I recently listend to every dream theater studio album back to back. it took two days haha, but the album which didnt do anything was octavarium. Falling into infinity doesn't sound very much like Dream Theater, mainly because of Derek Sherinians keyboards but i think its one of their best next to awake, why it has so many votes shocks me. My vote goes to Octavarium its good but just doesnt stick out, Dream Theater need to really put some heart and thought into making their next record.

I share your uncertainty and disappointment, though, in spite of being a conspicuously virtuous outcome of DT's labour, many tend to find it blunt, in conflict with its successors, as the sound is herald to a somewhat raw appeal from Dream Theater (I've heard some plausible complaints against the drum-work). Nevertheless, the album enchants an unique identidy, plunging from WDADU, baring a progressive euphony arrayed in vast gradations, should they be tinged in majority with metal (Pull Me Under), ballads (Wait For Sleep), epic-proximities (Learning To Live), or instrumental orgies of grandeur's recogniseable orchestration (Metropolis Pt1, Take The Time). Not at all to be thought of an inverted apex, as prog finds itself embraced in pleasantly crafted melodies, apart from minor encumberments to perfectly optimized potential.

This is why you should let Robin save the day...

This poll have multiple votes, which makes it worthless!

Anyway, I voted "Octavarium".

Falling Into Infinity is their worst IMO. 6DOIT is pretty bad also. Not sure why WDADU and IAW are receiving so many votes, they are DT`s 2 best if you ask me.
If anyone knows where I can get a copy of some Flute and Voice (Indo-Prog/Raga Rock) albums please PM me! Many thanks!

FII

Their most commercial attempt, but at least they realised what they were good at and went back to awesomeness on every album since.

Dream Theater make good music, but it's so damn contrived!

It is kind of funny that when I asked for DT recommendations, most eveyone said I and W, and now it has the most votes.
 
I have only heard three of there albums (IaW, SFaM, and TOT) and IaW is definatly my least favoite.  Scenes is my favorite, but I really like TOT, because I am a heavy metal fan at heart, and when I heard this was thier heaviest and darkest release, I knew I would like it.  My only complaint would be not enough keyboard action. 
I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress . . .

You shouldn´t allow multi votes, it messes up your poll.

I think Train Of Thought is the worst album, it's more metal than something else.

I miss the progressive style in the songs
