Albums that you consider "perfect"...

[stagebanter]

I'm glad that it only took a few posts to get to Aja. IMO, Aja is one of - if not THE - most perfect albums of all time. My friends who are engineers tell me that they all know this album like the back of their hand. Our sound guy uses it to set up the PA at shows before we soundcheck.

Dark Side of the Moon is a perfect album too. I also think that Radiohead made the perfect album with "OK Computer" and "In Rainbows" when you combine them. The new Airiel EP "Kid Games" would be perfect if it weren't so darn short.

I know it's a cliche but I think "Kind of Blue" is a perfect album, and also Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers "Moanin".

Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile.

This album to me is just perfect. The way the songs roll over into each other, the story that's being tild (even with the childish rant near the end.) The continuous blend of genres. Also the fact that I've been listening to it for over ten years and I always hear something new whenever I listen to it. It's an inspirational album.
