Heaviest Dream Theater Albums

The Top Ten
1 Train of Thought

The entire album is so loud and heavy. All the tracks are the heaviest Dream Theater has to offer. Lyrically, yes, still the heaviest. If you are a fan of heavy/progressive metal, don't miss it. It will not disappoint you.

Damn this is a heavy and aggressive album. Especially the last track, in one part James is screaming and singing normally at the same time via layered vocals.

When we talk about heaviness, this is the only album that almost have all their heaviest songs.

2 Systematic Chaos

My favorite very heavy

3 Awake

I actually think this is heavier than TOT. Also the guitar tone is MUCH heavier. It's also my favourite

The sheer intensity of 6:00, The Mirror, & Lie are awesome.

Two words: The Mirror

4 Black Clouds & Silver Linings

Heavier than six degrees

5 Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence

Black clouds is way heavier than this album the first four songs are heavy but that is it.

Yes very heavy like goodnight kiss and solitary shell lol

6 Octavarium

Not that heavy outside of Panic Attack and The Root of All Evil. Probably my favorite, though.

This album is heavy if you like pop

Heavier then most people think.

7 Dream Theater
8 A Dramatic Turn of Events

Lost Not Forgotten is very heavy in my opinion.

9 Images and Words
10 Metropolis Part 2: Scenes from a Memory
The Contenders
11 Distance Over Time

This TOT and awake are the heaviest in my opinion

12 When Dream and Day Unite
13 Falling Into Infinity

Most of this album doesn't even feel like metal to me. It might as well just be straight up progressive rock.

14 The Astonishing
