Favorite DT album cover

[Phoenix87x]

FII, although Awake is close.

I love Storm Thorgersson's work.

Agreed. I used to be mesmerized by that cover when I was a kid and I also love Storm Thorgersson's work.

[Madman Shepherd]

I really like the concept of the A Change of Seasons artwork....but not so much the execution

[The King in Crimson]

Octavarium, Scenes and Systematic Chaos top my list.  Six Degrees and Train of Thought come next.

Awake is probably my least favorite.  I don't like the colors, the style of the art, the cluttered imagery and the attempts at 'over-nuggeting' the cover.  I avoided the album for a long time because of that.

A Dramatic Turn of Events. I love its colourful and simplistic look. For me it also somehow reflects the whole album very well.

I disagree. I think the color scheme of the cover looks a little too cheerful for a "Dramatic" turn of events. And the actual music on the album is a lot darker. But if the tone of the actual album doesn't matter, it is a really pretty image.

[Unlegit]

Train of Thought.

Awake is probably my least favorite.  I don't like the colors, the style of the art, the cluttered imagery and the attempts at 'over-nuggeting' the cover.  I avoided the album for a long time because of that.

I'm not a big fan of the "nuggety" ones either, like BCASL and IaW, which I think are both weak covers, although the Awake one isn't bad imo. Even though it's that same nuggety style, I think it still has strong enough focus to work as an image, and it has more of a vibe to it that matches the album.
Glad to say I never avoided a DT album because of the cover, or else they'd be in trouble.

I like most of the DT covers.
ToT and ADTOE represent the content of the album perfectly imo

[Ruba]

I have never liked cover of 6 Degrees. And WDADU is kinda weird.

The others are great. I went with Awake.

[Rattlehead]

I went with ToT, I always loved the cover of it since the first second I saw it  I like all of their album covers though besides WDADU. 

[GasparXR]

Went with Awake. Fairly busy, but contains the good nuggets. I&W, 8V and ADTOE are fairly close.

[Mladen]

I chose Awake. It kinda changes most of the time, I like almost all of them.

I can't believe Train of thought is doing this well, that album cover never really did anything for me.

I entered this thread to post "Tenement Funster/Flick of the Wrist/Lily of the Valley" but then I noticed you were taking a poll about art and re-read the subject...

Scenes From A Memory. But that vote is probably for the iconic nature of it's instant association with the band.

Art wise, I'd have to vote Octavarium.

[Ruba]

I'm really surprised that I&W has so little votes.

[BlobVanDam]

I'm really surprised that I&W has so little votes.

Well let's just say the cover doesn't *quite* match up to the quality of the music and leave it at that.

[Grinch]

Don't really get what you see about the Octavarium cover. Went with SFAM.

[mallorier]

SFAM easily takes the cake for me...I would have it in poster form on my wall if such a poster existed 

[tuto]

I dont know why, but when I first saw the Train Of Thought cover, combined with hearing the As I Am intro, it creeped me out  but now its my favorite cover and fav. album

Who'd have thought.

[ToT-147]

"Dream Theater" is my pick...

I think this post needs an updating...

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

Wait, didn't we just have a thread like this yesterday? Where'd it go?
