How is Awake ranked below TOT and SDOIT?
How is I&W ranked below 6DOIT?
How is Octavarium not number 8?

I can see how Awake ranked below SDOIT.  Not sure about ToT.
I rank SDOIT higher than I&W, so that makes sense.
8VM could've easily been #8.  Just didn't happen.

How is Awake ranked below TOT and SDOIT?
How is I&W ranked below 6DOIT?
How is Octavarium not number 8?

Because opinions?

Yup, and also if you watch CKN's other videos, it is easily apparent he is a metal fan. So SDOIT & TOT being high is not a surprise.

Was giving this some serious thought the other day. Rankings are really based on which ones I go back to and can listen to over and over again, but I guess that's a given

1 SFAM
2 SDOIT
3 ADTOE
4 Awake
5 I & W
6 SC
7 TOT
8 Octavaium
9 FII
10 BC&SL
11 DT
12 WDADU
13 The Astonishing

[Anxiety35]

How is Octavarium not number 8?

Because opinions?

In reality, it's better than 8, but since that whole album revolved around 8, it should go there on a ranking list.

Here is his ranking from bottom to top:

13. WDADU
12. The Astonishing
11. ADTOE
10. Systematic Chaos
9. Self Titled
8. FII
7. Octavarium
6. BCSL
5. Awake
4. Train of Thought
3. I&W
2. 6DOIT
1. SFAM

How is Awake ranked below TOT and SDOIT?
How is I&W ranked below 6DOIT?
How is Octavarium not number 8?

With the exception of Scenes from a Memory and Images and Words, I don’t agree with his list at all. The two biggest things for me are Octavarium, The Astonishing, and A Dramatic Turn of Events being ranked way too low and Train of Thought and Black Clouds & Silver Linings being ranked way too high.

[pg1067]

1. SFAM (best song: Home or Fatal Tragedy)
2. I&W (best song: Metropolis or Learning to Live)
3. SDOIT (best "song" is the title track or Blind Faith)
4. TOT (best song: Stream of Consciousness)
5. Awake (best song: Scarred)
6. DT12 (best song: Illumination Theory)
7. ADTOE (best song: Breaking All Illusions)
8. Octavarium (best song is the title track)
9. BC&SL (best song: Wither
10. FII (best song: Hell's Kitchen)
11. WDADU (best song: The Killing Hand or Only a Matter of Time)
12. Systematic Chaos (best song: Constant Motion)
13. The Astonishing (best song: none)

I feel like 4 and 5 could flip-flop pretty easily, and the same is true of 6-8.  I may reconsider The Astonishing one of these days if I feel like devoting a couple hours uninterrupted to it, but it's just never clicked with me the 3-4 times I've tried it so far.
