I suppose a perfect album means one that you naturally feel the urge to listen to from start to finish and not skip any tracks, treating it as one solid piece of music. Maybe not even the best music but for what the album was meant to accomplish it pretty much nails it.

Marilyn Manson - Holy Wood
Marilyn Manson - Antichrist Superstar
Marilyn Manson - Mechanical Animals
Marilyn Manson - High End Of Low
Korn - Korn
Garbage - Version 2.0
John Lennon - Plastic Ono Band
John Lennon - Walls And Bridges
Slipknot - Vol 3: The Subliminal Verses
Rob Zombie - Hellbilly Deluxe
Beatles - Revolver
Beatles - Abbey Road
Rammstein - Mutter
Rammstein - Liebe ist fur alle da
Pink - Funhouse
George Harrison - All Things Must Pass

Off the top of my head, mine include.

Judas Priest - British Steel (not a duff track and a bona fide classic).

Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast (ditto).

Diamond Head - Borrowed Time (brilliant musicianship and songwriting).

Tesla - Mechanical Resonance.

And finally, an album that was never officially released

The Cult - Peace.

I have it in a box set. If you hear this, you'll never listen to Electric again.

Good call on British Steel - absolute classic.
