That was actually really tough. Aside from the ones separated, those top ones are very consistent in quality. I know it's weird that I ranked The Silent Man so high, but I love the shorter melodic songs that DT do, and it fits nicely into AMBI.

 I've been listening to all of the Dream Theater albums at the gym each morning since I'm seeing them live on October 11th

I listened to Awake this morning.  It's an album I really HATED when it was first released, but have grown to consider a top 5 album over the years.

I'd rank the tracks this way:

01. Erotomania
02. Caught In A Web
03. Voices
04. Scarred
05. 6:00
06. The Mirror
07. Lie
08. Innocence Faded
09. Lifting Shadows Off A Dream
10. The Silent Man

6. Lie
7. Space dye-Vest

Something like that.  As I always feel like clarifying in ranking threads, just because it's at the bottom of my list doesn't mean I don't like it.

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

It's strange, because when I first started getting in to Dream Theater, I really did not like Awake at all.
I thought it was just strange, or something to that effect, I can't remember what I initially thought about it.

But, lately, it grew on me SO MUCH I can't even begin to describe how it rose from the ashes of my least played list...

It's a top 3 album for me... No... 4? I don't even know, it's so hard to rank Dream Theater albums...
:huh:

All I know is, you chose CIAW as your favorite off Awake, and that makes you cool in my books.

Scarred (top 3 DT)

Space Dye Vest (hated this for so long, but now realised its just got a chilling quality unlike any other DT song, and is an awesome end to the album)
6:00 (love the groove, and progressiveness of this one)
Erotomania (the song that got me into DT)
Voices
Innocence Faded (what an outro)
LSOAD
The Silent Man
Caught in a Web
Lie (only thing I like about this song is the solo, and the reprise of the Mirror)
