Marion Crane

WDADU and Awake no question.  Very close third would be Octavarium

Mladen

WDADU and FII

I'd sure miss Trial of tears, Peruvian skies, A Fortune in lies, Afterlife and Only a matter of time, though.

Destiny Of Chaos

This verbatim. Luckily, I'd have Live at Budokan for my ToT fix :D

I would get rid of WDADU and probably the 2nd disc of SDOIT.

Took the words right out of my mouth

Destiny Of Chaos

WDADU and ADTOE (one of the 2 that voted for it, hipster time)

am i the only one who LOOOOOOOOOOOVES WDADU?

I don't know if I would say I love it, but I like it a lot.  By first album standards, it is very, very good, and by DT standards, it is good (not as good as their best 6-7, but certainly better than their least best albums).

The King in Crimson

Black Clouds and Train of Thought

Very little redeeming on those two.

Dark Castle

Train of Thought and WDADU easily.
Very little worth keeping on WDADU and nothing worth keeping on ToT.

No, you're not. My third favourite behind Awake and I&W.

I'm a little shocked to see that 8c is more unfavorable than I think. I also dislike some songs in 8C. For example, for panick attack is really simillar with Muse's song, I don't like it. But I think there are great songs in 8C as in other albums, and distinctive concept of 8C has an its own advantage compared to other albums except SFAM.(actually, in the view of concept, SFAM is greater than 8C...) I don't know why many dislike 8C. Can sombody tell me why?

Because other than the title track, it's not very good.

Yeah, this. I love TROAE and These Walls, and Sacrificed Sons is pretty good too, but the rest of the album ranges from ok to poor and DT went overboard with those obvious influences.

BC&SL is always an album that i wanted to get rid of. If i have to pick other one, it would be SC.

Meatrose

So, two albums have to go. The albums I considered for elimination were When Dream And Day Unite, Falling Into Infinity, Train of Thought and Systematic Chaos. Octavarium is saved by the title track.

It's a tough choice but in the end I would probably have to go with WDADU and FII. I rarely listen to anything from ToT or SC though.

Poor WDADU! :'( The results would be less obvious if it wasn't an option.



Very true.  I chose it almost soley based on the production. 

If it were an option I would have chosen ACOS instead of WDADU.  I guess if I HAD TO get rid of two regular albums, I probably just would have stuck with my two votes of WDADU even though I love the album and BC&SL because I find the lyrics atrocious.

Awake and FII. It was close between FII and Octavarium but I think I would miss Octavarium (the song) more than Trial of Tears, the only redeeming songs on those otherwise very poor albums.

For me BC&SL and Octavarium, which BTW are the ones I listen to the less anyway.

Full Speed

WDADU and SC. Only song I like on SC is PoW and I wouldn't miss it very much. WDADU never really did it for me. I pretty much never listen to it now as it is.
