SFAM for me, Awake is just "ok".
I&W is their best though. And I love their debut too! |

I must have listened to at least 10 different versions of Scenes From A Memory (DVD's and CD's) and I'm yet to like any one of them. Awake is absolutely brilliant and I don't get how SFAM out rates it.

Awake was the first and last DT album I purchased.
Erotomania is barely worth said purchase price, or re-listening IMHO. Not a fan of DT in general LOL. They're THE most sterile progressive metal band of all time. It's like room temp faucet water that everyone swears is Crown Royal or something.

SFaM is the only Dream Theater album I would ever actually contemplate listening to on purpose at this point in my life.

It's really tough for me. Scenes is a work of art, even if you don't follow the story much but all the songs flow really nice, Home being a highlight for me.
Awake is not in the same vein meaning its not a concept pc 100%, so I can look at them differently and vote each at the top. But due to Kevin Moore's awesome performance and writing Awake for me. I hate it for Rudess as on all his performances all I hear is keys/synth wonking and it bugs me, sometime to no end.

Two superb albums and I love both albums but, there’s always a but. Awake is a personal favourite because of personal issues...

I find I am often on the same wavelength as Doug. I would say about 90 per cent of the time, I agree with his opinions. He’s one of a few people here whose posts I always pay attention to. 👍🏻

I really love both albums. They're two of my favourite albums ever. However, I think I still prefer Scenes From A Memory. I saw the entire performance of Scenes in the last world tour of the band, and I still keep be amazed with that album, even after so many years have gone.
