As for DT, the last three albums have been really disappointing for me. Many hate the two before, but I oddly don't and especially like Systematic Chaos, which is the second lowest rated DT album on this site.


You need a job like mine then, where you can listen to it at work.Wink Today I had The Accused, The Misfits, Overkill, Annihilator, The Circle Jerks, and a few other bits and pieces. Not all metal, I know, but you get the idea.

I dislike The Astonishing as well, in fact to me they've been going downhill since Octavarium, I'm not that fond of SDoIT these days (I haven't listened to the epic in years, the short songs, yes), but still I will listen to the albums I like from them.

Iron Maiden has released more consistently great albums over the years. Dream Theater has released a handful of classics. IMAGES AND WORDS is likely the cream of the crop, so I have to pick it.

Both albums had great impact on me, but as Somewhere in Time was my first ever bought vinyl, I´ll give my vote to that album for nostalgia reasons.
