As a little filler survivor, I figured I'd do a short one for the five TA Albums! Vote for your least favorite whole album here - I have a feeling Kaleidoscope may be the first to go!

The Whirlwind

It was either that or The Absolute universe, but I've been listening to the latter a lot lately, so, yeah...

Voted Kaleidoscope, but I'd be curious as to what the rankings would be if you split TAU into the 2 versions instead of lumping them into one. I know I'm in the minority of preferring TBoL over FM, but it would be interesting to see how people in general rank both versions in comparison to the rest of TA's catalog.
As a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.

I'll go on record as the sole TAU voter (so far).

I love Kaleidoscope very much, and have preferred it to the debut album since its release. The debut, to me, starts with two of the very best TA songs, and then has a rather unremarkable back half. On the other hand, TAU is consistent, but doesn't have anything I like as well as All of the Above. On the strength of that song, I give SMPTe the slight edge right now.
And if spirit's a sign,
Then it's only a matter of time

Kaleidoscope, but I might change that vote after another 6 months.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.
