I'm pretty much the same, except that I have Crystal Ball last. I'm not sure why, but that one didn't resonate as much with me. It feels wrong to me that Equinox is not in this list (predates TS), but if it were, I'd put it between P08 and PT.

The Grand Illusion
Pieces of Eight
Cornerstone
Crystal Ball
Paradise Theater
Brave New World
Kilroy Was Here

In no means am I saying albums like BNW and Kilroy are bad by ranking them on the bottom. Well, Kilroy is half bad. It's just that their albums are fantastic and there's very little room between the ranks. Especially with the first 3 or 4.

I concur with masque

GI
Po8
Crystal Ball
Paradise Theatre
Cornerstone
BNW
Kilroy

If you include Equinox slot it #3 If you include Cyclorama puit it in a tie with Cornerstone.

Brave New World had SO much potential had it been mixed and produced properly. And if "Hip Hop" and "Just Fell In" had been omitted.
