SDOIT.
 
Disc 1 is a masterpiece, IMO.Among DT's best stuff! Disc 2 is excellent too!
 
Octavarium is my least favorite DT release.

I'd go with the majority, 6DOIT has more "unique" and great songs rather than Octavarium.. However both got 5 stars from me..

If it were only the 2nd disk of SDOIT, then that would win hands down, but I hate the first disk, so on with Octavarium.
My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

I totally agree, SDOIT is my favorite DT album too and so I vote SDOIT, but Octavarium the track is my favorite DT song.

Six Degrees is probably the best album the band has made since Awake. So I'll go with that and since Solitary Shell is freaking awesome that helps as well. lol

I think SDoiT is their worst album along with Falling Into Infinity. Octavarium for  me.

I don't like octavarium as an album very much, but the song itself blows me away... i think its great music, but overall, SDOIT makes by far a better album than octavarium.

Six degrees of inner turbulence for sure. It carries more variety and it's overall better.

Still a huge fan of Octavarium. I'm more familiar with it than Six Degrees.
