Dream Theater

JeffAsIAm, agreed on everything! However, i think the original posters intentions were different. Its a VERY tough question for true DT fans, most fans have a least favorite. Doesnt mean its bad, it just means it didnt resonate with them as much, and the proof is in the fact that DT is capable of releasing SO many dynamic different style albums, and the range of what people say is their least favorite isnt polarized. Those that dont like heavier metal dont like train of thought. Those that dont like more melodic prog wont like ADTOE. Its all taste. Im an odd fan in that i love it ALL. I soak in any kind of music theu write, as it is always fresh and so amazing and entertaining and exciting to listen to, and for different reasons. Learning to live helped me through a tough break up ... This dying soul i love cause of the sheer amazement of sound and technical skill. Its all incredible, they are true rounded perfect musicians.
And to be fairly anticlimactic i shall answer the original poster's question. Most songs on it were great, but because at the time they were having to dumb things down due to record label ultimatums ( i read the biography ) i have to say Falling into Infinity. Having to ok use of a different font for the album cover is more proof that album wasnt true DT. Its still great, and worlds above 95% of crap ecen today in 2011, but it is officiallu my least favorote DT album. There!
Typing on my phone sucks

As far as what DT i just plain don't like... Well.. I have every single song by them and every side or solo project on my phone ;)

None of the DT albums are so bad that I don't want to buy them. But there are some that I wouldn't fight for to get. Six Degrees, yes. Octavarium, Hella yes. Falling Into Infinite...... Eh?

I also wish I wouldv'e listened to BCandSL later on in my DT history. I think because I got it so early, and right after Images and Words and Octavarium, that it didn't meet the "awesome blow my mind 12 minute" solos I was expecting. I did love The Count of Tuscany though.

But now that I go back and listen to it, along with FintoI, I learn to like them.

If I HAD to pick a least favorite, it would have to be Black Clouds and Silver Linings because I only like three of the songs. Of course The Count of Tuscany is one of them.

@Tapring: I TOTALLY Agree. I love Count but other than that the others are... okay

@tarpring i used to think that about Bcals but then i had a good listen to the songs and know its one of my favourite BUT the best of the worst is probably falling into infinity BECAUSE i havent had a listen to all of the songs properly.

@,,/Drummerboy,,/: Falling into Infinite is not "Bad." It's just not as good as the rest of them. I suggest getting the demo Version of it. According to the description I think by Mike Portnoy, It's Falling into Infinite how they wanted it to sound like before the producers came and messed it up. I haven't listened to it but I'm assuming it's better than the actual album.

I would probably have to say for studio, Train of Thought. For me most of it is too "metaly". But it does have its moments especially in Endless sacrifice. and live I would say once in a livetime

I'm not a fan of Black Clouds & Silver Linings. It didn't connect with me at all.

However, I love all the others. My favorites being: A Dramatic Turn of Events, Systematic Chaos, Train of Thought, Six Degrees, Scenes From a Memory.
