Hope y'all are OK with me putting A Change Of Seasons in this game. Not an album, but won the Survivor so I thought it was right.

My ratings:

1. Images & Words
2. Metropolis, Part 2 - Scenes From A Memory
3. A Dramatic Turn Of Events
-
4. Black Clouds & Silver Linings
5. Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence
6. Train Of Thought
7. Octavarium
8. Systematic Chaos
-
9. A Change Of Seasons
-
10. Awake
11. Falling Into Infinity
-
12. Dream Theater
13. When Dream & Day Unite
14. The Astonishing

Albums in the 1st group are set in stone. Albums in the 2nd group are almost interchangeable at times, considering they are all really close in quality.
ACOS is too incomplete of a release to be above first 8 albums but it's more enjoyable than the albums below. Awake and Falling Into Infinity are also really close in quality IMO. And the last 3 albums are also set in stone.

So voting for When Dream & Day Unite, Dream Theater and The Astonishing.

We don't really need to discuss the albums here. We already did that in the regular DT survivor...and in great length as well!

Astonishing. You have to pay for me to sit through that album.

I still haven't heard that album. I guess I should give it a try sometime though just to see if it's really as bad as everyone says it is.

I don't really count ACOS as an album, So I'm not really sure where to put it in regards to the rest.. I'll probably vote for it next round if The Astonishing goes next.
