Dream Theater - New album title revealed

[Symphony]

I'd go with Images and Words as a start for sure but for me they are one of those bands it's actually worth following in sequence but don't forget the debut "When Dream and Day Unite"......yes it's a different singer and the band are (comparatively) finding their feet but not one to be missed.

Nice one, thanks everyone for the recommendations. I've added the 3 you've stated.

Can't believe it's taken me this long to buy their albums. I'll let you know when I've listened to them. Cheers again everyone.

Good point. I haven't listened to it in a long time but remember it being a very good album. Someone I used to work with who was a fan of DT had the first album down as his favourite from their back catalogue.

Scenes From a Memory is one of their very best, along with the new one. The Astonishing is fantastic, but quite a departure from their core sound.

Images and Words and Awake are both good, but nothing special IMO (controversial!). Both albums have tracks that I just can't get into (Take the Time, Learning to Live, 6 O Clock, Caught in a Web and a few others).

The debut album came today. I've had a little stem, seems pretty good so far. Will be giving it a few more spins. Images and words is on it's way. Cheers for the recommendations

No one's said Octavarium! That's an incredible album!

Also Black Clouds is a very good, worthy use of your time

 

[Symphony]

Agreed on "Black Clouds....." Any album that features a song like "The Count of Tuscany" gets my coin any day of the week

Controversial indeed Mr Matt re Images and Words......this has to be in my Top 5 albums of all time as the whole thing for me is just genius

If I had to rank Dream Theater's albums, this is about how it looks in 2016, from favorite to least favorite:

AMAZING
1. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
2. Images & Words
3. Octavarium
4. Falling Into Infinity
------------------------------
GREAT
5. The Astonishing
6. Awake
7. Scenes From A Memory
8. A Dramatic Turn of Events
------------------------------
DECENT
9. Train of Thought
10. Systematic Chaos
------------------------------
POOR
11. Black Clouds & Silver Linings
12. Dream Theater
13. When Dream and Day Unite

The Astonishing is moving around though and is probably going to enter 'amazing' and round out the top 5. I am loving it so much.

Images and Words turned up today. Will give it a whirl at some point this week. Cheers again for the recommendations

I am so tempted to compose my own DT list now Maybe a couple more spins of some neglected albums first

These video game adaptations are very often more miss than hit. I'll have to try and check theirs out though and also that Iron Maiden game
