The hell. Wither is the only song dragging BC&SL down from being a top 3 album.
I think Wither is easily the best song on the album.

Wither is a top 10 DT song for me. Partly because I love the video for it.

The video is great.  Possibly DT's best (although that isn't really saying much lol).

My Controversial Opinion on DT : I think Mike Portnoy is going to make an album where he is the lead singer, and not play drums.

And by "bottom tier" I mean "last place."

Would Neal Morse be a good keyboard player for DT?   I am of two minds on this subject.
I am sure people have controversial opinions about it.

IMO, no.  I mean, he is a fantastic keyboardist (and musician in general).  But metal is not his style at all.  But then again, it was not Jordan's either originally, so...  :dunno:

He would not do justice to Jordan's stuff for sure.  Only he knows how to make the sounds he makes.

controversial opinion.    Dream Theater should collaborate with Lindsey Stirling and make a youtube video with her.

In my top tier of Dream Theater albums, I don't have Six Degrees. I think the album is a little tough to get through from start to finish, and I've never loved "The Great Debate".

Instead of SDOIT, I have the self-titled album rounding out my favorites, alongside Images, Awake, and Scenes.

I think DT12 is far better than many give it credit for being, but even I can't place it that high.

The self titled album, the one before The Astonishing.
DT12 is the de facto nickname for it here (being DT's 12th album) because self titling an album is silly and confusing.

DT12 easily. :lol I don't really dislike DT12, I just find it the most unremarkable of all their albums, no real high points at all except for the orchestral break the band didn't play on.
If I were comparing Awake as a whole to DT12 though, easily Awake. While things always get bogged down by my dislike of the tail end, everything up to and including The Mirror ranges from great to excellent.

Cool.
Yeah, I dunno, I'm kinda tired of trying to figure out and explain my love of DT12. It's probably due to the fact that I was somewhat underwhelmed by the preceeding 2 albums. ADTOE I liked a lot when it first came out, and felt like a proper return to form for DT, but it didn't grow on me as well, and DT12 just felt refreshing for some reason. I still regard it quite highly.

Unfortunately, you may be right.  For myself, it's a turn off for the record and the show.... for the first time ever. No epic songs, too much ballads.  The heavier songs are not amazing.
