I voted for:
Altars
Blessed
Formulas
The songwriting seems to be strongest on those albums, and there's a special vibe they three share that the others don't seem to possess. Especially Altars; definitely revolutionized my world.

I think my top fav has to be Gateways. this album is so epic. the drumming is completely amazing. secured limitations alone makes this album win.

nothing is not is my fav of the album. heaving earth although is my least favorite. an awesome song though, i love it. especially the vocal phrasing for the part of "spirits of purifying flames remember, ect"

Blessed are the sick is my favorite. Then Altars. Formulas because it is a bit of a comeback album. And it worked out surpisingly well.

I've been listening to A and B alot more this year. It changes back and forth, I'm sure I'll be listening to the others more soon again.

also the solos on Covenant & Invocation give me a hard on! Probably the most feel & passion of all of Treys solos (on any album)

the solos are cool, the section at about 2:12, but that's about all i can say for that song.

Altars, Formulas, Blessed for me.
Altars was the most revolutionary and changed the way i looked at music completely.
Formulas, for me, is the heaviest and fastest and i love the insanity of the solos.
Invocation of the continual one
Blessed has desolate ways a day of suffering, two tracks that always bring me back to a particular time.
Blessed really stands out on it's own as an individual work- it could so easily have been overshadowed by Altars.

A
B
...and an equal tie for F and G for me, sorry I can't arsed enough to pick one.
IMHO G is sooo fucking horribly underrated (probably the most underrated in the entire MA catalog) that it's not even funny!
G is much like a perfected version of D.
