Hm..

Vocals: As much as James awesomeness is apparent in anything pre-injury there is just something about the slight reverb/delay on his voice in SDOIT and Octavarium.
Guitar:FII or SFAM (Mk IIc+ and Mk IV FTW!!)
Bass:Probably SFAM
Keyboard: SFAM again (the mixing on it is perfect)
Drum: SFAM or ACOS (I love the snare on ACOS)

Vocals - IaW or SDOIT
Guitar - FII or SDOIT
Bass - IaW or SDOIT
Keyboard - SFAM or SDOIT
Drum - FII or SDOIT

That wasn't intentional, honestly :lol There's a reason SDOIT is my favourite DT album

Vocals - Awake...i mean...yeah, cīmon.
Guitar - SDOIT...misunderstood, glass prison, test that stumped them all, war inside my head...and the list goes on.
Bass - Systematic Chaos...controversial, but the bass has a very interesting function in songs like ITPOE part 2. and the intro, amongst other songs in the album, I want to give a honorable mention to FII though, its very powerful in there.
Keyboard - Octavarium...the album requires from Rudess many interesting lead sounds as well as the sole piano, it shows a good range of his sounds and techniques. Honorable mention to SDOIT, where he samples the whole orchestra in the Oasys (i think).
Drums - Train Of Though...as a more heavy album, i find the drumming to be very intense.

Why? I've heard almost nothing but complaints about it (specifically, the apparent lack of audible bass through much of the album) and I tend to agree with it for the most part.

I can hear the bass through my speakers fantastically and I picked it because it's a tone I like and i think it's his best tone on any album so far. You can call me whatever you want but i think it's badass. Just saying.

I misread that as "you can call me whenever you want" at first and I got pretty excited.

I can hear it fine too. It's a bit too low on AROP and TBOT, but for much of the rest of the album it's basically cranked. Anyone who can't hear the bass on ANTR or TSF is basically deaf.

I was already aware of your opinion on this matter, so my question isn't specific to this post, but I gotta ask: Have you been getting angrier lately or is it just me?

Did that post come across as angry? Perhaps the last sentence came across as confrontational, but it wasn't intended to come across harshly. Not sure about any other posts, although I haven't been posting as much the past week or so.

Confrontational is probably a better term to use for the most part. And I actually meant over the last month or so.

I thought the bass was okay on BC&SL. Especially in The Count of Tuscany right before the guitar-keyboard part. However, when I listened to the stems, I couldn't believe it was the bass I was hearing. It sounded extremely distorted, though it sounds okay on the album.

Based on the posts so far, it seems like Awake and SFAM are DT's best mixed albums. Although id throw SDOIT in there as well.

Sound system also makes a big difference. BCASL has a bit of a weird frequency mix. On worse sound systems the bass hardly comes through, but on anything better it seems to be cranked. You'd think that means that the bass is primarily really low frequencies, but yet I can still hear the tone of the bass and the attack quite clearly, so I don't really know how to explain it.
