Maiden had an almost unbeatable run of albums in the 80s, with classic albums like 'The Number of the Beast', 'Piece of Mind' and 'Killers', but 'Somewhere in Time' is the one I always keep coming back to. It was the first of two albums where the band experimented with synth guitars, which added a slightly altered guitar sound to the tried and tested Maiden formula. Bruce Dickinson originally wanted to record the album as an acoustic Jethro Tull-like album, but Steve Harris (and presumably the other band members) refused, which is why Dickinson still dislikes the album. There are some killer tracks on the album, like fan favourite 'Wasted Years' and the criminally underrated and overlooked gem 'Deja Vu'.

Yes,yes, yes! Hats off to you sir. I came in for this. I adore Maiden, but very few of their albums I feel are considered perfect. NotB is very close, as is Powerslave. Most of them sadly have a one or two duds on them. SiT is probably the most consistent, which is why it would be my pick. Powerslave is real, real close though, and may be better, bcause of how it nails the feel so well but this is my preference. This album gets so little love, and it's a crime. Some really beautiful solos on this. Also my fav album art of all time.

Perfection from beginning to end.

Greatest hip hop record of all time.

[Deified Data]

It's Adore. It's perfect.

Oceania. Love or hate this album (I love it), there is no filler. It's perfect in its singular vision.

[Seraphis Cain]

So glad to see someone discovering Lydia thanks to my post. Such a wonderful album, maybe my favorite of all time.

I always want to say Thriller but I really hate the girl is mine. Michael Jackson has pretty much never made a bad song but that's as close as it gets. It's not necessarily Paul McCartney either because I like say say say. There's just something about it I always skip it.

Yeah he should've traded songs with Brandy & Monica.

Oh and this:

would be perfect if not for Swing on This

Are you nuts? Jerry kills it on Swing on This. Dat solo.

Definitely my favourite as well, with Powerslave a close second.

I never skip tracks on albums I regularly listen to, but most of them have tracks that I kind of zone out on. The only album that comes to mind immediately where I love each and every track is:

Oh and this:

Absolutely!

Going to go with recent ones to change it up. No, they're not perfect. I don't believe an album can be perfect.

The funky/ jazzy nature of the song doesn't fit with the sombre tone of the rest of the album. On its own merits it's a good song, it just feels out of place.

Cool thread! Here are the albums I consider 'perfect'.

Radiohead - Kid A
Radiohead - In Rainbows
Arcade Fire - Funeral
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
David Bowie - Low
Brian Eno - Another Green World
Massive Attack - Mezzanine
Boards of Canada - Music Has the Right to Children

What fortuitous timing, I just discovered the best album of all time and space earlier today. It's simply slammin'!
