HAHA Sam I heard that today, I cant wait Im a huge DT fan. IMO the most talented band on Earth. Along with that they know how to write solid songs as well.

Only have Images and Words. Haven't really checked out much of thier other stuff.

Anyone else excited for the 2009 edition of Prog Nation headlined by Dream Theater with Zappa Plays Zappa, Pain Of Salvation and Beardfish.

I think it will awesome!!

Looking forward to this new album. Hopefully it's better than Systematic Chaos.

You didn't like Systematic Chaos? There was some great hidden parts on that album and man did Mike Portnoy do an amazing job once again.

Can't wait!!!! I love dream theater!!!

Never said I didn't like it. I thought it was a good album, but it was a little weak compared to the rest of the catalog. 'Constant Motion" was a good song off that album.

Constant Motion is an awesome song indeed. I wouldn't hold it up there either with the best DT albums.

Images and Words
Falling Into Infinity
Train of Thought
Awake
Six Degrees
Scenes from a Memory
Systematic Chaos
Octavarium

thats the order I like the albums I own. I think Octavarium is an awesome album so it shows I think they are a pretty special band.

My order is:

Awake (tied with)
Images & Words
Scenes From A Memory
A Change Of Seasons
Falling Into Infinity
Train Of Thought
Octivarium
Systematic Chaos
Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence

As you can see, my love for Dream Theater has waned over the years. Scenes was the last great DT album IMO and nothing since has come close to it's caliber. That being said, I have yet to hear a bad DT album.

Might as well:

1a. Images and Words (Greatest Prog Metal album not made by Rush.)

1b. Awake (Great follow up to I&W.)

3. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (Second disc is a little dodgy, but the first disc is brilliant.)

4. Metropolis Part. 2 (Great story telling and musicianship.)

5. A Change of Seasons (Love the medleys.)

6. Train of Thought (Heavy as hell.)

7. Octavarium (Little too self-indulgent.)

8. Systematic Chaos (Weaker than the others, but still a good album.)

9. Falling Into Infinity (Often thought they should get an outside producer. This disc shows why they shouldn't)

You aren't including When Dream And Day Unite?

Totally agree with you kmorg. The Kevin Moore years were incredible.

"Images and Words" is still my favorite, and one of my favorite metal albums ever.

Good record but loaded with keyboard honks everywhere.

I added the debut.

Without keyboards it wouldn't be Dream Theater though.

I like the cover art!!!! For some reason, makes me think of the early albums. So, are they covering Styx on this album?

I can't wait for this one. I'll probabaly pick up the 3CD deluxe edition.

So it's safe to say that "The Shattered Fortress" is the last installment of the AA suite??

I agree def has an earlier album cover feel to it. CANT WAIT~

I'll be picking this one up in the used bin the same day I pick up the new Anthrax.

It looks like the cover for Awake. I'll probably be picking up the 3 disc set as well.

I will get this for sure

I'm working on a new piece of software called "James LaBrie remover", as soon as I have it perfected I'll buy the entire Dream Theater catalog.
