Core Album Ranking
Rather than a tier list, these are my favorite albums in order. Im probably a weirdo, but does anyone else feel similarly? Im guessing the most unpopular will be FII & BC&SL placements.
I really love FII for its unique and versatile melodic songs. Same reason The Astonishing is better than I think people give it credit for.
BC&SL, I cant get past Portnoys yelling and feel like the only two stand outs are Best of Times (top 5 JP solos) and CoT. Also self titled is wayy under appreciated imo. Anyway:
- Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
- Scenes From A Memory
- Octavarium
- Awake
- Images & Words
- Falling Into Infinity
- Train of Thought
- Systematic Chaos
- Dream Theater
- A Dramatic Turn of Events
- Black Clouds & Silver Linings
- The Astonishing
- AVFTTOTW
- When Dream And Day Unite
- Distance Over Time
