I would have to say AWAKE, how ever as quick as I say this I think of some of the great moments in it, so I will just have to say it's probably the least listened to. Once in a Livetime has vocal issues ,but the creativity in some of the songs combining with other artist is pretty cool .(Peruvian Skies). There is also just so much content on Livetime. (but hey that's what DT does) especially the video 5yrs in a Livetime.

As I say though the worst DT is better still than anything else!!

I have to say Octavarium and Black Clouds and Silver linings. Can't really stand to listen to either one of them. The mixing is weird (especially on Octo) and the songs just don't sound like they cared. Before these albums there was probably never even 1 DT song that I didn't like. Each of these probably have 6 or more songs I don't like.

Awake and Falling Into Infinity were much worse as for as sound and songs

Easily BC&SL . There's not one song on that album that I like. Gotta say, SC and 8VM would be close seconds, but they at least have 1 or 2 songs I like on each.

I don't think there is a DT album out there that I can honestly put down as my least favorite, even Falling into Infinity!!! Every album has something great on them. There are a few, as I call them, klunkers along the way, but their great songs clearly outweigh their few bad songs. Now as far as least favorite SONGS, now that's easy, I've got a few on my list. But this is about albums, right?

Least favorite: Systematic Chaos (though as a song I'd say I Walk Beside You)

Favorite is actually WDADU, though I understand the complaints against it. I just listen to it the most often, never get tired of it (even after all these years, though it did initially take some getting used to), and the remaster is a big improvement in sound quality.

Scenes, ACoS, and ToT are all really up there too. And others, but those jump out at me right now. It's too early to tell where Black Clouds or ADToE will fit into the picture, though while they may not end up all-time favorites they're both better IMO than Octavarium or SC. I was worried about the band during that period; a lot of the stuff then just didn't sound so deeply inspired to me (though there are still good things to be found). I could see the charge being made against BC&SL too, but I thought the songwriting was better on that one, solos fit the songs, etc.

And to Psygnosis: it had precisely 6 tracks. :)
