PERFECT Albums

There are a few albums released by various talented artists, which i beleive to be *PERFECT*.

The entire album, every single song, and even the way the album is set up is competely without flaw. I can only think a few.

Weezer - Pinkerton
NIN - The Fragile
Blackstar - Mos Def & Talib Kweli are Blackstar
The Burning Paris - Coral City Ruin

Hon. Mentions:

Beck - Odelay
Prince Paul - A Prince Among Theieves
Weezer - Blue Album (WOULD be perfect, but i hate Surf Wax America too much...)

what about you?

2 albums for me

Liquid Tension Experiment - Volume 1
Dream Theater - Images and Words

I consider myself a pretty tough critic too frown

what kind of music are both of those?

NIN: Downward Spiral
Snoop Dogg: Doggy Style
The Chronic
Beck: Odelay
Stone Temple Pilots: Core

Liquid Tension Experiment is.. well.. I really don't know what to classify it as. It has some rock, but then some light piano, topical music.. I've really heard nothing like them. It's all instrumental, something you would think to hear out of a video game.

A few songs you can check out are "Osmosis", "State of Grace", "Kindred Spirits". All off of Volume 1. It really shows their diversity. Lots of songs change so much within the same song too, which I think is really great.

Dream Theater is a progressive rock band. Liquid Tension Experiment is actually a side project of DT, but really doesn't sound anything like them at all, especially as DT has a vocalist.

Only two I know of...

The Prodigy- Music For The Jilted Generation.
Still the hardest beats you've heard in your life. From the paranoid intro to the Narcotic Suite at the end, this is still an album that defies description. Not quite rock, not quite electronic, but 100% fucking hardcore.

Jawbreaker- 24 Hour Revenge Therapy
The best, purest example of Jawbreaker at their gravelly best. Blake blazes a trail through some of his best lyric writing, before the big studio money and throat surgery that made the DGC-produced 'Dear You' just a bit too clean for Jawbreaker worshippers. Doesn't get much better than 'Ashtray Monument'.

These are called 'perfect' to me because not a single track on these albums is fast-forward material. U2's War and PE's Nation Of Millions come the closest to this standard but just barely miss the mark thanks to a couple of filler tracks.

Some of the ones I might have picked have been already chosen such NIN - The Downward Spiral and The Prodigy - Music for the Jilted Generation, I can think of a couple others I truly consider masterpieces.

Rush - Moving Pictures
7 tracks of pure bliss. From the timeless classic that Tom Sawyer is to the "Makes you want to hit the road and just drive" nature of Red Barchetta, through YYZ, Limelight and several others till the end, this Album is the highlight of Rushs discography. 100% classic.

NIN - broken
Due to the angrier nature of this album compared to Pretty Hate Machine, this album turned a lot of the fans of the first album off. But once you dig into this album and listen to it, analysis it, and just absorb it, you will then truly see the masterpiece that Trent Reznor created. This also set the grounds for Trent to move away from the heavy usage of Synths that were in Pretty Hate Machine to mix with guitars and eventually organic sounds. Lots of deep layered materials on this album (but not nearly as much as The Downward Spiral) that make for an enjoyalble listening experience.

Eric Clapton - Unplugged
Owning both the CD and the DVD for this performance, I can say without a doubt it is in incredible work from Eric Clapton. I have literally listened to this album on repeat for hours at a time and enjoyed every track, over and over again. Highly recommended.

Sting - The Very Best of....Sting and The Police
Fans of Sting and/or The Police will find tons of great music on this compilation CD. Make sure to get the reissued one from 2002 as it has, I believe 18 tracks, and they dropped that ignorant ass Puff Daddy remix of Roxanne. Although this album is missing a couple of really great tracks from Sting and The Police, what is on it is terrific.

Pearl Jam - Ten
Although this was mentioned before, I really fill this was easily one of the best albums of the entire "Grunge rock" phase that hit in the early 90's. This was another album that was easy to listen to over and over and never really tire of it. It was also the last album of theirs that I personally really liked, although I enjoyed a couple tracks from Vs.


These are some of the albums that, in my mind, are damn near perfect.

Unearth - The Stings of Conscience
From Autumn to Ashes - Too Bad You're Beautiful
Appleseed Cast - Low Level Owl Vol. 1
Hopesfall - No Wings to Speak Of

All perfect.

the beatles-white album, this album has the perfect mix of soft melodic tunes, lovesongs, strung out drug induced shit, and what i see as the first metal song ever "helter-skelter" anyways i think it is the most perfect album ever made simply because it changed the minds of so many during the 60's and it still does today it is the definative beatles album, and for such a worldclass band, that's saying quite a bit.
