There's quite a few perfect albums that I have to listen to the whole thing in order because the songs just flow into one another. Then there's those perfect albums where every song on there is great, but it listening to it on shuffle doesn't take anything away from it
As far as those straight in order albums, my top 10
Queen - Queen II (this is probably one of my all time favorite albums, although really any of the first five albums up to Day at the Races are on this list)
The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique
T. Rex - Electric Warrior
Yes - Close to the Edge
Pop Will Eat Itself - This is The Day...This is the Hour
Alice Cooper - Killer
Frank Zappa - Apostrophe (although a close second would have to be live at the Roxy and Elsewhere)
Jane's Addiction - Nothing Shocking
I love Tool's Lateralus and 10,000 days, but they tend to have some serious long nothing going on type of filler on those albums at times
Those albums where track list isn't necessarily important, but any song is great (to me at least)
Dio - Holy Diver
Led Zeppelin - III
Fishbone - Truth and Soul
Motley Crue - Too Fast For Love
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Fever To Tell
It's funny. Most of the bands I like from the late 90's on don't seem to have those "perfect" albums. I wonder if this is a symptom of the internet age of music where bands just think in terms of a bunch of singles or smaller EPs rather than approach things from an album point of view. The "album" seems to be a dying art form and bands seem to steer away from thinking about how tracks might flow into each other
