Can`t look up all the thread, but I can`t think anything more flawless than ABBA Arrival

 

[jackmccabe]

Napalm Death - Noise For Music's Sake
Burial - Untrue
Miles Davis - Bitches Brew, 'Round About Midnight
Portishead - Dummy
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Cave In - Until My Heart Stops
 
But to be honest I will only listen to an album repeatedly if I believe it to be pretty much flawless musically.
and it would take far too long to write out all of the albums I listen to, so I just put a few I have been listening to recently.

This is a good read thread, better bookmark it.
 
In my opinion there's a flaw in flawless records. When every song after another is so brilliant, the album gets dull. For me an album to be good it has to have that worse song or an intermezzo of sorts. For example the aforementioned OK Computer and DSotM have what makes them dynamic.
 
Anyway, here's my two cents:
 
Björk - Homogenic
Tool - Lateralus (nice to see this one mentioned so much instead of the other ones)
Pink Floyd - Animals
Portishead - Third (this one is alive)
Massive Attack - Heligoland

Yes, as the ebb is to the flow.  Imo there are too many albums like that to name.

The Carpenters - Singles 1969-1973 -  no heavy mixing here...vocals shine and nothing overpowers anything else
 

 
 
Steve Reid - Mysteries -  a fun blend of vocals, percussion, and environmental sounds

Donald Fagen - The Nightfly
