FullOfSounds 07.20.16	Perfect albums in my opinion: Deftones' White Pony, OK Computer, Opeth's Blackwater Park, and Godspeed You!'s F#F# (infinity)
Tyler. 07.20.16	Is the one I'm writing rn
user 07.20.16	yeah def gotta go with tyler's solo work
SirDrumsalot 07.20.16	Dredg - El Cielo has zero low point for me.
Faraudo 07.20.16	^^Agreed, El Cielo has zero low points. Blink-182's self titled is also a perfect album for me. Massive Attack's Mezzanine could also be one, Karnivool's Sound Awake, Radiohead's Kid A, NIN's The Downward Spiral, etc.
Djang0 07.20.16	Gotta be motW's Bath, Kid A, Bjork's Vespertine
user 07.20.16	but seriously I don't think I could really consider any album perfect. or at least not yet. lift your skinny fists has been my favorite album for many many years but it certainly does have its shortcomings
brainmelter 07.21.16	no such thing as perfect but, ulcerate - everythang is fire
Sevengill 07.21.16	I'm gonna get torched for suggesting power metal, but every song on Gamma Ray's "Land of the Free" is 5 stars.
Typhoon24 07.21.16	oh fuck blackwater park i just relistened to it
porcupinetheater 07.21.16	Don't know how measure anything as perfect, but there's plenty of albums that I wouldn't change a single note on.
TVC15 07.21.16	I wouldn't say a single album is perfect because a lot are but several albums do make me feel a lot of different emotions in the album's span like The Holy Bible, A Love Supreme, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, and a few others.
Typhoon24 07.21.16	oh there can be more than one. definition i was thinking is more along the lines of porcupine's comment about not wanting to change anything on it. and I mean ANY change. like if one song in the album is slow to start and that sliiiiightly annoys you, the album is no longer perfect.
Sevengill 07.21.16	this is a dumb question, then. it's art, not science.
Typhoon24 07.21.16	i know. im curious and was looking for a discussion about related topics, too. i dont think there is a right answer or way to get there. i wanna know more about things like the subjective vs objective values we give to albums.
Typhoon24 07.21.16	and music appreciation is more of a science than you might think
Rolling Girl 07.21.16	~ by Iamthemorning is a pretty magical album if you ask me.
MistaCrave 07.21.16	Gotta be The Mantle for me, I love every second of it. Even if it wasn't perfect initially, I've adapted to it and learned to love everything on it for what it is
Wearingyourmomsface 07.21.16	I guess it's all subjective. One man's perfect is another man's pile of sh!t.
Sevengill 07.21.16	"and music appreciation is more of a science than you might think" As a music theory major, I cannot argue against that for a moment.
Wearingyourmomsface 07.21.16	On a positive note though, Altar of Plaques - Teethed in Glory and Injury is pretty much on the verge of perfection. IMO
Wearingyourmomsface 07.21.16	Oh as well as Agalloch - The Mantle.
Sevengill 07.21.16	The Mantle's pretty close. I honestly don't like A Desolation Song and it dampens the album for me. I wish it just ended with the reprise of the opening in Great Cold Death.
MistaCrave 07.21.16	That honestly would've been a perfect way to end the album, but I still love A Desolation Song
RogueNine 07.21.16	I'm always picky about something, so I doubt I'll find a perfect album.
StallionMang 07.21.16	disintegration is the closest thing i can think of to the perfect record not so much because almost every track on there is a highlight, but because of how it flows from track to track, getting darker and darker, sending you on this introspective journey of diminishing hope
Sevengill 07.21.16	Sounds like Pelagial. That album has a couple hiccups but the full journey is awesome.
Ebola 07.21.16	Alice in Chains - Dirt Interesting that you should pick Number of the Beast for this list--it has a handful of stone-cold classic songs, but the album itself is frustratingly inconsistent. Persefone's "Core" has a chance of reaching that perfect level, but I haven't listened to it enough times to make that final call yet.
torts 07.21.16	aeroplane
SandwichBubble 07.21.16	Stop lookin for the perfect album, boys. Make it yourself. You're the only one who knows what you want in your music.
MistaCrave 07.21.16	That's a loooooooot easier said than done
mattmkay 07.21.16	Porcupine Tree - Deadwing
0GuyMan0 07.21.16	I think there are perfect albums. I also don't necessarily think that implies that fans of the genre should universally regard it as so. If everything they do is what they set out to create, if every note makes sense in context with the rest of the album, if it is clearly a standout success....K its fucking impossible to explain where I'm coming from without talking myself into a corner. So here are some perfect albums, IMO: Queensryche - Operation:Mindcrime (Rage For Order also garners serious consideration) Rage Against the Machine - S/T The Cure - Disintegration Rosetta - The Galilean Satellites Tool - Lateralus Brand New - The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me Megadeth - Rust in Peace
0GuyMan0 07.21.16	Just noticed someone mentioned Teethed Glory and Injury earlier. Fucking right on. Goddamn I miss that band.
