Dead Winter Dead (and not just because I live in an area tht snows 10 months out of the year). Its darker, more centered and a little more romantic (I mean that in the old definition). A lot of bands can learn from these two albums on how to craft songs that are emotionaly relevant and meaningfull, something that a lot of prog has trouble with.

Both very good albums but DWD just has that bit more atmosphere - so that's my vote

exactly
 

the way i see it is that if it wasn't for DWD there would be no TSO nor Wake of Magellan...

 

while "Wake of ..." is a great album it has some weaker moments that interrupt the course of the album, the thing that you can’t find while listening to DWD
