Which do you think is the better album?

Not that Accelerated Evolution isn't an amazing album.

Since this isn't a question about which hostage we're gonna shoot first, then the answer is pretty straight forward.

OM. Has the greater depth and emotion and thats what pulls me into Dev's albums. AE is great in its own way but OM was the first Dev album for me and has a special place in my heart :-)

But they are different! They do different things! In different ways!

Sometimes I don't want that full OM experience, so I opt for a bit of AE. Other days I need to be absorbed into the world of OM and only OM will suffice. I suppose they have some similarities, but OM is more of a unified entity than AE, which is more a collection of (sometimes similar) songs.

...but I voted OM. Ha.

Yikes, I'm the only one that picked AE. It is just the album that tickles my fancy better. Ocean Machine is above and beyond amazing to me, but I just enjoy listening through AE more myself.

To me AE is just a collection of 9 great songs. All catchy and potential singles. OM is more connected but not as catchy. I guess OM is more of an accomplishment though.

Ocean Machine, of course.
I love AE in its own way but OM is more artistic, in my opinion. Nothing can ever take TDOM's place!

OM has an amazing atmosphere, that's why I picked that one. AE is more of a straight-forward rock album, with a collection of catchy songs, where OM is really one piece, a masterpiece maybe.

I honestly prefer Accelerated Evolution.

Unfortunately, AE seems to be the most underrated album. When you look at all the polls, it seems that nobody like AE, I can't believe it, because i love it very much. i can't decide if its better than OM. I think all of Devs albums are uniqe.

Yeah before I first listened to AE, I expected bad crunch riffs and screaming. I was blown away by what I heard.

Ocean Machine, no contest there. AE ranks probably as the weakest Dev solo effort in my books.

You could put any album by any band as the second option, and I would still choose Biomech. I just like it that much.
