I never got the Fates Warning thing...I tried them but couldn't warm up to them...Perfect Symmetry is ok...they just have a meandering writing style...never seems to get to the point. Maybe I'll try No Exit.

Near perfect-

Burning Bridges - Arch Enemy - a little to short of an album
Vol. 4 - Black Sabbath - FX takes away the "perfect" award

Ozzy - Blizzard Of Ozz / Diary Of A Madman

Van Halen - Fair Warning (With one of the most recognizable riffs of all time)
Nuclear Assault - Game Over
AC/DC - Back In Black
Throwdown - Haymaker
S.O.D. - Speak English Or Die
Judas Priest - Screaming For Vengeance
Slayer - Reign In Blood
Joe Walsh - James Gang Rides Again
The Eagles - Hotel California
Metallica - Kill 'Em All / Master Of Puppets
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Stuck Mojo - Rising

Fates Warning, "Perfect Symmetry!" That's the one I want on my Perfect Album list; love every song on that freakin album, especially the instrumental.

I demote "Parallels" to the Almost Perfect category, to which I ought to add "The Guardian."

"No Exit" remains extremely high on the Perfect list.

Interesting...well, to each his own. I wonder if I'd like No Exit better.
