Absolutely 100% PERFECT albums...

Guardian of Darkness said:
None. No such thing, for me. There's lots of album I love, but I wouldn't consider any of them to be 100% perfect.
I think I have to second that. But if I had to name one I'd chose Pink Floyd's Darkside Of The Moon.

But there are some examples of PERFECT Songs, and Opeth made some of those. :)
 
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Tool - Lateralus
Opeth - Still Life
Tom Waits - Entire Back Catalogue
Jean Michel Jarre - Equinoxe
Deftones - White Pony
Faith no More - Angel Dust
Jeff Wayne - War of the Worlds
Enslaved - Below the Lights
Frank Zappa - Joe's Garage
Emperor - Emperial Live Ceremony
A Perfect Circle - Mer De Nomes

loads more
 
Blackwater Park is flawless...

As far as anything else I can think of right now...

Vintersorg- Cosmic Genesis (quite possibly the greatest album of all time) and Odemarken's Son are pefect.

DT- The Gallery
 
4? difficult, but what the hell:
1. OPETH - Still Life - every track is a masterpiece
2. OPETH - Morningrise - thrilling everytime I listen to it
3. IMMOLATION - Unholy Cult - incredible. I have never thought you can play like this
4. BLOODBATH - Ressurection Through Carnage - no weak tracks
 
Genesis-Foxtrot
Weezer-Pinkerton
Led Zeppelin-Houses Of The Holy
Vintersorg-Visions From the Spiral Generator
Charles Mingus-Mingus Ah Um
and as its coming along
Enslaved-Blodhemn
 
I wouldn't say that ANY album is 100% perfect, but that all depends on how you describe perfect I spose.
The albums that are almost perfect in my book are:

Opeth - Still Life, Morningrise, and both Deliverance & Damnation.
Deliverance took me a while to get into, but after seeing the songs live and constant repeat listens, its fast becoming my most played Opeth record. Damnation is just sheer mellow brilliance, some of that album I would call perfect. And Still Life, well, all I have to say is The Moor, Benighted and Face Of Melinda. One of the best records ever made. Period. Morningrise is atmosphere plus, technicaly not as awe-inspiring as their later albums, but that accoustic work. wow. To Bid You Farewell, one of my favourate songs of all time (as you might've already noticed) :D

Tool - Ænima & Lateralus.
Basicaly, if you don't own these albums you deserve to be hung, drawn, and quartered. They have the best vocalest in the world in MJK and Danny Carey is not human he's a freekin' octopus. Superior in every way, they have no peers except for Opeth as far as consistantly incredible albums and songs. :OMG:

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here.
I know everyone probably goes for DSOTM as far as their best album, but this one takes the cake. Shine On You Crazy Diamond..that intro..wow.
I also rate The Final Cut pretty highly, not for it's technical songwriting but for sheer unadulterated emotion. Waters poured his heart and soul into this album, and you can tell.

Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde on Blonde.
Was to songwriting what Hendrix was to the gueetar.The man is an absolute lyrical genius (well duh) :Spin: He was basicaly a poet with an accoustic and a harmonica. 'Tombstone Blues' and ' Highway 61 Revisited' have the most insanely obscure yet brilliant lyrics I have ever heard. :yow:

I'm sure there is a few more, I'll think of them later :D
 
Opeth - Morningrise
Isis - Oceanic
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing
Machine Head - Burn my eyes
and possibly..Metallica - Master of Puppets (flame shields up)
 
Kayo Dot - Choirs of the Eye
Maudlin of the Well - Bath
Ephel Duath - The Painter's Palette
Empyrium - Weiland
Opeth - Still Life
Anathema - Judgement
My Dying Bride - Songs of Darkness Words of Light

These ones are just genious masterpieces.......IMO they are perfect........
 
Opeth - Still Life, Blackwater Park

Metallica - Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightning, And Justice For All ánd the Black Album

Slayer - Reign in Blood, Seasons in the Abyss

Megadeth - Rust in Peace, Countdown to Extinction

Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime

Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction

Machine Head - Burn My Eyes

Arch Enemy - Wages of Sin

Pearl Jam - Ten

Alice in Chains - Dirt

Chris Isaac - Forever Blue (I am NOT kidding!!!)

Type O Negative - Bloody Kisses

Testament - The Gathering

Paradise Lost - Shades of God, Icon

Madball - Hold it Down, Set it Off

Biohazard - Urban Discipline

Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son

They are all great in their own "genre". Some albums I don't play that much anymore, but they all had their fair deal of being played. And they are great no matter what.

I probably forgot some....
