I would like to hear that Future Kings of England album in full at some time. Not a strong year for me either in terms of quantity at least that I know. The only album I have heard here in full is the Rush when it came out, and I was not big on it.
In PA, a few I like are: William D. Drake - Briny Hooves (love this album) Radiohead - In Rainbows Alamaailman Vasarat - Maahan Far Corner - Endangered Angels of Light - We Are Him Setna - Cycle I Robert Wyatt - Comicopera And aa couple of ladies not in PA: PJ Harvey - White Chalk St. Vincent - Marry Me |

I like Octavarium more than both Systematic Chaos and Black Clouds... , and about on a par with Train Of Thought

Systematic Chaos is maybe not as consistent as Train of Thought, but it has higher highs (and lower lows). I would rank it above Octavarium (I only really enjoyed Sacrificed Sons and the title track on that), and every single album that was released after it, even Black Clouds...

Your Dream Theater tier gives me a feeling of Strange Deja Vu as it's very close to my DT albums ranking too.

I think Mike has Six Degrees just right, and actually agree with all of his top album selections. Of course it then becomes very subjective; I certainly prefer ADToE, to BCaSL, although I agree it is probably less original and fairly safe. I've never likes FII much, much preferring the out-take material (Cristi and I have mentioned this before). I can understand why people like the Astonishing, but it left me fairly cold.

^ Well, I think that The Astonishing is underrated.

^ The Astonishing and Six Degrees are too high and the debut is too low...
I made a DT ranking on a metal site, I think I shocked a few people.

Here's how I tiered the DT releases. They're all on a really high level of musicianship, and I really like ITPOE - but as good as Systematic Chaos is, many of their other releases are even better.

"outsized distaste"?! That's harsh. But you described the album perfectly. I agree.

I've never gotten the outsized distaste for Systematic Chaos. It has some underwhelming moments. But a decent portion of it is fantastic. In the Presence of Enemies is epic as hell.

Scarsick by Pain of Salvation gets my vote. Scarsick is one of my favorite albums from POS and, in my opinion, their most underrated work.

You are not the only one with such a preference, I understand it at least.

Much preferred Dramatic Turn to either of them, personally.

Not a high point either, but definitely superior to Systematic Chaos.
