Are there any albums you consider "perfect?"

I have very few albums, that I could ever consider perfect, and while I do give a good amount of albums 10/10, very little of them ever are flawless.

The three albums I find to be 100% amazing, are:

Pain of Salvation - The Perfect Element
Tiamat - Wildhoney
Solefald - In Harmonia Universali
 
Opeth - My Arms, Your Hearse (the original, without the stupid bonus tracks at the end)

Can't really think of anything else off the top of my head.

The closest thing for me would be Reign in Blood by Slayer. There just isn't a bad song on the album.
Haha, the irony of your name just fitting along with your post made me smile.
 
Clouds > Wildhoney. I wish Wildhoney had more songs like 'visionaire'.

Amorphis: tales from the thousand lakes
Sentenced: north from here
Opeth: orchid,my arms your hearse,blackwater park
Sacramentum: far away from the sun
Morbid Angel: altars of madness
Edge of Sanity: crimson
 
No. There's always something that could be better about any album. Often times it has to do with there being filler. Most albums could stand to lose a song or a few minutes, especially death metal albums. Anything above 45, or even 40 minutes that was good would have probably been even better if a bit had been trimmed down.

Deathspell Omega - SMRC is a great album, but i don't think anyone would have felt like they were missing something if they had cut it down by as much as 15 minutes. That and the singer never shuts up. I can't think of any other albums that have too many lyrics. Let us hear the guitars once in a while.

Obviously albums that rely on atmosphere are going to need to be lenghthier and more repetitive.
