Note - Posting this one up a bit early, and given that the max number of votes we've had in any given round so far has been 40, no other album could beat ADTOE with 4 more votes, so here we go...(apologies to the 3-4 people who hadn't voted yet!)

By an overwhelming majority, ADTOE is now out, leaving behind what many fans consider the band's four best albums, oddly enough, both pairs are the 1st and 2nd albums with new members - IAW and Awake with James LaBrie, and SFAM and SDOIT with Jordan Rudess (though that trend did NOT carry over when Mike Mangini joined the band). Of these four, though, which will be the first to go? I think I'll be voting off Awake this round.

Possibly. Normally I'd go with number 1, but it seems that most fans here are more into the JR lineup.

Awake

[Crow]

wow dtf still sucks in 2016, who knew

[The Letter M]

LOL @ people who think that an album that's in the TOP FOUR of THIRTEEN is an album they hate simply because they prefer the other three.

If they hated it, they would have been voting for it since round 1. I think a lot of the Awake voters are ones who just really prefer the other three, but are comfortable with Awake being in their own Top 4 or 5. I doubt anyone who has a ranking system would hate anything beyond their top  - why even HAVE a ranking after 3 then?!

Survivors aren't about voting for which album you "hate more", it's about voting for your "least favorite" of the available options.

In fact, you can't assume that either.. For example, I don't hate FII, but it's the album I'd have been voting since first round if it hadn't been eliminated yet..

But yeah.. Of course we don't necessarily hate the albums we vote for.. We just cosider them least favorites than others.... or at least that'd be the case if we all would be following the rules, which I know is not happening anyway..

This is true. I may implement not allowing Votes to be seen until the round is closed, just to prevent defensive or offensive voting, that is, voting for another song to "save" your own favorite, or similar tactics. I don't think anyone would mind if I did that, right?
