DT12

Once again, ADTOE proves to be the most well liked one of the RoadRunner era, having the most votes in the favorite poll and only one in the least favorite poll. Good to know.

If there was another poll - it should be " Favourite production of the :soon: albums. "

I think The Astonishing or Black Clouds sound the best and Systematic Chaos the least best due to it's hot / dry mastering.

A Dramatic Turn sounds almost demo quality. Probably more so than Systematic Chaos.

Yeah that would be an interesting one as well. I think either TA or Black Clouds would get my vote. Due mainly to the fact that SC, ADTOE, and DT12 are sonically some of the worst in DT's catalog.

TA sounds fantastic, easily the best sounding IMO.

Tough call between SC and TA.
 I went with TA, because while SC had transgressions of its own, at least they were "confined" for lack of a better word. TA has so many varied flaws that you can never say "at least aspect X of the album is consistently good".

Easily BC&SL.  So disappointing.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I notice that people are giving reasons why they dislike all the albums

Except The Astonishing - where " The Astonishing is the worst " and that's it.

The Astonishing is really the path that divides.





:neverusethis:
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

While I think BC&SL has slightly better songwriting than SC, SC has more of a personality, if that makes sense, but it's still hard to not vote for SC, since at least half of the songs have glaring flaws that make me not want to listen to them.  And it's the one DT album to date, IMO, that doesn't have one great song on it.

It's the short answer, that's all.  Most people wouldn't have a couple weeks to explain it in detail.

...AND they're really smug about it.

It's like " Uh yeah - THE ASTONISHING is the worst..Sucks that You like it...  "

I'm not saying I hate The Astonishing and I'm not saying I don't. But I do.

The Astonishing. I really don't like the concept, or the lyrics, and it's way too long to hold my interest.
