I didn't include the first three (non-duplicate) pairings, for obvious reasons.
I'm going with the most recent two. Not only the best pairing, but the best two albums of the six outright. :hat
-
A Dramatic Theater of Events
-
I went with ADTOE & DT12 . ADTOE to me is easily the best of the bunch.
-
ADTOE and DT12, easily.

ADTOE and DT12, easily.
Yup. DT12 being their best since Train of Thought and ADTOE being a definite step up from the prior two.
-
TOT & 8VM because it contains my favorite song of all time(Octavarium), as well as the first DT album I ever heard(TOT).
EDIT: Guys, voting ends in 2032! Better hurry or you might miss the boat.
-
I'd say Scenes From Inner Turbulence. Of what you've listed, I'd probably have to go with Trainavarium.
-
ADTOE and DT12 by a lot more than a country mile.
-
Train and 8varium (more memorable songs imo).
-
Train of Thought and Octavarium, easily. My #2 and #5 albums. ADTOE is awesome and my #3, but I'm not so keen on DT12. The other option has 2 albums from the lower half of their discography.
-
Option 3, based on the strength of ADTOE.
-
Trainavarium.

ADTOE and DT12, easily.

Gotta go with #1 for being the most consistent. Every song on ToT and 8VM is excellent, and although DT12 is better than either of those albums, ADTOE had a few elements that bring it down for me, which sucks because with maybe different sounds, or a different mix, I'd like it way better.
-
Octavarium is far and away my favorite album on that list, so I'll take the first choice.
-
Train of Thought and Octavarium
-
Trainavarium.
-
Even though I don't care much for 8vm, I would go with ToT+8VM, because even though ADTOE is the best out of the 6 choices, I would consider DT12 to be among the worst. ToT+8vm is a closer matchup for me.

ADTOE and DT12.
I rank DT12 and ADTOE higher than any of the 4 albums prior to them, so this easy for me.

I went with ToT and 8vm.
ToT was the first album released after I had become a fan. I was still going through their back catalog and digesting everything, but ToT was just a fun ride. So I bounced back and forth between the "new release" and the rest of DT's music. I think when dissected with other albums that have more "depth", ToT doesn't hold up well, but it's the musical equivalent of a popcorn flick. As I Am remains one of their better singles, IMHO. Then with 8vm, it blew me away with the concept and the music (TALW and NE aside).
I feel ever release after I judged a little too harshly. Now fluent with every album, each new release I wanted to be the most amazing experience, rather than focusing in on how the release fits in with the previous discography as a whole.
-
TOT is my favorite of these, and Octavarium is probably third behind ADTOE, so I went with the first option.
-
I'm gonna have to represent the underrepresented black sheep here. ;)
-
Train of Thought and Octavarium are probably my third and fourth favorite albums. But they're all really great.
-
ADTOE and DT12.

ADTOE and DT12.

first set, no thinking necessary
-
SC and BCSL.
-
Train of Thought and Octavarium
That, and it's not even a contest. My next choice would be SC/BCASL.
-
ADTOE and DT12 by a lot more than a country mile.

Train of Thought and Octavarium

BC&SL is by far my favourite album out of all of those, but putting it back to back with SC would kind of drag down the experience quite a lot... so I've gone with ToT and 8V :biggrin:
-
ToT-Octavarium. While Octavarium has some weak songs, it's still one of the best DT albums for me.
-
TOT and Octavarium, definitely. My #3 and #2 DT albums.
