::sigh:: I remember the days when I didn't have to see Cradle of Filth in 80% of the threads on GMD.

Meh, I thouhgt Principle was good, but not great, and far from perfect.
Dani is in his most primitive vocal stage, production was below average at best, too many interludes, he wasn't as good a writer then.

I have'nt found a perfect one yet, though there are many that come close. Most recently i'd say Primordial's The Gathering Wilderness. Also a few Hypocrisy albums are up there, etc.

In my opinion, what makes an album 'perfect' is its ability to connect with the listener - regardless of whether of not it should be considered 'perfect'. Of the hundreds of cds that I've listened to, there's probably only a few that can do this on the highest of levels.

Actually, perfect means flawless. In the realm of connecting with the listener and everything else, so basically your opinion is wrong.

How could that one dude say Still Life is perfect when it obviously has mastering errors on the disc? That automatically disqualifies it before you even listen. And it's not nearly as good as most of Opeth's albums. I don't like this sentimental attitude about perfection. Have some higher standards. There's no way you should regard more than two or three albums as perfect.
Even albums that are great could be better in some sense. In the Nightside Eclipse comes really close, but tracks two and four I think are certainly weaker than the rest. Panzerfaust also is really close, but it would probably be better if the vocals were 10% softer in the mix.
