The Wake is a good album, but I think Dead Winter Dead is more impressive, with a good storyline, great harmonic singling and excellent symphonic touches. It also spawned the formation of the TSO, (which some may see as a bad-thing) ------------- What? |

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 ------------- {Flashlights shade shrunken views Of a red demon’s foxtrot in brews Guns & flowers crown morning news Panic-stricken guilt now ensues} |

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

Wake of Magellan for me.
But both albums rule.

| 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. |
