    Björk - Vespertine. The closest any album has ever come to being perfect for me. And even that isn’t quite the whole way to perfect.

    Van Halen's debut. Tied only with maybe Appetite For Destruction, Are You Experienced? and Back In Black as the best, straight-up rock album ever. Not a filler song on there.

    For me it's definitely With Teeth. Not a single track I skip or would ever skip.

    Apart from that, Rammstein - Mutter is also one of those records where I don't skip a track. And so is Queens of the Stone Age - songs for the deaf.

    A more recent obsession of mine of a near perfect album: Jaye Jayle - no trail and other unholy paths

    Take the vinyl track list (home) and replace The Hand That Feeds with Non Entity and I can get on board with that.

    Although, if we are talking Nine Inch Nails, even though not my favorite, I would go with The Downward Spiral over With Teeth personally.

    - The Downward Spiral
    - Wish You Were Here
    - Aenima (yes, it’s got filler tracks but I don’t care. All the songs are good and no need to skip those. Best Tool album from start to finish IMHO)
    - Powerslave by Iron Maiden
    - I can listen to WASP’s first album (self titled) from start to finish. Not the greatest album ever, but can’t say that about a whole lot of others.
    - Weezer’s blue album

    Im sure there’s at least a few more, that’s just of the top of my head.

    Looking through my music collection, it's surprising just how few albums I consider 'perfect' - pretty much all of my all time favourite albums have at least one track that I'd skip. If I had to choose though, it would be:

    Four Tet - Pink (Runner Up - There Is Love In You) - for me both near flawless records that I can listen to from start to finish and get deeply lost in.
    Nathan Fake - Drowning In A Sea Of Love - another pretty much flawless electronica trip that I lose myself in.
    Rammstein - Reise, Reise - Mutter a close second, but this is the one I absolutely adore front to back and never skip.
    The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses - another one that just has to be listened to in full, every time.
    My Bloody Valentine - M B V - Probably committing MBV fan sacrilege by loving this more than Loveless, but this record to me really is a wonderful body of work in itself, it's structure is genius and just works from beginning to end.

    Oophoi- The Spirals of Time
    Final- Solaris

    to me, these albums are the definition of timeless...literally. the sound of the birth of humankind 70 million years ago, to the future, somewhere, distantly in an isolated space station.

    If someone wants to tell me the Rollins Band song ruins this soundtrack from consideration, I get that argument. I would fire back that Pantera's cover of The Badge supercedes any & all criticism of the perfection of this soundtrack however, as I will one day mosh through the foundation of my house b/c of how hard that song is.




    (I will defend this record with the force of a 1000 suns)

    original production withstanding









    I debated putting Brand New- The Devil & God... on here, but there are a few things I would change about some of the songs so it's not quite perfect.
