I think Systematic Chaos is the most horrible, I'm not capable to listen to it further than two or three songs.

Strange to see 3 votes for the deebut, some great music in there...

I believe their weakest moment was FII

Why focus on what's bad ... or worse?

How could anyone vote for Scenes from a Memory?
I haven't heard them all but I couldn't stand Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, it's annoyingly too heavy and too long for my taste.

Why not? We all know what is good or best about DT.Wink
 
 
Anyway, Six Degrees for me, though Octavarium is close.
What?

I wanted to ask the same, I find it astonishing that someone thinks it's the weakest DT album.Confused

Because it is the burning ruin of a decent album and a terrible, terrible crime against taste and lyrical intelligence (short version, a long version exists). For the record, I felt the live version was a dungball in a much nicer dress.

I'd like to see this poll without their debut- I don't like S.C, and T.O.T.

It's easily BC&SL for me. Their lyrics & musical cheesiness has never been worse before. Systematic Chaos at least has some solid musical moments.

It's difficult to vote for which is the worst from a band like Dream Theater(or in other cases, The Flower Kings or the like) since in all of their albums they play really well, however the writing/originality quality tends to vary.

As far as I'm concerned their least original album, and the one that is the farest from sounding like Dream Theater is Octavarium.

I can agree for most of the post..
Great music, but, at least in my opinion, not the best vocalist.
I can't really vote now, since I haven't listened their latest yet, but I strongly tend to vote for Systematic Chaos..

Would it be mean if I say they're all as bad as each other? Ermm

What?  No votes for the angry mush of sound that is Train of Thought?

Well, let me cast the first groan...

Gonna go with Octavarium here. I salute them for making an album like this, but aside from the great title track, I've been trying to enjoy this album in vain since its release

Mush of sound? I think the album is very well produced. I also enjoy listening to it a lot ...
