Favorite Group of 4 Albums (Every 3rd)
« on: April 29, 2014, 06:54:37 PM »
Pretty self-explanatory. I already did the group of 6 (every other album), and Shine (kind of) did the group of 3 (every fourth album), so I figured I'd go for the other divisor of 12 and make you all choose from 3 groups of 4 albums.

Almost immediately I decided to pick Option 2, but there's some great stuff on Option 3 as well, so I may have to sit and think on this one.

Option #1 sorta seems like it has all the underdogs. But it's got great stuff on every choice.. Kinda too hard to pick this one.

Awake and SDOIT are good enough to make up for DT12 and SC, both of which I don't care for, so I voted option 3

Well option #2 has 3 of my top 4 albums and one that's usually around 5/6 as well so it's not a hard choice

Easily IAW - SFAM - 8VM - ADTOE.

Unfortunately SDOIT got stuck with all weaker albums, so it had no chance.

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

SFAM and I&W are my #1 and 2 favorite albums, along with a couple of mid tier albums... Vs. SC and DT12, my #3 and #4 favorite albums with a couple more mid tier albums. No contest.

Option 2, although I'm not the biggest fan of Octavarium.

Too close!

My favourites are IAW, SDoIT, Octavarium and DT, which are... two from column B, two from column C. The runners up would probably be Systematic Chaos and A Dramatic Turn of Events, which still doesn't narrow it down at all. And SfaM and Awake complete both sets as similarly solid and good Dream Theater albums.

So, er, I don't have an answer! "Not A," I suppose? I legitimately like both albums, but BCSL and WDADU sit in 11th and 12th respectively, and while Train of Thought is quite strong, Falling into Infinity is good-not-great.

Option 2 is miles ahead of the others, since it contains my #1, #4, #5 and #3 albums

Option 2 seems to be most consistent... But option 3 has my 1st and 2nd favorite albums. Very tough.

Just bumping to see what newer members here might vote and say, and I'm curious if anyone else will pick anything but option 2.

Not sure what this answer/reply is... None of these albums are in any group together as stated in the poll and its options.

Considering the second option has my Top 4 albums, I went with that.

Yeah, I wanted to pick the 3rd option but unfortunately DT12 ruined it.  :\

Had to settle for option 2.  :yeahright

Nice to have an easy choice for once!

IAW - SFAM - 8VM - ADTOE

Contains my top 3 DT albums. (SFaM, ADToE, 8VM in that order)

This is interesting btw. It's got me thinking. Based on this pattern, DT14 will be amazing for my taste.
