Which album has the most songs you would give 9 or 10 stars out of 10? This is total songs, not which album has the greatest percentage of its songs 9+/10. It is certainly possible that it might not necessarily end up being your "favorite," album, since, as albums are concerned, the sum of the parts do not singularly make up the whole.

For me, it's Six Degrees simply because I'm counting each movement as a separate track (which, for the purposes of this poll, you should, too). If that weren't the case, it would be ADToE, but probably because it still has that new album smell. And this is interesting because Awake's my favorite album!

Liberation

Scenes From a Memory. The only song there I'd give less than 9 is The Dance of Eternity (which is 7 or so).

SDOIT, because 100% is a 10

Liberation

Well, doing it like this... (The 100% certain 10s are underlined)

When Dream and Day Unite - A Fortune in Lies

Octavarium - The Root of All Evil, Sacrificed Sons, Octavarium
Systematic Chaos - Repentance, The Ministry of Lost Souls, In The Presence of Enemies Pt. 2

Images and Words, by far.

I like Awake just as much, or arguably more, but it would probably be fairly low if I ranked the albums like this.

It was between IaW and SDOIT to me, but i went with SDOIT. SFAM is my 2nd favourite DT album, but it only has maybe 1 9/10 song (TSCO).

WDADU - lol. No.
IaW - Another Day, TTT, Metropolis, UAGM, the rest are really close behind though.
Awake - Voices, The Silent Man
FII - Hollow Years, LITS, ToT
SFAM - TSCO
SDOIT - TGP, BF, Misunderstood, Disappear, SDOIT
ToT - As I Am, Vacant, ITNOG
Octavarium - TW, PA, Octavarium
SC - CM, TDEN (I'd give a lot of the rest 8 or 8.5)
BCASL - ANTR, TCOT
ADTOE - Not sure if any can quite nudge to a 9 yet, although TITL, LNF and BITS might eventually.

If SDOIT is counted as separate tracks, then EASILY that.  But if not, then it's really tricky.

SDOIT. All the songs save for Misunderstood are fantastic.

I think you probably need to state how 6DOIT should be counted for the purposes of this thread.  If some people count it as one, and some people count it as eight, then your results could be wildly skewed.

But I&W for me.

I voted Awake because it is my favorite album of Dream Theater's. It is easily in my top 2 albums ever.

I did say how I counted it in the OP.
You needed to tell people how THEY should count it.

Wdadu has no 9/10's on it?

The Killing Hand? Only A Matter of Time? A Fortune in Lies? Afterlife?
