 My 0.02 to this thread: I really like DT12 and like some of the songs in ADTOE a lot (can´t stand the ballads, sorry...), and yet I still think Mike Portnoy should return to the band some time in the future.

 Another controversial opinion might be the fact that I´ve grown to love The Ministry of the Lost Souls, which seems to get a lot of flak in the forum.

It's a stupidly underrated song here for whatever reason, yeah. I really like it, though. Not their greatest work or anything but it's way better than it gets credit for.

Ministry is one DT song on a relatively small list of songs that I almost never skip. Not necessarily my favorite, but entertaining to listen to all the way through.

Well, I like a couple songs but that's it. Compared to 'omg this album is flawless I love it so hard I've never felt this way about anything before and I'm going to listen to it on a daily, weekly or monthly basis for years and years on end'

I don't listen to it anymore, but yeah I actually really really liked the ministry of lost souls. I mean I liked the entire systematic chaos album (basically) but I was really impressed by it.

In terms of DT12? Well the more I think about it the more peculiar it becomes, I view it as a really great album but there's no doubt it's on a completely different (and new) branch of DT. BTV, IT, FAS, TEI, AFTR, TBP, are the ones that I enjoy. I feel that I liked it more than ADOTE, but I just don't see even the songs that I like on DT12 getting as much rotational play in their catalog as one would expect for a new album.

DT12 is easily in my top 3 albums at this point. I don't really know what the rest of the forum's standpoint on this is so it might be controversial.

I might have already done this but:

WDADU - no weak tracks
IAW - no weak tracks
Awake - I guess I wouldn't consider SDV weak, but I wouldn't miss it if it wasn't there.
FII - You Not Me, Burning My Soul and Just Let Me Breathe are certainly average tracks, but aren't bad at all.
SFAM - no weak tracks
SDOIT - I rank this album highly, but Misunderstood is the weak link. It's just not that interesting.
TOT - As I Am has a boring chorus, but the rest of the song is pretty cool.
8VM - Never Enough is my least favorite on this album, but I wouldn't consider it weak anymore.
SC - Prophets of War. Just, no.
BCSL - Cheeseball Tough guy vox on ANTR, Boring AROP, Boring TBOT... That's half the album.
ADTOE - technically there aren't any weak tracks on this album, but the Images and Words similarities are too glaring to me, so that brings the album down.
DT - no weak tracks

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

I highly prefer the Budokan version of In The Name of God to the studio.
The louder keyboards and the incredible outro completely make up for LaBrie's poor performance imo.  :metal

I'd say SC is my least favorite CD of theirs as well.

I like Haken's 1st 3 albums since 2010 better than DT's last 3 albums.  But, then again that probably isn't extremely controversial.
