The albums and what (I think) I like most about them:
1. Six Degrees: My favorite version of DT; experimental, virtuostic, melodic, lyrically meaningful, all players at their best pushing boundaries
2. Metropolis Pt 2: Melodic, catchy riffs, re-ocurring themes, each song can stand-alone or as a part of the whole just as well, song-writing at its most cohesive
3. A Dramatic Turn of Events: Fresh, invigorating, melodic (I like this side of them alot), improved with each song, vocals on point, fantastic shorter quiet songs weaved in.
* Train of Thought was a close 4 today. Depending on my mood, I&W or Awake could be in the 3rd spot too. There is no doubt about 1 & 2 for me though, ever.
