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?
Queen - A kind of Magic
Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill
Jagged Little Pill is the first album that comes to mind for this question, but if I’m honest I’d skip the track “Perfect”.
Deloused in the comatorium
Perfect albums that come to mind : Pink Floyd - Animals Depeche Mode - Violator Fleetwood Mac - Rumours Dire Straits - Dire Straits Curtis Mayfield - Superfly Daft Punk - Discovery Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Sseventh Son Death - Symbolic Rush - Moving Pictures
You fucked up the markdown. You need to put two newlines between or a bullet point before each line.
Or two spaces after a line.
Like this. It renders tighter.
Wallflowers - Bringing Down the Horse
Paul Simon - Graceland is utterly unique and every track is a masterpiece
The same can be said for Pink Floyd - The Wall
I was wondering the same thing and then I found Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon.
So the answer is yes, my perfect album exists.
And then I found Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here, and I realized two perfect albums exist for me, so far
In Extremo - Raue Spree (live)
- Dave Brubeck - Time Out
- Miles Davis - Birth of the cool, Kind of blue
I don’t think anyone’s going to disagree with this
Didn’t find one yet.
For me, in a perfect album would be songs which only have the same kind of feeling. You know, you won’t switch from a sad song to the biggest banger. And the songs would be alphabetically sorted so that when you put them into directory, you don’t have to keep deciding whether to have them sorted alphabetically or by track no., because they would be in the same order. But that’s just my weird problem. Would be cool if it was same in chronological order.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.
Beastie boys - Paul’s Boutique Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow Against Me! - Reinventing Axle Rose Justice - Justice The Rapture - Pieces of the people we love
Surprised nobody mentioned Rumors by Fleetwood Mac.
Giving it a listen! Thanks for the recommendation.
It’s only gets mentioned every time someone asks this question.
Looks like I’ve become ‘that guy’
lol
This album is one of the greatest album OAT in my book, like top 5. A perfect album with no dulls, one of the best exemples of what a 10/10 is.
It’s a great album but there is one song on it that is pretty mid, Oh Daddy. I don’t think it can be called the perfect album
I disagree. I know that one’s not as typical/upbeat as much of their other stuff, but I think it carries just as much weight and is a powerful song that helps complete the album.
Eve 6 's debut album.
Jesus Nightlight is the only speedbump, but that’s mostly due to placement. If it was the closing track, it would have been a totally different experience.
Disregarding that one song being in an inopportune position, it’s the only perfect album I know of.
I need to learn to listen to albums as a whole, not as a collection of tracks. But that’s just me.
No. Next question.
Next question: Why is LibertyLizard so good at being wrong?
Lots of practice. Next question.
Plenty. There are literally hundreds of albums in my collection that I’d consider “perfect,” the first one I ever realized as one was Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust and the most recent probably being Hellfire by Black Midi. What type of music do you listen to? I can try to give some more relevant suggestions for you based on that.
Bowie also had Man Who Sold the World and Station to Station.
