This poll tastes like really thin paper with really small type for some reason. Tongue
I'm partial to my first encounter, In Absentia.

You really should click more frenetically when posting. LOL

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

(Where is On the Sunday of Life... though?)

It has really baffled me as the amount of praise the last few PT albums get.  I think it is partly due to the age of the listeners as well as the fact that the new stuff is probably what they hear first.  I know it was that way with myself: In Absentia was my first album to hear by PT.  I am not saying the new stuff is bad by any means, but it just doesn't have that sparkle and creative edge that albums like TSMS, Signify, and Stupid Dream have.  I am seeing PT tomorrow in Atlanta, GA!!  Very excited!!

I tried to make that show, but couldn't. Congrats there.
 
But I am baffled as to how people say that they lost their "sparkle" or their "creative edge" over the past few albums. Why? Because they're heavier? Confused To me, The Incident is far far superior to Stupid Dream, which sounds cold to me. Just as an example.
 
To each his own, of course, but I think a lot of people are associating growing popularity with declining quality when all that's really going on is a sonic progresson.

Signify today. But it really could've been any of them. PTree, to me, are an incredibly consistent band.

I'm going with Lightbulb Sun which has been my favorite for a while, though I will admit, I've been giving "The Incident" quite a few listens lately in anticipation of the upcoming show in Pittsburgh and it is growing on me.

It's a tie between Signify and Lightbulb Sun. But since I only have one vote, I'll give it to Lightbulb Sun because the album came out when I was going through a painful divorce and was very therapeutic for me. A special album with personal significance. But I still love Signify too!!! (Actually, I haven't met a PT album I didn't like, just some I don't love as much as others.)

Lightbulb Sun The Incident has been growing on me a lot lately though. In Absentia in a close second.

I haven't even heard Lightbulb Sun, apparently I should get it

Sky Moves Sideways, one of the greatest things to come out of the 90s

Lightbulb Sun and FOABP leading the way, hmmm.  Methinks it won't stay that way for long.
 
I love the early albums Up The Downstair and TSMS.  Of the latest albums I prefer Deadwing and The Incident.  On the subject of The Incident I really cannot for the life of me understand the flak this gets.  I think it's absolutely outstanding.  For me, it's their best effort since the mid-90s.
 
My vote goes to The Sky Moves Sideways, the rest of my top 5 at present are:-
 
2.  The Incident
3.  Up The Downstair
4.  Deadwing
5.  Stupid Dream

In Absentia is absolutely fantastic. With Up The Downstair and Fear Of The Blank Planet close behind.
