July 03, 2015, 06:56:55 PM »

No, the unholiest one:

BC
&SL
DT12

And that's it.

WDADU, DT12, ADTOE.

If I deleted those albums, it would be no loss to my music listening.

Black Clouds, SC and WDADU.

Again, my opinion quoted the other thread:
10. TOT
11. SC
12. BCSL

Honestly I still definitely like TOT, and either like or feeling neutral about half of SC and BCSL. There are a few moments, and a LOT of moments I hate about both of the last 2 albums, but I wouldn't go as far as saying I could ignore BCSL entirely.

Bottom 3 rankings for me :

10. BCSL/SFAM (tie)

11. SC
12. ToT

10. Systematic Chaos
11. Black Clouds & Silver Linings
12. When Day and Dream Unite

Easily.

Honestly, the only song of these I couldn't live without would be The Count of Tuscany.

haha yeah. if you could somehow have the last 3 minutes of The Best Of Times in The Count Of Tuscany - that would be the only song from Black Clouds I would listen to.

WDADU shouldn't even be in the last ones.

My controversial opinion: I dislike The Count of Tuscany, and Octavarium as an album (although the song is my favourite, the album is meh)

It has been a sad couple of days for Systematic Chaos

abydos · « **Reply #6399 on:** July 05, 2015, 09:17:15 AM »

Octavarium (the song) could have actually been great if it was 12 minutes long. And why did they leave that lisp or whatever it is in the end of James "screaming" Octavarium? It's like scratching a chalk board every time I hear it.

I can't hear whatever it is you're talking about at the end of Intervals.
Also Octavarium is perfect as it is.

NotePad · « **Reply #6401 on:** July 05, 2015, 10:09:06 AM »

I have some opinions that I think are uncommon for the average DT fan.

My least favorite DT albums are I&W and SFAM. It's hard to put into words what it is about those albums that doesnt appeal to me so much. On I&W I really like Another Day, Surrounded and and Wait For Sleep. Other than that, I think it might be that that the rest of the songs are TOO proggy for me... There's too much wankery' for my taste, which is why I prefer albums like Awake and 8VM. The same goes for SFAM, other then a few songs and sections.

And although I see ADToE as pretty much the same a!bium as I&W, I actually do like it a lot. Because it's a modern production its more metal than I&W. Plus it has Bridges In The Sky, whereas I&W does not. There's just something about I&W that is just very boring.

James thends to spell "th" plenty of times, lol, I don't see how is that an issue.
Just hear some of their pre-2000 albums and you'll be pretty surprised.

Where? Even if that's the case, it hasn't been a problem until this part because it's so obvious and bad. And he doesn't do it live.
