"Images And Words". However, I'd give 'em all 5/5.

I can only second that opinion! I&W is the only album that has
stuck with me for a longer time. This band with perfect technical skill
is often overrated...

Scenes From A Memory - the only Masterpiece by this band, IMHO

awake... with most of the chances to get a higher discussion, this is the first (and last) real group record, very good thoughts in a song and a very solid concept in darkness, sadness and dreams, in here the 5 piece tries hard enough to produce a great album, and great playing, better and cleaner than images and words, and more complex than falling into infinity... the early fans of DT really misses Kevin Moore |
I missed Moore as Sherinian had his job  , but NOW...I think Rudess is even better that Moore... I really love Rudess' playing I saw him live and bought his solo album 'Feeding the Wheel' GREAT... But even if Sherinian was Keyboarder while change of Seasons I still think it is their best ... but sometimes it's Metropolis II...listening to ACOS makes my think it is their best, listening to Metropolis II makes my think SFAM is the best ;) I can't decide  But I'm listening to Awake right now...

Images and Words for me as well! But even this album get me bored after a while. It's fun to see them live though. They are technically superb and it rocks alot!! We really need bands like DT! But, the world wouldn't have been the same without Gentle Giant....

I have to say that I love the seventies Bands AND I love Dream Theater...I don't think that they rule out each other  Maybe the reason could be that I was listening to Metal long time ago, discovered Led Zep and Uriah Heep and was listening to this kind of music for a while and then deiscovered Prog..I can listen to all of them and, not like a friend of mine, I can listen to Gentle Giant and then, just one minute later to Dream Theater, I don't have a problem with it, because I really like both, the modern and the "classic" Prog...
And after seeing Dream Theater live here in my hometown 2 month ago I really like them even more 
But I can't stand the eighties Prog like Marillion, I really hate Marillion and Queensryche THEY really bore me...

I understand what you're saying. Bands like Dream Theater just don't have the same emation in their music as seventies bands. I kinda like Images And Words for a while, but then it gets boring...
There's a great riff in Under A Glass Moon though (the metalhead in me is speaking... )
My opinion: Dream Theater is NOTHING compared to e.g. Gentle Giant

I'd have to say Images and Words. The music in that album still sticks in my mind everytime I listen to it and often when I don't. Besides that, Wait for Sleep is still one of my favorite songs just from the beautiful piano part.

I have many DT albums and all of them are good. However, Images and Words gets my vote, thanks to a friend who turned me on to them about 4 years ago.

Images and Words is their masterpiece . Labrie's vocals didn't sound so pure and so astonishing on the further records. And Kevin Moore plays some unforgettable keyboard parts on this LP.
