I know "Dream Theater" in the way that I only had and heard one album, which is "Images and Words". It's simply GREAT !!! But it's all I know from them.
So, here's my question: Which of their albums do you think is the best, or, let's say it in a different way, which one should I buy NEXT to have a better idea of the band ???
I'm quite confused since they have lots of albums...

Thanks !

Definately go for Metropolis Part 2: Scenes From a Memory.
Awake would be my second choice.

Yes i second that, Awake is my 2nd fav album from them followed by Metropolis pt 2. And if youre a fan of live stuff, then i recommend Live Scenes from New York, truly amazing concert, LAbrie has really improved his vocals as time has gone on and just listening to A Change of Seasons alone makes the purchase a classic . :twisted:

I'd say a word of caution that Awake and Metropolis 2 are much harder to get into than I & W.

"Falling Into Infinity" for beginners. "Images And Words" is better (My favorite DT album), but "Falling Into Infinity" has a more 'commercial' sound and it's a bit easier to get into. If you like those, check out "Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence" and "Train Of Thought". Then go to "Awake".

Train of Thought is awesome! But like someone else said, you can't go wrong really.

Another 'vote' from me, I think Metropolis II is probably their best album so far, followed by Images and Words. They are close in quality, but different in sound. Expect heavier and less accessible music.

I would definately say go for Awake. It's a great album. All the others are good but if you like Images and Words i think Awake is their second best album.

I say try Ghost Reveries by Opeth... it's just how DT would sound if they we're something else than a bunch of useless wankers ! :P

and if you REALLY want some DT (which I can't understand) then Octavarium is their more acceptable...

I like some Opeth too. But I only have the album "Damnation". Great one (I have a very good CD collection - in my opinion - haha...), but surely the other albums of Opeth would deserve a look too !!! I'll keep Ghost Reveries in mind...
