Absolutely
Also:
Ocean Machine - Biomech
Opeth - Mornigrise (although ever other album is far from perfect)
Immortal - At the Heart of Winter
Alice in Chains - Dirt
Jane's Addiction - Ritual de lo Habitual
These are the albums that usually feature in my answer to the desert island question. You know, if you were stranded on a desert island (with a powerpoint and CD player apparently), which five albums ...
Let's drop this whole 'perfect' and 'free of faults' thing. If you like it enough to give it a 100/100, then its perfect in your opinion. Seriously its just music. Who actually listens to albums in attempt to point out 'faults?' - a few people here, perhaps. Then again, maybe the artist doesn't want his album to be 'perfect' and puts more emphasis on creativity than of anything else. Point being, who gives a shit, nothing is perfect.
When I first heard 'Reign in Blood', I honestly believed that Slayer sold their souls to Satan to make the perfect metal album.
There are a couple more that come to mind though they would be considered sub-categories: 'Legacy of Brutality' or 'Plastic Surgery Disasters' for punk, 'Psalm 69' for industrial metal, etc. etc.
...actually, I'd be hard-pressed to a decision between 'Psalm 69' and 'The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste'...

Not true, Jyoto (sp) drew a perfect circle...Dodens Grav said:
Actually, since the author of the thread put quotation marks around the word 'perfect', that denotes interpretation, intended meaning or irony.

Hail to the King baby
In Flames - Subterranean
Any Gojira album
Hypocrisy - Abducted
Kvist - For kunsten maa vi evig vike
Sorhin - Apokalypsens Ängel
Abigor - Nachthymnen
May not be "perfect" but those are albums where I enjoy every single song, which is hard to find nowadays.

Not necessarily. Some perfect albums IMO:
Satyricon - Nemesis Divina
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies
None of those are even in my top 5 favorite albums. It may not make any sense, but bear with me here - a perfect album has these qualities:
1. Killer production
2. Seamless flow from track to track
3. Outstanding musicianship
4. Great lyrics
5. Great songwriting
One's all time favorite albums need have only 1 quality: the songs that you love, for tangible or intangible reasons, more than any others.

I think only one exists...
In the woods - omnio. For me it's the only album where every note is where it is supposed to be, and no parts are there which shouldn't be.

I understand what you are saying but I disagree with the whole logic of a 'perfect' album via a criteria such as that - I can think of many albums that match that particular criteria but I would never regard them as 'perfect'.

Probably the two closest to perfect albums I can think of right now are
Necrophagia-season of the dead
VOIVOD-killing technology

Rather than calling them perfect, my favorite, most well-crafted albums are:
Death - The Sound Of Perseverance
Dies Irae - Sculpture Of Stone
Origin - Echoes Of Decimation
Atheist - Unquestionable Presence
Necrophagist - Onset of Putrefaction
Spawn Of Possession - Cabinet
Windir - 1184
...as far as metal goes at least.
