Well, for the purpose of the argument, I distinguish between "perfect" and "albums I really like." Many of my favorites are flawed. Something like the following is "perfect", but there are many others I like more:

I can find nothing wrong with that album.
I, therefore dub it (and second the motion to deem it) Perfect.

to me a "perfect" album has to have no weak tracks and over-arching themes don't hurt.

Although I suppose "perfect" doesn't exist, this is my standard.


art can't be perfect, but I'd say any album where I never want to skip a track is a perfect one.

Now that we're in the hilarious portion of the thread, I'll say "Pyromania" or anything Mutt Lange touched during that period.

I would say Neil Young has about seven albums that are pretty much flawless.
