09.21.16 | List is alphabetized because I'm not entirely sure about a ranking, though OKC would likely be #1, followed by L&L. |
AsleepInTheBack
09.21.16 | I dont think any of my 5s are full 5s, all have slight flaws that bring em to like 4.8/4.9. If I had to pick one I'd say Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea comes very close to full marks for me. |
CzechyGuy
09.21.16 | Captain, We're Sinking - The Future is Cancelled is mine. The songs are so powerful and when the chorus of Brother occurs once again in the closer Shoddy Workmanship, it just hits..so hard. I could write a lot of stuff about each and every song, 'cause they're all so great. |
DoofusWainwright
09.21.16 | Only one - The The 'Infected', all the rest are 4.8-4.9 |
LotusFlower
09.21.16 | all my 5s are full on 5s tbh |
AsleepInTheBack
09.21.16 | Envious of that man, I need to check more musics and find some more full 5s |
TVC15
09.21.16 | Only like at most 30 of my 5s are hard 5/5 |

09.21.16 | "Envious of that man, I need to check more musics and find some more full 5s"
I dont want to claim that my enjoyment of albums I consider 'classics' stem from the fact that im more easily entertained by the things I listen to, but I find myself sometimes becoming more biased of certain works if I find they have qualities that make them far more extraordinary than other records. Like lets say the new car seat headrest, theres no reason for the two tracks after costa concordia to exist at all, which in the liberal use of the term "objectively speaking", should make it a 4.7 or a 4.8, but the rest of the album is so great that these flaws start to phase out and i keep viewing the album as a straight 5/5. i dunno. its more of feeling than "objectivity" for me. |
Sinternet
09.21.16 | just realised i have like 170 5s |
Sinternet
09.21.16 | have you ever 5d albums just for like two or three phenomenal tracks |
AlexKzillion
09.21.16 | Completely agree Lotus |
AlexKzillion
09.21.16 | I mean cl0ver |
wtferrothorn
09.21.16 | I'd say 4 of my 10 5's are full on 5/5:
Sufjan Stevens - The Age of Adz
Modest Mouse - The Lonesome Crowded West
Clarence Clarity - No Now
Weezer - Pinketon |
SandwichBubble
09.21.16 | I dont think any of my 5s are full 5s [2]
except Pleasureman, but that's just a given |
DoofusWainwright
09.21.16 | I think if you definitively have an absolute favourite album above all others then it makes sense that will be your only true 5
If not then I don't really see the point of making a distinction between the ratings within your 5's |
theNateman
09.21.16 | Pet sounds is a hard 5 for me.
Eyedea and abilities' by the throat too.
Gorillaz demon days too.
That's probably it |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
09.21.16 | None of these are 5s |
adr
09.21.16 | "just realised i have like 170 5s"

Lord(e)Po)))ts
09.21.16 | @Adr tbf u 5d f#a#(sideways 8) and that only has 3 phenomenal songs.. |
Sinternet
09.21.16 | my ratings are precious and objective fact thank you very much and good day |
wwf
09.21.16 | literally none of my 5s are hard 5s |
adr

You make some good points my man. I suppose I was thinking that for a record to be a full 5 every song on it need be a (subjective) 5/5, and pretty much all of my 5s have one or two tracks that fall to like a 4 or 4.5. In terms of sheer love of a record as a whole though I'd say about half of my 5s are full in that sense, despite having a song or two that slips, often due to what the record means to me. |
CalculatingInfinity
09.21.16 | Albums: 5 of them. Godspeed's F#A#Infinity, Meshuggah's Catch 33, Mr Bungle's California, The Mortal's I Am Mortal and X Japan's Art of Life.
Ep's: 2 perfect 5's that being Gackt's Mizerable and Godspeed's Slow Riot.
Concerts: 4 of them. |
AsleepInTheBack

Sinternet
09.21.16 | yeah but ALL of yours are basic bitch 5s at least i got something different |
bloc
09.21.16 | "Which albums are your hardest 5s? As in, not just a 4.8 or 4.9, but a full-fledged 5/5?"
If this were the case, I would honestly have no 5s |
Avagantamos
09.21.16 | autechre - draft 7.30 |
theBoneyKing

OK Computer

High Violet
Car Wheels on a Gravel Road
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Transatlanticism
Funeral |
ArsMoriendi
09.21.16 | I don't know if any albums are truly "perfect" but these comes closest for me:
Cocteau Twins - Treasure
Mr. Bungle - California
Parliament - Mothership Connection (not necessarily one of my all time favorites, but it's impossible to find a flaw here)
PJ Harvey - To Bring You My Love
The Mothers of Invention - We're Only in It for the Money
The United States of America - The United States of America
Ween - Chocolate and Cheese |
calmrose
09.21.16 | definitely Neutral Milk Hotel-In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
others that are pretty close:

Orchid-Gatefold
City of Caterpillar-s/t
The Microphones-The Glow Pt. 2 |
BrandNewEyes
09.21.16 | I don't really think too hard about the specific 5ness of my 5s |
Artuma
09.21.16 | City of Caterpillar-s/t [2] |
LotusFlower
09.21.16 | actually a more simple way to describe my 5s is that theyre more feeling than objectivity. Albums rated between a 4.7-4.9 usually end up in my 4.5s instead. |
