What Is The Last DT Album You Loved Front-To-Back?

[Phoenix87x]

Train of thought

[lehspelt]

I love every song on A View From The Top Of The World, but as an album their self titled is way better in my opinion.

On a song basis, A View From The Top Of The World.
On a song and album basis, Dream Theater.

[deggs37]

A Dramatic Turn Of Events.

Before that it was Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence.

Scenes from a Memory
Train of Thought
Octavarium
Images & Words

BCSL. Just listened to the whole thing, which I hadnt done in a very long time. I was either smiling, cryingnor headbanging 

[LCArenas]

ADToE. Incredible album.

I'm talking about truly loving the entire album with no skipping of songs.

For me it's Awake. SFaM and SDoIT come very close but don't quite make the cut.

Agree almost completely.  But replace SDoIT with The Astonishing.

[Deadeye21]

Dream Theater, the self-titled.

The unfortunate truth is that many of these albums have at least one skippable track. Example: I love Octavarium, but I'd happily skip over Answer Lies Within and Never Enough. Six Degrees is a great album, but there are sections within the title track I could easily pass on. But the thing is, while I find The Looking Glass to be one of my least favourite songs in the DT catalog, it really holds its own on the album. Songs that were overlooked by the band are absolute gems too! It's actually a great album, even though it didn't rank that highly in the album rankings (actually, it's my second from the bottom)

A View From The Top Of The World

[Animal]

A View from the Top of the World. It helps that it has, unlike The Astonishing, only few tracks.

[Samsara]

That's a really high bar.

Images and Words

That's it. Awake and Scenes are close, but there are nitpicks I'd make on those records. But there are no nitpicks with I&W.

[Herrick]

A Dramatic Turn Of Events.

Before that it was Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence.

Same for Herrick but My One True Love is Images and Words.

[OpenYourEyes311]

I don't love A View at all.
D/T is an amazing album that loses it's way about 2:30 into the last song.
Astonishing is an amazing album with one track I don't care for at all (Ravenskill).

But DT12 is a great collection of songs that I truly love. They should play more of this one.

Before that, it would be Octavarium.
