i think that those 2 albums are great, of course
i like Images & Words just because every song has it's own character. i mean, Another Day is great because of the trumpet ( it is a trumpet, right?), Take The Time is cool because it has this funky vibe in the verses. then you have Surrounded and Metropolis ( i don't need to explain why those two are great )
It was actually a ''long'' time ago since i listened to Awake, but after i listened the cd ( while playing FIFA ), i hit the ''play''-button again because i thought it was great before that evening i actually only listened to Innocence Faded ( fucking epic ending !) and Space-Dye Vest but now i like the album in it's entirety
I have the Japanese imported version of Awake and the dude who sold it to me said that that version is mixed better or something, maybe it's because of that
