Well no, but the melodies are fantastic, the quieter moments really bring out the best qualities in the band and the overall build up is gorgeous

I disagree. It's decent though, don't get me wrong.

^^What Choccy said, plus the second half is perfect and epic with minimal cheese

The soundscape in a Razor's Edge followed by Petrucci's solo is one of my favorite moments by them. I like AVOS too, but it just doesn't reach those highs

Agreed. ACOS has plenty of highs and amazing moments as well, and like I've said, it's a close second for me. But imo Octavarium just does everything perfectly and builds to their best crescendoes and moments and solos

A Change of Seasons' highs are just on a whole other level compared to the highs on Octavarium for me.

You two seem to be the only two users on this sight who prefer Octavarium.

t/t is good but the last third or so of ACoS is magnificent and chill-inducing. Can't top that.

The last third alone of the t/t beats anything DT related

True. The first half is pretty stunning anyway; hard to fault the song

Hard to fault a song that's perfect and a band's best, especially with 12 albums and 100+ songs
