1. I&W
2. TOT
3. ADTOE

Important to notice that ADTOE is also getting the "new material bonus points" here, every album when is new is always very well seen, well i know not necesarilly (as in the case of SC)... but still... it is only when time passes when you can really compare with older material...

Talking about SC, I have the imnpression it actually has become more and mroe appreciated with time... so this could even work the other way around... haha

And not that I have anything againts ADTOE, it is in fact an amazing album

Still my favorite 3 are: I&W, SFAM and SDOIT

Fluffy Lothario · « **Reply #40 on:** October 10, 2011, 04:02:20 AM »

6DOIT
SFAM
ADTOE

Not necessarily in that order.

FII has a fair bit of material I really like too, though there's a bit too much that isn't very strong as well.

Currently my top 3 are

Six Degrees
Images and Words
Surprise.... Systematic Chaos

Octavarium is currently 4 and I've thought about making it 3 the other day. ADToE is rising fast the more I listen to it the more I enjoy it.

energythief · « **Reply #48 on:** October 12, 2011, 01:22:13 AM »

1. SFAM
2. I&W
3. ADTOE

So basically the actual results.

kirksnosehair · « **Reply #49 on:** October 12, 2011, 06:35:19 AM »

Right now it's:

1. Images & Words
2. Scenes From a Memory
3. A Dramatic Turn of Events

BRGM · « **Reply #50 on:** October 12, 2011, 07:41:27 AM »

SDOIT, just love every song on that album, it's all gold!

A Dramatic Turn of Events, doesn't have one song I wanna skip, they're all great - awesome

Train of Thought! This surprised me actually, but it has lotsa great stuff, Vacant is their best ballad along with disappear, SoC is definetely top 10 material, ITNOG is great as well, This Dying Soul is verry good too, and Honor thy father and Endless sacrifice is also very enjoyable, As I Am is cool I guess, nothing special though.

Images & Words and Awake are 1 and 1A

Scenes From A Memory gets a slight nod over Six Degrees for third.

Nekov · « **Reply #55 on:** October 12, 2011, 12:20:00 PM »

SFAM
I&W
SDOIT

In that order. SDOIT used to be second but lately I've been listening to I&W a lot and falling in love with Kevin Moore.

On another note, it amazes me that so many people would put ADTOE in the podium. I'll wait till we do this again in a year or so to see how it grows on people.

CrimsonSunrise · « **Reply #56 on:** October 12, 2011, 01:33:24 PM »

1. AWAKE
2. I&W's
3. 6DOIT

If I had to pick three albums right now it would have been these:
1.I&W
2.SFAM
3.Tied between ADTOE and Awake

But in reality it's impossible for me to have three favorite albums from DT. Because I love each of the albums equally.

I don't know why, but I love that you love Awake as much as I do.

I don't have a #3 at the moment.

Awake
Six Degrees
I&W

ADTOE might be fourth. I feel that, overall, I like it more than SFAM, but I don't know if that's the 'OMG NEW ALBUM!!!!1111' feeling or something more longlasting.

Microdomus · « **Reply #65 on:** October 12, 2011, 10:29:58 PM »

My top 3 based upon various circumstances, looks like this:

1. Black Clouds & Silver Linings
2. A Dramatic Turn of Events
3. Images & Words

yeshaberto · « **Reply #66 on:** October 12, 2011, 10:42:40 PM »

SFAM
8VM (which is surpisingly lower than I expected)
SDOIT (primarily for the title track)

Yeah, the heavy 3!!! I like it!!

I seem to get more out of these albums then any of the others (including ADToE). Maybe I'm just predisposed to their heavier material, but not everything off of Awake and BC&SL is all metal, either. Those albums just seem to be the most cohesive and solid to me.

Orion1967 · « **Reply #68 on:** October 13, 2011, 11:24:22 AM »

I&W
SFAM (straight up tie with 8VM but I had to pick only one)
