"Perfect" albums

Wish You Were Here is faultless; stronger than DSOTM IMO.
Hatful of Hollow is also a peerless collection of outstanding tracks.

I also rate Jon Martyn's Solid Air and Alice Cooper's Welcome to my Nightmare.

Would love to agree, bit it's always annoyed me that it's so badly mastered, the quality could have been so much better. If only the recording matched the quality of the tunes.

I agree, the tracks are utterly amazing yet the production is shocking, I used to think it was because it was quite an old album but I have other albums from the same year and earlier that still sound much better

Shame really :/

There are so many excellent albums by bands like, Bloc party, the editors and many, many more, etc I feel sad about having to leaving out simply for the fact that there are at least two weak tracks on. One or two weak tracks are how I defined perfect or almost perfect when thinking about it.
