That’s one of the few 10/10 albums of all time. Every second of it is right. 100%

I have said on here before that I think it’s overrated. That being that the view of it is that it is flawless 10 out of 10 but I think it’s more of an 8.5 out of 10.

I’ll have to disagree!

Off the top of my head, these would be 10 out of 10 albums/EPs:

And Nico
Fun House
Harvest
Surfer Rosa
Seamonsters
Spiderland
Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada
The Good Son
Heartworm
Days in the Wake
Mi Media Naranja

jaysus, some great stuff on that list.
Spiderland is probably my favourite album. Heartworm my favourite Irish (better than Loveless and Isn’t Anything I feel). SRFNZK a good shout (I prefer Lift Your Skinny… but it is flawed as are most double albums). And BIG LOVE for Labradford there at the end mate. Smashing.

:clap:

Suicide’s eponymous album is another actually. So wonderfully original. Scares the shit out of me.

Skimming through the pile in front of me, I’d be picking the following

:Twinzero - The Tomb to Every Hope
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine
The Clash - London Calling
AFI - Black Sails in the Sunset
Alice In Chains - Dirt
Faith No More - Angel Dust
Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
Killing Joke - Killing Joke (x2)
Tool - Lateralus
Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables
Manic Street Preachers - Holy Bible
Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea
Soundgarden - Down on the Upside (a fantastic album. Probably my favourite of theirs, and pretty close to a 10/10 musically and lyrically.)

There are quite a few metal albums that are 10/10, but that’s for another thread

The Kinks - This Time Tomorrow

Have you heard the band Ought from Canada pal? On Constellation I think but more post punk (whack of Television off them). Put out one of my fave albums from last year http://youtu.be/fEQyi6eCxWw

10/10 :thumbsup:

Found the single last night.

If there’s a rock singer out there with a better vocal range and better vocal dynamism than Mike Patton, I have yet to hear them. The man is untouchable and a visionary.
