False Awakening Suite
The Enemy Inside
The Looking Glass
Enigma Machine
The Bigger Picture
Behind The Veil
Surrender To Reason
Along For The Ride
Illumination Theory

I've made a few comparisons between Dream Theater and Genesis in the past, particularly like how their 5th album tends to be regarded as one of their best (while their 1st is regarded as one of their worst), their 6th album is a double album, and when this album came out, their 12th album was self-titled. Why wait until the 12th one to make it a self-titled album?! Who knows...

Either way, here's the 9 song album, which for me, is a bit of a mixed bag (more than ADTOE), but it's strengths are pretty strong, so it'll be interesting to see if there's a consensus among fans about those songs!

I honestly expected from the first round that False Awakening Suite would get 99% of the votes. I would have never figured it's already all against all since round one.

Enigma Machine might be my least favourite DT song ever. I'd take Raw Dog and anything on WDADU over it.
