the_gloaming09 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Of course ideally there's no such thing as perfect but this is a thread to list what albums you think are perfect. What I consider to help determine if an album is perfect is the overall flow of an album, if there's no weak songs/flaws, and I it's an album that you can always go back to. So with that said what albums do you consider to be perfect? For me there are very few but the ones I consider perfect are: Abbey Road-The Beatles Dark Side of the Moon-Pink Floyd Kid A-Radiohead In Rainbows-Radiohead There's other albums I'm considering, but I have to think about them for a while. They include: Funeral-Arcade Fire Person Pitch-Panda Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivet Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Illinois - Sufjan Stevens Plans - Death Cab For Cutie In Rainbows - Radiohead I'll have to think about this... hmmmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gloaming09 Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 See I would consider In Rainbows and I love it to death... but I feel that Faust Arp might be the one track that feels out of place, and breaks the flow of the album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 hmmm, personally I would include In Rainbows. I really do enjoy Faust Arp. I find All I Need kind of feels like the end of a movement in the album. Faust Arp transports you to a different movement that closes off the album. It's almost like a lullaby before the dream.

the_gloaming09 Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 I could see that I guess now you mention it... like the build up in All I Need is so big that when it's over it's like a rebirth or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnspieler1012 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Joshua Tree is way up there for me. First five songs and last two songs are absolutely perfect (not just talking in terms of quality, but flow especially), the remaining songs are prone to debate, but I think they're really great as well. OK Computer, Kid A, and Agaetis Byrjun are also in my canon of perfect or near perfect 'classic' albums. I could include Turn On The Bright Lights and Funeral, though I could find things to complain about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eff-exx Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I think Explosions in the Sky's The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place can be considered as a "perfect" album. I wouldn't make a list though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Myshkin Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Mezzanine - Massive Attack Odelay - Beck Songs Of Leonard Cohen - Leonard Cohen Strangeways Here We Come - The Smiths Funeral - Arcade Fire The Velvet Underground And Nico - The Velvet Underground Vespertine - Bjork Kid A - Radiohead La Maison De Mon Reve - CocoRosie All perfect for what they are, and would be high up on my list for favourite albums but they are not necessarily my absolute favourite. There are so many albums with one or two songs that make them not 'perfect' but which I still love, but I was looking at them as an album as a whole and how it fits together. The Beatles came close but they always have at least one dodgy song for each album (Revolver was ruined by Yellow Submarine and Rubber Soul by What Goes On). Honourable mentions to Portishead, Antony & The Johnsons, Flaming Lips, Nick Drake, Martin Grech, Neil Young and David Bowie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
