I can think of countless albums that are just so solid the whole way through.
Here's a short list off the top of my head.
A Silver Mt. Zion- Horses IN The Sky (and most everything else they've released)
godspeed you! black emperor- everything (literally)
Do Make Say Think- everything
Neutral Milk Hotel- In The Aeroplane Over The Sea
Pavement- Slanted & Enchanted
Varge!- Must Lunge
The Ladies- They Mean Us
Against Me!- As the Eternal Cowboy
ATDI- Relationship Of Command
Arcade Fire- Funeral, the EP, Neon Bible... (everything...)
The Blood Brothers- everything up to now
Broken Social Scene- You Forgot It In People, self-titled
Daughters- Hell Songs
Cursive- The Ugly Organ, Happy Hollow
The Flying Luttenbachers- most everything
My Bloody Valentine- both albums
Joy Division- " "
Nick Drake- Pink Moon
Tom Waits- Swordfishtrombones
annnnd Sonic Youth, of course- most everything
[mind, I can think of a billion more, but I feel I've made my point]
..."short list".... HAH!
I completely disagree with this post.

A great album is a mighty feat, therefore declaring an album "great" is perhaps more worthy when thinking of the difficulty of the task. What's an album with a great song here or there with the rest stinkers? Wouldn't it be better to have a whole album of solid songs rather than have an album with a few great songs among a bunch of rotten ones?

I don't know.

i can think of alot of albums that are great all the way thru.
i find it much more satisfying.
it sadens me a bit sometimes when theres a great song and nothing else by the same artist even near as good. i end up playing the song to death and not liking it as much after the 53399340000th time,
which can come around in a matter of days going by the way im getting hooked on individual songs these days.
(see my threads begging for recommendations)

I haven't heard a perfect album yet. I don't think I have. I'll let you know when I do.

A great album is like a great cheese. It should age well but become like stinky feet and you may have to take a knife to the mold.
