Every album I've ever encountered seems to have a mixture of bangers and one or more meh or outright flops. It's easier than ever to skip over the tracks now, but as the question asks: what's is, in your opinion, the perfect album, or does one/can one even exist?

As other have said, it's subjective, but here are some albums I'd consider perfect:

  • R.E.M. - Murmur, Reckoning, Lifes Rich Pageant, Automatic for the Prople
  • Orbital - In Sides
  • Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
  • Leftfield - Leftism
  • Beatles - Abbey Road, Sgt Pepper
  • Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space
  • Underworld - Second Toughest in the Infants
  • Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
  • Massive Attack - Blue Lines
  • John Coltrane - Blue Train
  • Velvet Underground - Velvet Underground and Nico
  • Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited
  • Nas - Illmatic
  • Portishead - Dummy, Portishead
  • Chemical Brothers - Exit Planet Dusr
  • Tricky - Maxinquaye
  • Jim White - The Mysterious Tale of How I Shouted Wrong-Eyed Jeaus

Blue Lines over Mezzanine? I usually mention Mezzanine in threads like this because the fact it was released in 1998 really doesn't come across at all.

Blue Lines over Mezzanine?

Every day of the week - don't get me wrong, Mezzanine is great, but for me Blue Lines is absolute perfection :-)