DoofusWainwright 07.21.16	4 is one of the least consistent albums I've ever heard :/
Drifter 07.21.16	The only album I could truly give a perfect rating for is Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
TVC15 07.21.16	As much as I agree, why you gotta be such a Debbie Downer, Doof?
Mystletainn 07.21.16	There's no such thing as a perfect album so just rate 5/5 according to your taste
50iL 07.21.16	Hmm… I'd give a perfect rating to John Coltrane - A Love Supreme and Coroner - Mental Vortex. Haven't found any others tho.
0GuyMan0 07.21.16	There's no such thing as a perfect album so just rate 5/5 according to your taste Mathematically this comment doesn't make a ton of sense.
trve 07.21.16	there are quite some albums i would call "perfect" but those aren't the ones i enjoy the most, some albums need the flaws to make them what they are i.e. i consider my arms your hearse perfect from front to back, frances the mute certainly not, yet i enjoy frances the mute a lot more
Keyblade 07.21.16	been found it, it's called Loveless
Keyblade 07.21.16	Stronghold is pre perf too
porcupinetheater 07.21.16	"really it's not a flaw if it's something you enjoy" fucking 123
Sevengill 07.21.16	Stronghold drags so much though
RadicalEd 07.21.16	Animals - Pink Floyd
zakalwe 07.21.16	If you are looking for perfection you're in the wrong game. Dark Side of the Moon.
Piglet 07.21.16	Perfection is called OK Computer and The Dark Side of the Moon
Mystletainn 07.21.16	"Mathematically this comment doesn't make a ton of sense." My comment doesn't require math to figure out so your comment doesn't make sense to me.
theBoneyKing 07.21.16	Well a perfect album would have all 5/5 tracks and I have not yet and probably never will find one.
Couteau 07.21.16	Considering art (lyrics, concept, cover) and personal tastes, if I had to choose one, it would be in this short list : Tool - Lateralus & Aenima Pink Floyd - Animals & Wish You Were Here Rage Against The Machine - S/T King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
Mystletainn 07.21.16	"Well a perfect album would have all 5/5 tracks and I have not yet and probably never will find one." That's exactly what I mean, if you're rating albums based on "perfection" you're kind of missing the point of rating albums imo. I look for a style I love then look for "perfection" within said style but that's just me. If I only gave 5's to perfect albums I'd never have any 5's ever.
BenMorrison 07.21.16	Perfect albums for me: Lucifer's Friend - Banquet Captain Beyond - Captain Beyond Pentagram - Sub-Basement Saint Vitus - Die Healing Trapeze - Medusa Budgie - Bandolier Paul Chain - Life and Death Black Sabbath - Sabotage
VisionsFromTheDarkSide 07.21.16	Lift Your Skinny Fists is probably the closest thing to perfection I can find
AsleepInTheBack 07.21.16	GY!BE have often come close. There are albums that mean an awful lot to me for personal reasons that musically are excellent (but not perfect) which I wouldn't change one bit, so if thats the definition of perfect we're using then sure, most of my 5's are perfect in my humble opinion.
guitarded_chuck 07.21.16	F#A# and Animals are the two only two I can think
Avagantamos 07.21.16	autechre - draft 7.30 cannibal ox - the cold vein gorguts - obscura
UpwardSpiral 07.21.16	Unwound - Leaves Turn Inside You. Everything is flawless, perfect album.
Sevengill 07.21.16	Nightwish - End of an Era is perfect.
worthlessscab 07.21.16	There is only one objectively perfect. Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom
Futures 07.21.16	lift your skinny fists like antennas to heaven
Tunaboy45 07.21.16	Tempted to say In Rainbows
evilford 07.21.16	pink floyd - dark side of the moon, animals, and wywh the unholy trinity
Tunaboy45 07.21.16	^ good shout
RogueNine 07.22.16	Interesting perspectives. I could only give a 5 to something I could really say is "perfect" but everyone has their own idea of what constitutes a 5.
Sevengill 07.22.16	I usually 5 my AOTY and work from there (barring a drought year), so my ratings are more relative than absolute.
Deez 07.22.16	Kayo Dot- Choirs of the eye
