Holy shit man, that is the strangest ranking I've ever seen!   

Even though I hate you for putting I&W at the bottom, it's refreshing to see some opinions that differ drastically from the norm.

EDIT: Here's mine.  Only the top five are definite.

Congrats to Systematic Chaos officially being my least favorite DT album!

I predict BC&SL will fall between 5 and 6, given how optimistic I am about songs like AROP, Wither, TSF, TBOT, and TCOT.

[Setlist Scotty]

I'm splitting discs 1 and 2 of SDoIT apart. Don't like it? Tough!   

SDoIT disc 1
SFaM
BCaSL
WDaDU
IaW
Awake
ToT
8v
FII
SC
SDoIT disc 2

In all honesty, it was very hard for me to pick one specific album over another in a lot of cases, but I didn't want to list anything as a tie, even tho I'd probably say iaW and Awake are tie for me - of course, this list may vary from time to time, but I think it's correct overall. In general, I tried to figure which albums will I listen to more and which albums do I skip less tracks. And no, I am not speculating by listing BCaSL, nor do I think I'm being biased just because it's new.

[BlobVanDam]

SDOIT
IaW
FII
SFaM
8v
SC
Awake
ToT
WDaDU


Hard to rank the lower stuff, because it's a decision between albums with less songs I love, but they're top songs for me, or albums with plenty of pretty good tracks but lot a lot of standouts

I'm splitting discs 1 and 2 of SDoIT apart. Don't like it? Tough!   

SDoIT disc 1
...all of their other albums...
SDoIT disc 2

Splitting the discs makes my blood boil! It's one album, plain and simple!

That aside, how can your opinions on the two discs be so split? I don't think I've ever known anyone to rank Disc 1 as the best overall and Disc 2 as the worst overall. This is madness!

At any rate, here are my rankings (arranged in threes for no reason other than to save space):

3.BCaSL

Really?

Yes. Each album generally has something I will skip. Disc 1 of SDoIT does not. SFaM maybe 1 or 2. Right now, BCaSL doesn't not, but just in case there is some bias because of newness, I'm ranking it beneath SFaM.

I'm splitting discs 1 and 2 of SDoIT apart. Don't like it? Tough!   

SDoIT disc 1
...all of their other albums...
SDoIT disc 2

Splitting the discs makes my blood boil! It's one album, plain and simple!

That aside, how can your opinions on the two discs be so split? I don't think I've ever known anyone to rank Disc 1 as the best overall and Disc 2 as the worst overall. This is madness!

Not madness at all. The 2 discs are completely different, and while I love disc 1 and feel no need to skip any tracks, I can't say the same for disc 2. I'm not gonna say that disc 2 doesn't have some cool and well written stuff, but overall, it's the disc I probably listen to the least.
