5 of my top 6 DT albums are in the second half, with only the 4th (SDoiT) being in the first half, so second half it is. No contest.

Even though Six Degrees and Scenes are two of my all time fave albums, I became a fan at TOT and everything after so I went with post TOT.

Easy decision. I love early DT but post-Train of Thought has the greatest metal album ever recorded.

My top 6 DT albums (the real heavyweights) are evenly split between the first and second half of their career, so it's hard to decide for me.

1. I&W - 1st half
2. TOT - 2nd half
3. ADTOE - 2nd half
4. SFAM - 1st half
5. 8VM - 2nd half
6. Awake - 1st half

If I go further down the list though, 3 of my bottom 4 DT albums are the remaining three from the 1st half. So I guess 2nd half comes out on top looking at things as a whole - but I struggle to vote against a group that has I&W in it when it's a close decision!
Whoaaaahh, ohhh, ohhhhh. Whoaaaahh, ohhhhh, ohhhhhh. Waaah, ahhh, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaowwwwww

I think it is interesting that Jordan is winning the pre/post JR poll, but pre-ToT is winning this poll very handily. I guess it's safe to say that most agree DT's best work with JR is on the first two albums?

Definitely pre-ToT. The only discs out of that bunch that I'm not as fond of are FII and the second disc of SDoIT.

Same here.

My mind's that scrambled from all these polls that I can't remember when I came on board  ???

I knew that was coming!
Quote from: wkiml on June 08, 2012, 09:06:35 AMwould have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Quote from: Stadler on February 08, 2025, 12:49:43 PMI wouldn't argue this.

Edit to my commentary above : I love both halves of their discography, but the first half remain the best by far!! :yarr
