| I think I like "Panic Attack" best but must admit to not being overly impressed on the first couple of listens. Then again, I felt the same about "Falling Into Infinity" and it's now my joint favourite DT album (along with "Awake"). |

Sorry, but 'Octavarian' is the only decent track on it. And even that song becomes a little disjointed in the middle

Never Enough. The way the music slides up and down while Labrie sings is just a wonderful haunting feeling which is just awsome. ------------- Come to us, Lazarus, it's time for you to go |

OCTAVARIUM, obviously. one of the best songs of DT. Now as I got into it, I think it even beats ACOS. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ocellatedgod" rel="nofollow - last.fm |

The noodling at the beginning doesn't yet make any sense to me (up until Petrucci plays the main theme on the slide guitar). So I vote for Never Enough ... ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

In my opinion, "The Root of All Evil" is the worst edition to Portnoy's
AA series yet. Too bad, because "The Glass Prison" and "This Dying
Soul" are both amazing.

I don't know why I'm so adicted to These Walls... But Octavarium is mindblowing, so It gets my vote.... (It'd still be better with Moore!!!!!!!!! )------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ed_the_dead/?chartstyle=asimpleblue5">

Octavarium is great. But Never Enough is ok too, although it reminds me a lot of Muse. |

| This is almost the silliest thread I have seen, the title track (to me) seems to be by SO FAR the best track on the CD. |

| I just heard Octavarium for the first time and I dont know. It didnt had the same impact that as Awake or Falling into infinity. The sound is just too heavy and one of the things I like about DT is that they can be heavy and melodic at the same time, and Octavarium is not their best example of heaviness/melody. But I promise I'll answer to this poll after a second or third hearing. Its not their easiest album that's for sure. |

Clearly Octavarium but "I Walk Beside You" is awsome too.

i made up my mind ... and the winner is OCTAVARIUM by a
mile... no, a thousand miles... The rest of the album doesnt impress me. Its too heavy for my standards. If DT released Octavarium as an EP like they did with a Change of Seasons I would give it 5 stars, but as a album its not that fantastic. Anyway Octavarium (the track) is among the best they ever did. Congratulations |

Octavarium IS the masterpiece that DT has prodused so far and if they mange to surpass it on another album it will blow me away. |

IMO Octavarium is a three star album (3 1/2) stars, and Octavarum (the song) is overrated. Most of the songs aren't bad, but where's the creativity and originality gone? ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

The originality clearly went over your head. Plenty of people out there 'get' DT it's not our fault if you're misiing a taste gene! |

Opinions are divided on the subject. If I rate it 3 1/2 stars, it still means that it's a good album. I don't like the way they try to please 70's prog fans by all the 70's prog references on the title track. I really like the 70's references in the Full Circle section and the following instrumental frenzy, but as a whole the track fails to achieve true greatness. I really like The Root of all Evil, Never Enough, Panic Attack and Sacrificed Sons. But the magic of I&W, Awake and ACOS is long gone. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

Octavarium would be my choice, but The Answer Lies Within is still one of the top ones, so since it ranks in with zero votes, I guess I'll put that one. Just to be fair, is all. ------------- "Don't listen to me." |
