Explanation:
While I enjoy Images And Words I personally think Awake was DT's best album and A Mind Beside Itself is a good epic

Awake. Images and Words has some fantastic songs, but as a whole Awake is simply the far more balanced and well-produced work.

Honestly, I think I agree. I&W had better individual songs ('Pull Me Under,' 'Metropolis Part 1,' 'Learning to Live') but Awake had more flow as an album.

Awake has Lifting Shadows off a Dream and Innocence Faded.
I&W has Metropolis Pt. 1: The Miracle and the Sleeper and Pull Me Under.

I always enjoyed Images and Words more, even if it didn't flow as well.
Not removing this until we get some Sunn O)))
in which case this will be on for a while.

Awake may be a more cohesive album, but I still prefer Images And Words. There are simply no standout tracks like Pull Me Under and The Miracle And The Sleeper on Awake, at least to me. I still rank them both in the middle overall.
