Think the three most perfectest albums I know (doesn't HAVE to be metal, right?) are:
   Oh, and for clarification on the middle album, that's Spiderland by Slint.

The only four albums I would consider perfect are The Voice of Steel by Nokturnal Mortum, Hemispheres by Rush, Brave New World by Iron Maiden and Morningrise by Opeth. There about a half a dozen other albums that come pretty darn close, but not close enough for me to consider them absolutely perfect in every single sense of the term.

I have found many flaws on this album. Hardly Pain of Salvation's best. As for me, I may have to think hard on this one. Even though there are albums that really mare masterful and amazing, I can always see some kind of flaw or it demands some kind of mindset for me on thoroughly enjoy it. I'll edit this post with my answer. Some that do get very close (alphabetically; only metal albums/artists): Ansur - Warring Factions Arch/Matheos - Sympathetic Resonance Ars Nova - 7th Hell Ayreon - Electric Castle, Human Equation, Y Blind Guardian - Nightfall, Night at the Opera Death - Human, Symbolic, Sound of Perseverance Deep Purple - In Rock DT - I&W, Awake, Scenes from a Memory, Six Degrees, Black Clouds Disperse - Journey Through The Hidden Gardens Dynahead - Antigen Dark Angel - Time Does not Heal Enslaved - Vertebrae Fedrik Thordendal Special Defects - s/t Fleshgod Apocalypse - Agony Freakeys - s/t Gru - Cosmogenesis Immortal - At the Heart of Winter Maiden - Number of the Beast John Arch - A Twist Of Fate King Crimson - In the Court, Red Leprous - Bilateral Machine Head - Blackening (it's the only album by this band I actually enjoy, though) Matr�z - Gritar�
Maudlin of the Well - Bath/Leaving your Body Map Mekong Delta - Dances of Death, Vision Fugitives, Wanderer Metallica - Ride, Master, Justice Mindflow - Just the Two of Us, Mind over Body Myrath - Hope Nevermore - Godless Endeavor Opeth - My Arms, Still Life, Blackwater Park, Ghost Reveries, Watershed Orphaned Land - Mabool (it's the only album by this band I actually enjoy, though) Pain of Salvation - Entropia, One Hour, Remedy Lane Pantera - Cowboys Parallaxe - Soundtrack Pestilence - Spheres Porcupine Tree - Deadwing, Fear Queensr�che - Mindcrime 1 Rainbow - Rising Riverside - Second Life Syndrome, ADHD Rush - FArewell to Kings Sepultura - Schizophrenia, Beneath the Remains, Arise Shadow Gallery - Tyranny, Room V Shaman - Ritual Symphony X - V Taal - Skymind Unmoored - Indefinite Soul-Extension Unexpect - Fables Of The Sleepless Empire Voivod - Nothingface That's it, I think.

I'm surprised not to see Lateralus, which I consider to be the single greatest rock/metal album of all time:
 Also: Bath by maudlin of the Well Choirs of the Eye by Kayo Dot Close to the Edge by Yes Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven by Godspeed You! Black Emperor Sleeping in Traffic Pt 2 by Beardfish Fables of the Sleepless Empire by Unexpect Pawn Hearts by Van Der Graaf Generator I by Meshuggah Agaetis Byrjun by Sigur Ros Of Natural History by Sleepytime Gorilla Museum Hubardo by Kayo Dot Edited by Earendil - 30 Jan 2014 at 7:20pm |

I thought of another one:
 14 songs on that, and each one could've been a huge hit if this album had come out in 1985 instead of 2005. How many classic albums do you know of that you can hear every song from the album on the radio? Boston - Boston, AC/DC - Back In Black, Michael Jackson - Thriller, Def Leppard - Hysteria to name a few. Gotthard - Lipservice is that good, too bad it was released by a relatively unknown band from Switzerland.

Agalloch - The Mantle
Megadeth - Rust in Peace
Atheist - Elements
Nevermore - This Godless Endeavor
Symphony X - The Odyssey
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Slayer - Reign in Blood (NOT one of my top albums personally, but it doesn't waste a moment)
Isis - In the Absence of Truth, Panopticon (I need to update my review, with even more time passing it has reached perfection status to me)
Non metal:
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
King Crimson - Red
Boston - Boston
Lateralus is of course brilliant, but considering the album has filler...that alone means it can't reach the "6 star" level in my book.

Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Testament. The real Big Four of thrash metal!
Listen to doom metal, worship Satan |

                   I took the liberty of putting an album of symphonic prog rock (Ashes Are Burning - Renaissance). |
