What would you change about each album?

WDaDU - It is really not too bad, I really just think it could do with a proper remix, modernized since it was kind of rushed

Images & Words - Its fine

Awake - Sorry, but 'Scarred' does ZERO for me

Falling Into Infinity - well, I think the band would go back and fix this IF they could. Clearly they were being pressured by the label for snappy hits. 'A change of seasons' probably should have been on this album

Scenes from a Memory - X

Six Degrees - X

Train Of Thought - Never liked it, didn't think they could make an album worse than this, they did: TA. I was a fan of Metallica in the 80s, this is basically DT does Master of puppets. Some of it is OK, I guess I was just into the prog side more.. Octavarium - Replace These Walls and Answer Lies Within with better songs. Ask U2 to record I Walk Beside You. Make Sacrificed Sons more concise but keep the general idea. The rest can stay. Add a "repeat" function for the Razors Edge solo.

Systematic Chaos - Make Ministry of Lost Souls shorter. Keep Constant Motion. Take away the chanting in Prophets of War. Replace the rest with something better.

Black Clouds - REWRITE COUNT OF TUSCANY LYRICS. Make Nightmare to Remember and Best of Times shorter, there's too much fluff. Replace the rest with clips of John Petrucci working out. Also release cover album under a different title to give it an identity, it's actually pretty cool.

ADToE - Get rid of BMUBMD. Make Outcry and This is the Life better. Keep the rest. Maybe James LaBrie could do better here, but that's a little nitpicky.

Dream Theater - Make the entire album the boss-battle style that False Awakening Suite promised, complete with video. Songs about giant spiders controlled by Myung's fingers trying to take down the rhythmic regime of Mech-Mangini. Move The Bigger Picture onto a different album to accommodate this as it's actually a great song and shouldn't go to waste.

The Astonishing - Rewrite lyrics into a story that fits into the 80 minutes of brilliant music that is here. Receive five star reviews from everyone. Discard the filler or rerelease as a bloopers reel with Myung on vocals.
