Since these 3 albums are usually considered to be the best by the band, I think its time we have a poll...
Awake for me, the only DT album I can enjoy from start to finish.

Images & Words. I can appreciate Awake and I think it's great, but it doesn't lift me up like I&W.
Frankly, I think SFAM isn't a good album. Every time I try sitting down to it I think I could be listening to something else better, and I always end up doing that.

I&W is my favourite from them and Awake the second. Scenes is somewhere in the middle, fifth perhaps after Six Degrees and BC&SL.

I can still remember when I saw the Pull Me Under music video on Headbanger�s Ball and it sucked me right in. I mean I was listening almost exclusively to death metal at the time, but somehow that strange "pop" metal act intriguied me beyond belief. Images & Words will always stand as something very special for me and Awake comes in second. Nothing they have released since Awake have been able to catch my attention like those two early albums ( I won�t even mention the debut).

Yeah, Awake and I&W are the two albums which really seem to capture me whenever I put them on, more so than anything else they've released so far. I'm also a self admitted Kevin Moore fanboy, so his involvement on those two discs make me revisit them for his playing as much as anything else.

Can't vote here. I love the three ones equally.
Their Debut is their second heaviest album, though (right after Awake).

Awake...the most mature of the Kevin Moore era albums.
Images and Words has some amazing moments but is still very pop metal oriented.
I actually don't own Scenes, but I remember listening to it quite a few times when it came out and being very disappointed given it's hype.

Scenes From A Memory was the album that sold me as far as Dream Theater goes so I'm going for that.

All 3 are easy 5-star albums, but here's how I would rate them....
SFAM>>>>I&W>>>>>>>>>>>>>Awake Octavarium would go somewhere inbetween I&W and Awake. |

Awake.
Images and Words a VERY close second. SFAM is not even close to as good as either two though |
