Images & Words vs Awake

[Mega-Tallica]

I think we can all agree that Images And Words and Awake are two of Dream Theater's best albums.

At the very least, neither is among their worst.

As I did earlier with ranking DT's studio releases, IaW was in the middle for me (which was very hard for me, because I freaking love Metropolis Pt. 1 and Pull Me Under).

Which makes your presence in this thread very puzzling indeed, troll.

No worries, odds are I probably hate whatever music you like, so it's mutual

I always put both in the middle.

One of the biggest problems comparing the two is that the "Final Fantasy VII effect" holds pretty solidly over Images and Words. It's a fantastic album, but it's also the album that most people started off on, and their memories of being brought into Dream Theater are somewhat colored by that.

EXACT reason i chose Images and Words.

while I tend to find myself listening to Awake more often.... If I had to choose one of the albums to die with... it would be Images and Words.

Awake by quite a big margin, its probably the only Dream Theater album I can still listen to all the way through and not have my patience put to the test. I&W does have Metropolis Pt: 1 but thats the only track that I think stands up to anything on Awake. Also Portnoy's snare sound is god damn awful on I&W.

Your right Celine Dion owns DT
