Perfect Albums?

[Lukeje]

I've just realised I've posted several times in this thread, and not actually given my opinion. Oh well... here goes.

In my eyes, there is no such thing as a perfect album. If there were, then I would have no need to ever listen to any album ever again. I would just listen to that one. Thus there is no perfect album, just many imperfect ones. Though the album that has come closest is Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout...

 

[cthulhu257]

American Idiot, by Green Day.

 

[Resistance205]

Hand built By Robots by Newton Faulkner, perfect relaxing album!
Bleed American by Jimmy Eat World
Commit This To Memory by Motion City Soundtrack
Transatlanticism by Death Cab For Cutie
Plans by Death Cab For Cutie.
Lafcadio by As Tall As Lions

Give me time, I could go on.

Edit:

Takk by Sigur ros

nuff said.

Amazing album.

Also, Rebuilt By Humans by Newton Faulkner.

Really? It is an amazing album, but I don't think it is as good as his first. That's, of course, just my opinion however.

 

[Primee133]

Come Get Some - Renard
Senor Smoke - Electric Six

 

[More Fun To Compute]

Mezzanine by Massive Attack.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band.

Mars Audiac Quintet by Stereolab.

The Natural Bridge by Silver Jews.

This Is Our Punk-Rock by The Silver Mt Zion.

I could go on.

 

[gamefreakbsp]

Disturbed's Indestructible and Metallica's Master of Puppets

 

[Wilbot666]

I've only got a couple that I think fit the category but here they are:

Aenima by Tool

The Mind's I by Dark Tranquility

Ten by Pearl Jam

 

[Holossus]

easily nearly every Radiohead and Isis Release. Soundscapes and pure artistic compositions.

 

[Andantil]

Ghost Reveries by Opeth
Rise of the Tyrant by Arch Enemy
Forget me Not by Dark Lunacy
Future Sight by Monochrome and Colored Records
Crack the Skye by Mastodon
Hardcore Syndrome and Hardcore Syndrome 2 by Hardcore Tano*c

 

[initialdelay]

Not technically an album, but the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour double EP is what I'm listening to right now, and it's pretty damn flawless

 

[Casual Shinji]

OK Computer by Radiohead.

It was actually the first album I ever bought so maybe it's a bit of nostalgia speaking.

I would agree with some posts on here:

The Devil and God are Raging Inside of Me - Brand New, my favourite album of all time.

Kid A - Radiohead - second favourite, flows beautifully.

Death Cab - Transatlantacism
and Protest the Hero - Kesia are both amazing from start to finish.

Good taste, Escapist!

 

[lukemdizzle]

Wish You Were Hear by pink floyd is by far the best album ever. followed by Remain In Light by talking heads

Overkill-Motorhead
Master of puppets-Metallica
Ride the lightning-Metallica
...And justice for all-Metallica
Ace of spades-Motorhead
Powerslave-Iron maiden
Killing is my buisness...And buisness is good!-Megadeth

By the way-Red hot chilli peppers
Elect the dead-Serj tankian
Death magnetic-Metallica
Let there be rock-AC/DC
Highway to hell-AC/DC

shut up Shamus the dog is a good song.

 

[ntnimara]

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

AC/DC - Back in Black

The Pixies - Doolittle

just off the top of my opinion

 

[RanD00M]

Pink Floyd.I have yet to hear a single bad song by them.

That was a good song.

 

[Sgtkillalot0]

The Sufferer and The Witness - Rise Against, impossible not to love

 

[Daniel Cygnus]

Between the Buried and Me- Colors

Great album that flows seemlessly from one song to another, technically the album is just one long song.

Just coming on to post this. Love, love, LOVE that album...especially Foam Born A. So damn happy.

Also, welcome to the Escapist!
