For my money, Awake is the best thing the band ever did or ever will do. I like all the albums to varying degrees, bit Awake is head and shoulders above them all...

^ I never really got into Awake, but that might be because it was one of the last DT albums that I got/listened to.

I've got to agree with you here. Awake is the reason I will be disappointed in anything Dream Theater ever releases  . That's how highly I hold this album. It's got a dark tone that they've brought on some songs since (a few on their latest), but it isn't the same. Kevin Moore was such a valuable member to Dream Theater, and his contributions to Awake show this. I'm more of a fan of his style even though Derek and Jordan are better musicians from a technical standpoint.

my 2 cents...
AWAKE , for many reasons, has the potential to live better with years mostly since the production is terrific.
The others 2 sounds always dated.
What do you think ?

1. Awake 2. Images 3. Change of Seasons 4. Scenes 5. Falling Into Infinity ...then the rest. (sorry when dream....!)
Scenes from a Memory is a really good album obviously but it is also the safest and most predictable for-the-fans album they had ever done up to that point. It also marks the end of the GREAT Dream Theater era in my opinion, although I do listen to Six Degrees with enjoyment.
To be honest I was also disappointed with Rudess. I was floored with the LTE albums, the first one also making up for the uneven FII and I often thought that DT should get Rudess, what a team! Then came Scenes which I guess I had too high hopes for, so...
Anyway, yeah, Awake. Images or Awake are the only correct answers in my not so humble opinion! :P

I have yet to listen to Awake in full, but I own the other two on CD and Images and Words is definitely the superior one. Scenes From a Memory had a little too much bullshit and not enough metal. I found myself skipping a lot of the songs on it.
I like Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, Train of Thought, and Octavarium better than either of those two anyway.

Wow, 3 options LOL
Well, out of these Awake is my favorite (and it's one of their tops IMO) but my favorite is Train of Thought

Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Testament. The real Big Four of thrash metal!
Listen to doom metal, worship Satan
