The match of the titans get won for me by A Change of Seasons. But we're discussing a Ferrari vs a Lamborghini here.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Octavarium.

Octavarium is more consistently good front to back, where ACOS has some meh instrumental bits, and the beat ending goes to Octavarium. But ACOS just has this magical quality that is just hard to beat. I give it to ACOS.

For me Octavarium. That song is what fully had me all the way hooked on Dream Theater. Nothing will ever top it.  (But it will be close! ;))

It's extremely tight, but Octavarium takes it for me, being the song that got me into DT in the first place.

It would be interesting to see if this is the common case; given that we're discussing two utter masterpieces who are wonderful and majestic and a benchmark for the entire genre, I wonder if older fans who lived for years with A Change of Seasons still prefer that, and if newer fans who discovered DT thanks to Octavarium are more fond of that song.

Octavarium is currently in danger of ending its grip on the DT League Championship, having won every edition of this tournament bar the first in 2013.
