Train of Thought, by far. A beautiful, and creative cover that none of the others comes close to.

Runner ups: (in no order)
I&W
Octavarium
SFAM
BC&SL
Awake

What's with the love for 8VM? I always thought it's a jumble of meaningless item.
SDOIT, that's where it's at.

I have no problem with the Octavarium cover, but yeah Six Degrees is my favourite. I like the abstractness of it.

Ariich is a freak, or somehow has more hours in the day than everyone else.

Funny. I always thought it was one of their less jumbled covers.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who doesn't get all the love for the Octavarium cover. It's by no means a bad cover (and I can understand that people like simplicity to some extent), but at the same time, nothing stands out about it.

I think it's cool primarily because I like Newton's Cradles.  Otherwise, meh.

Scenes, with 6 Degrees and Octavarium tied for second.

Although A Change of Seasons may top any of them.

Always had a soft spot for TOT.  Awake comes in second.

For me, Awake, followed closely by 8VM.

I love the cover of Train of Thought.  It was the singular reason I listened to that album first.  I looked at all of the covers, and went "this one." 

Honorable mentions go to Octavarium (my next choice, solely based on covers), and BC&SL.

It looks cool.  Lush grass, the shiny newton's cradle....it just looks nice.  Some of the others are too busy.  Octavarium's cover is relaxing to look at.

This. It's soothing on the eyes.
