Relationship Of Command.

I'm not just a fanboy of that album, though, I also enjoyed their other releases, but I think that is their greatest, and most would agree.

In/Casino/Out is also a very good album, though on average, the tracks are less intense.

It seems they got better and better with every release.

Ahahaha, I voted for ATDI by accident, but yeah. TMV is my favourite modern band, it eclipses all else and is the only true (or even close to being) mainstream/semi-mainstream modern prog band. It's actually doing stuff that sounds different, and it does it so well. I love all their albums but Bedlam did it so much more for me recently. Amputechture however blew my mind completely when I first heard it. It's all good. But ATDI is mediocre at best, total crap generally.

I thought Bedlam was by far their best work.
