The vocals are great! Sounds like a different band, but in a good way.

I guess I get to use this picture again, from the last time this question (or one similar) was asked. Since I posted this, I have listened to Distance Over Time, but like Paul, have not yet listened to the latest.

1. The Astonishing

2. Six Degrees

3. Awake

4. Falling Into Infinity

5. Dramatic Turn

My absolute favourite DT studio release, though, is A Change of Seasons. I realise the band consider it an ep, but if Paul counts it as an album, then knock off Dramatic Turn from my list, and move everything else down one rung to accommodate Seasons! 😜

Hi Nick, why have you not listened to WDADU? It’s a wonderful album in my opinion and well worth checking out!😊

So, I wasn't far off then Paul! Big smile

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

I mostly prefer their heavier side over their mellower one. I just find their mellower songs kind of corny. Space Dye Vest is great, though, one of my very favourites from them.

Kevin Moore created that song, lyrics and music.

I recommend checking out other two projects Kevin has been in - Chroma key and OSI. Smile

^ The nice thing about Dream Theater's Greatest Hit is it's divided into The Dark Side and The Light Side, so if you're not so keen on Dream Theater's heavier songs, then you could just listen to Disc 2, or vice versa. Smile

SC and TOT are way down my list, as is Awake…..

I follow your Train of Thought because it would be Systematic Chaos to include either of those two albums in my Dream Theater Top 10. I do like Awake though, which is in my Top 5. Smile
