Both are really great but probably H.C.E. for me.

Scenes from a Memory, though Hand Cannot Erase has it's moments too. Had it been The Raven from Wilson, I guess I would have chosen that one.

If I'm correct the tally so far is: Scenes 11 Hand 6.

DT's Scenes is only derivative of themselves, it's more genuine and a great Prog-Metal album.

SFAM. SW never tingled my emotions. I'm sure if I preferred to delve into his discography, my opinion/feelings towards his music would change.

I'd prefer Awake of DT, as it is more adventurous and idiosyncratic. Yet I think SFAM flows better. Quite incomparable, but even though I think SFAM is a better album, I'd choose Awake as a standout.

All in all, SFAM for me.

The best thing DT ever did was A Change Of Seasons (IMO) while H.C.E is Wilson's 4th best album and a slight downturn after his first 3 masterpieces although I would still vote for that over most DT.

I just cannot get into DT. It's prog by numbers, technique over emotion and I don't like the singer much.

HCE 4.5*
SFAMM 2.5*


I don't know about the raven, but if anybody should refuse to sing, it's Wilson. Fine composer and musician, but a dreadful voice.

HCE easily.

prog by the numbers --my feeling exactly about DT--but I do prefer the Raven because the best songs on that album move me more than Hand cannot....

Scenes from a memory. Great album, probably the best from DT (for me, of cource). With different DT album I'd consider it thoroughly, but not with Scenes.

HCE for me easily. The music is more deep and has variety. Images and Words is a better album than Scenes in my opinion.

nobody erased anything, newbies can't create polls.
It seems a long time ago since I was a newbie here, even though it was only a couple of months ago. A lot's happened since then. Smile
