I was thinking about this today while listening to AC/DC's Back in Black. It's not my #1 album of all time, but God damn, there's not a single track on there that comes close to being weak. I don't even know how I'd rank them. It's just 10 straight bangers. Gun to my head I'd probably say that Givin' the Dog a Bone and What Do You Do For Money are marginally weaker than the other eight, but still so good that I feel bad saying it.

Pink Floyd - The Wall
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (only 5 songs though so it feels like cheating)
Green Day - American Idiot

Pink Floyd - The Wall
My favorite Floyd album and probably a top 5 album for me, but honestly some of those snippet songs and reprises are just whatever to me. Your other two are solid choices though.

The Dear Hunter - Act IV: Rebirth in Reprise
The Dear Hunter - Act V: Hymns with the Devil in Confessional
Caligula's Horse - In Contact

There's a few more that come extremely close but have just one song that I have slightly more mixed feelings on than outright adoration for, so I'll err on the side of exclusion. Those three are no-doubters, though.

Caligula's Horse - In Contact

This was actually one of my first thoughts (mostly because I even really enjoy the spoken word poem.)

If I had to pick one, it'd probably be Protest the Hero - Kezia, though.

It's funny, even with The Beatles being my favorite band, and even with Rubber Soul being my #1 album of all time, I honestly don't know if I could put any of their albums on here. I think each album, yes, even beloved Sgt. Pepper, has at least one track that I just "like" instead of "love."

there's many albums like that for me but i'll just name what probably IS my #1 album of all time: ryksopp's melody a.m.

not only are all of the songs great, the track order seems to be very deliberate. it's almost like a concept album in how well it flows from one track to the next.

I mean I feel like a well-executed running order is vital to any high-tier album.

I can definitely see that, but I think relistening to it again as part of the album of the week group and trying to rank them just made me realized how even the shortest, most forgettable snippets on that album are still great

it's also just my favorite album overall

I'm a complete dweeb who isn't much into rock these days, so I'm going to dweebishly - dare I say weebishly - post these:

Yasunori Mitsuda - Xenogears OST
Masayashi Soken - FFXIV: Stormblood OST Vol. 1
Hiroyuki Sawano and Yumiko Inoue - Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn OST

OK, fine, here's one more in line with the presumed spirit of the topic:

Carly Rae Jepsen - Emotion

You guys posting RHCP don't have to be afraid of saying Stadium Arcadium either. Actually, I think Stadium Arcadium might be the correct answer to a more interesting question: what's the longest album that's all killer no filler?

Personally, I could throw away Hump de Bump, but plenty of people love it and it's a tribute to their older style that belongs on the record. Other than, 27 bangers, which is ridiculous.

If, Animal Bar and C'mon Girl stop it from being mentioned by me. Other than that you're spot on.
