 Topic: Top 3 Dream Theater AlbumsPosted: March 08 2022 at 18:20 |

I'm swimming in DT the past few days after seeing them live for the first time ever! What are you favorite 3 Dream Theater albums?
Bonus question: How do you feel about The Astonishing? My top three at this moment are: 1. Awake 2. Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory 3. Distance Over Time And I think The Astonishing is excellent, if not as excellent as most of their other albums!

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

So far I'm the only one to vote for anything with Mangini on it!

I’m not really a metal fan, but I like Images & Words, so it gets my vote. I haven’t heard it in a very long time though.

Six Degrees, Systematic Chaos, and SFAM are my favourite 3.
I know not many like SC but In The Presence of Enemies, Repentance, and Ministry of Lost Souls more than make up for the weaker parts of the record in my opinion. As for the Astonishing.. well bleh, really don't like it at all and gave up with DT after that. It feels really overbloated and bland to me, and I dont think James trying to do the voices for all the characters really works. DT now seems very much like Petrucci's band... and I think as a whole they are sorely missing Portnoy - not necessarily for his drumming skills, but more for his arranging skills.

Two Mangini releases are in my DT top five, so I’m with you. I still haven’t heard the latest album, but it seems to get near universally good reviews, so I’m hoping to enjoy it when I finally get around to it. |

I picked Awake and SFaM. There's not a 3rd DT album that I like.

1. Awake
2. Images and Words 3. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulance Might also have listed Metropolis pt.2 and Falling into Infinity. I gave up on DT after a the self titled album. It's not that they make bad music, but to my ears it's a rehash of earlier work and sounding uninspired. I didn't care about The Astonishing.

I haven't listened to every album by this band, but of those I have, Six Degrees, Systematic Chaos, and Octavarium are my favorites. Falling Into Infinity would be my fourth choice.
