Perfect AlbumsMusic

[35mm]

Guns n' Roses - Use Your Illusion I & II
Amorphis - Elegy
The Haunted - The Haunted

 

[regulate]

For me it would have to be these:
Dmx-flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood.
Tiesto-ISOS 2
Ferry Corsten-global trancemission 02
Tool-a/enima, lateralus(sp?)
APC-MDN, 13th step
sasha-airdrawndagger, involver
ace combat 4 sdt
papa roach-lovehatetragedy
theory of a dead man-self titled
fuel-something like human, natural selection
orgy- candyass, nice to see another orgy fan on the board!

 

[hondaracer88]

AC/DC-Powerage and Back in Black
Van Halen-1984
Led Zeppelin IV

 

[slackbladder]

I've never heard a perfect album..but these are pretty close....

Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
Crystal Planet - Joe Satriani
Hounds of Love - Kate Bush (no, seriously!)
Live and Dangerous - Thin Lizzy
Tales of Mystery and Imagination - The Alan Parsons Project
Electric Ladyland - Jimi Hendrix
China - Vangelis
Pronounced Leh-nerd Skin-nerd - Lynyrd Skynyrd

 

[Bahbo]

Maxell - CD-R 700mb

 

[Cano]

mmhh... hard.
I haven't heard a perfect album, but some are indeed close to it. Led Zeppelin nailed it many times with most of their CDs, but the really damn one is II. Pink Floyd's Dark side of the moon and wish you were here are also amazing. Concept abums of this caliber are hard to come by today... The Flaming Lip's Yoshimi Battles the pink Robots is an album that almost makes it, and also Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. The Pillows' Happy Bovouac is also damn good, and Cowboy Bebops OST 3: Blue, is also close. Boren and der Club of Gore's Black Earth is an amazing piece of jazz noir, it reaches an amazing level of quasiperfection, but you have to be in the mood to apreciate it. if we are just talking about albums in wich all songs are cool, I'd Say HEM's Rabbit Songs IS perfect.

Cano

but that aint an album to me. Oh, Massive Attacks Mezzannine comes cloooose too.

 

[2ez2KiLL]

Yellowcard - Ocean Avenue
Usher - Confessions
Kanye West - College dropout

 

[gtavcfan]

For me? All of the albums by Mötley Crüe are perfect
Especially Dr. Feelgood and Too Fast for Love

Some others:

Slayer - Diabolus in Musica, Divine Intervention, and Regin in Blood
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Megadeth - Peace Sells...But Who's Buyin'?
Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power, and Cowboys from Hell

&
Slipknot - Slipknot, Iowa, and Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses.


Dr. Feelgood Kicks Ass!!

From my orignal post, I'm going to add:

Slayer - Show No Mercy
Cinderella - Hot Nights

Edit: Dammit, I messed up Cinderella's album. Its called Night Songs not Hot nights

 

[GilesGuthrie]

I still stand by it [The Fat of the Land] being their worst album, then their newest one being slightly less worse with a few memorable tracks on it.

I can listen to the whiole of The Prodigys - Experience album though.

Absolutely. The Fat of the Land was good, for the 60 minutes it took to play it for the first time. There was no longevity to it at all. Whereas Music for the Jilted Generation still remains a work of genius.

Radiohead's The Bends is pretty close to perfection.
Coldplay's A Rush of Blood to the Head is similarly excellent.
Depeche Mode's Violator was as good as they were ever going to be.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

I've got fairly limited collection, so my choices are also pretty limited. There are a select few that don't get the skip button, though.

Coldplay - A Rush Of Blood To The Head - It took me a while to get used to the style in contrast to Parachute's starkness, but it's a massively fulfilling listen.
Death Cab For Cutie - Transatlanticism - There's a flow here that's missing in nearly all other albums. It just seems wrong to skip a song.
Incubus - A Crow Left Of The Murder - Another "originally skeptical" one, but it seems I'm not alone in thinking it quite good.

But for me, the one that really outshines them all is...

Brand New - Deja Entendu - No matter how many times I listen to it, it never gets stale, and I can't find a weak point in any of it. Superb.

A few honourable mentions:

Lostprophets - Start Something
Matthew Good - Avalanche
The Verve - Urban Hymns

 

[Gturismo1]

Van Halen - 5150
- Proved Van Halen could still kick some ass, even with a new lead singer

Van Halen - Van Halen
- The original album that stunned the rock crowd and changed it forever.

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
- Words cannot describe


Just a few of my picks

 

[emad]

Dredg's album (I forget the name)
Metallica: Metallica (the dvd audio album)
Pretty much anything by Rammstein

 

[fermy88]

"Give Up" by the Postal Service
"Cruel Intentions Soundtrack"

 

[Heihachi]

Original Pirate Material album doesn’t put a foot wrong. Pity bout the new one.

 

[Race Idiot]

Absolutely. The Fat of the Land was good, for the 60 minutes it took to play it for the first time. There was no longevity to it at all. Whereas Music for the Jilted Generation still remains a work of genius.

True, i'd say Prodigy were at their peak when they produced Gilted Generation. But I just love their original house'esque sound on the first album. Actually i'm liking always outnumbered never outgunned quite a bit now, although practically every track is a colaboration. But it's a good thing with all the different styles, I mean what album can you find that features the Gallagher brothers, Twista and Kool Keith?

Dredg's album (I forget the name)

El Cielo? I think the other one is self entitled.

I have El Cielo in my car.

I must add At The Drive In - Relationship of command and The Mars Volta - De Loused in the comatorium both of which I waould have to hack your hand off before you managed to press the skip track button.

 

[HATEKORE]

superjoint ritual cds = perfect

 

[Heihachi]

Ben Harper: fight for your mind. I listen to every song

 

[Heihachi]

double

 

[Shannon]

At first I didn't care much for it, but after a few hours listening to it back to back, Panter - "Vulgar Display of Power" gets the label of "perfect" album.

 

[Delphic Reason]

Electronic: Orbital - The middle of nowhere, Squarepusher - Big Loada, Underworld - Beucop fish(sp?)

Classic rock: Led Zeppelin - Houses of the holy, Pink Floyd - Wish you were here (and Darkside of the moon)

[Anaconda]

Almost anything from De La Soul.
