Octavarium is my favorite of these. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

Six Degrees and The Astonishing are my favourite DT albums, so as the latter is not in this poll, it’s an easy vote for the former! ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence for me. After that I lost track with DT... ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

The chilling Dalek voice in the title track of Octavarium gets my vote.

Six Degrees was my first exposure to DT, so it gets the nod. ------------- Welcome to the middle of the film. |

Six Degrees. Love the whole second disc but also The Glass Prison is my favourite DT track by some margin.

I'd choose not to listen to any of them. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

| I guess 6 Degrees, because CD 1 is just perfect to me... too bad the suite does just about nothing for me. Octavarium is wonderful too, specially the title song. Yet, my favourite album from them must be Train of Thought (if only 6 Degrees was only CD 1, then that would be my overall favourite one). |

| Any of those albums are my fav, the least worst for me its 6 degrees and the suite its annoying |

Having The Astonishing at S-tier is a pretty hot take, even for this site  Props for having A Dramatic Turn of Events at A-tier though, underrated record right there ------------- Take me down, to the underground Won't you take me down, to the underground Why oh why, there is no light And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life https://www.youtube.com/@CocoonMasterBrendan-wh3sd |

Similar to you the suite did nothing for me but the first CD is so good it more than makes up for it.

| If it were only the first CD, I would chose 6D, but comparing the whole material I prefer Octavarium |

| Octavarium pretty easily |

In the end I went for Black Clouds. The Best Of Times and The Count Of Tuscany are two of the best tracks they've ever done, and the whole album is class IMHO. Octavarium would probably be close, mainly for the outstanding title track. Six Degrees wouldn't be far behind; I love the suite particularly but the other disc less so.... I'm going for a run today at lunchtime and I think it's going to be BCASL in the ears!

Went with “Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence” ------------- Friedrich Nietzsche: "Without music, life would be a mistake." Music Is Live Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. Keep Calm And Listen To The Music… < |

| SDoIT... which will tend to win on a Prog site, in the same way ToT tends to do well on a Metal site.. |

| ^ I would have a hard time choosing between 6 Degrees and Train of Thought, my two favourite albums from them. CD 1 of 6 Degrees would just beat ToT, but since it is a double album, and the second one doesn't do much for me, ToT gets some points to itself. |

I traded Train Of Thought for Lateralus. One play was enough. Didn't mind The Astonishing though
