It's really uncommon to find an album where you like every single song on it, and have for years. Name them.
The only one I can think of is Transatlanticism by Death Cab. I'd possibly add Deja Entendu by Brand New.
It's odd, since there are artists with songs I like more than Brand New, but that album is so consistently fantastic, to me at least.
Tonight - Franz Ferdinand
Seizures - Kisschasy
Both of them must be listened to in order though. Individually, some of the songs lose their touch.
EDIT: Neither of them are old though. Does that detract somewhat? :(
Rival Schools - United By Fate
AFI - December Underground
Seether - Disclaimer II
They're the ones that spring to mind at the moment anyway!
Namco Game Sound Express Vol.2
and radiohead - kid a
You are so right, Rye. Even your favorite artist might have some crappy songs on an album.
*checks iTunes*
Ah, here we go.
Rhythm Nation 1814 - Janet Jackson
Hard Candy - Madonna
Tomorrow Starts Today - Mobile
The Beatles - Abbey Road, Sgt Pepper, Let it Be, Revolver, Rubber Soul, AND the White Album. All completely amazing all the way through.
The Grateful Dead - American Beauty
Big Brother and the Holding Company - Self titled
Daft Punk - Discovery
I could go on and on... I feel a lot of older artists put more work into their albums, and there was less of a drive to mass produce garbage (though it definitely still existed. Eat my butt, Monkees). Also, back before cassette tapes, CDs, and mp3s, one had to actually get up and hustle over to the record player to lift the needle and change the song... too much work, so they gave us great music xD
It's hard to say. As time goes on and I listen to them over and over, I forget that I used to not like some songs.
I guess I'd just have to say any album I've heard all the way through/owned
Two lists, this one is albums I think I liked all the way through the first time
(SPOILER)
Indochine - Alice et June
Radiohead - The Bends
Muse - Black Holes and Revelations (actually every song on this is rated 4 stars or higher in itunes xD)
The Black Mages - THE BLACK MAGES
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Kansas - Point of Know Return
HIM - Razorblade Romance
Pink Floyd - Saucerful of Secrets
AFI - Sing the Sorrow
Alan Parson's Project - Tales of Mystery and Imagination
Coldplay - Viva La Vida, or Death and All His Friends
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Second list is albums I've listened to so many times I love them all in honor of nostalgia
(SPOILER)
Aqua - Aquarium
Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell
Red Hot Chili Peppers - By the Way
Golden Earring - The Continuing Story of Radar Love
Eiffel 65 - Europop
Bat For Lashes - Fur and Gold
Radiohead - Hail to the Thief
Weezer - Make Believe
Radiohead - OK Computer
Jewel - Pieces of You
Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn
Coldplay - Rush of Blood to the Head
The Killers - Sam's Town
The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Maroon 5 - Songs About Jane
System of a Down - System of a Down
System of a Down - Toxicity
Jupiter Sunrise - Under a Killer Blue Sky
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Coldplay - X&Y
Elliott Smith - XO
that's not to say I didn't like the majority of the second list when I first listened, it's just that now I like all of the songs on those albums now :)
Boom Boom Satellites:
7 Ignitions
Fogbound
Full of Elevating Pleasures
Out Loud
Umbra
Photon
There's one song in Exposed and two in On that were kinda meh. Not bad, they just don't do anything for me. So I can almost just say every album ever.
And I think there was like one Incubus song that I wasn't totally in love with, but other than that I like all of their albums.
It'd take me ages to make a comprehensive list, but the first one that sprang to mind is Blood on the Tracks by Bob Dylan.

Gym Class Heroes - The Papercut Chronicles
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV
Ensiferum - Ensiferum
Immortal Technique - Revolutionary Vol. 1

I love After the Gold Rush, maybe it belongs on the second list
Bleed American - Jimmy Eat World
Watermark - Enya
Siamese Dream - Smashing Pumpkins
John Frusciante - "The Empyrean"
Good spiritual album...
atmosphere - sevens travels
i loathe rap for reals but thi album is great from start to finish i have played it 12345 times (lies) try it out NOW:mad2:
I "acquired" Coheed and Cambria - In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 last night and yeah, gonna agree with NCG. WONDERFUL album.

Converge - When Forever Comes Crashing
Converge - Jane Doe
Every Time I Die - Hot Damn!

Neon Bible and Funeral by the Arcade Fire are pretty much the only albums on which I like every single song. Pink Floyd - the Dark Side of the Moon comes close, but I don't like On the Run, so it's a no go for this topic.

I could list some video game soundtracks as well as anime OST as well but I'll just stick to non-soundtracks cause its incredibly rare for me to love a album
is that yoko kannos songs to fly
i love some of those songs but near the end it wavers off imho
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...econ_cover.jpg
How could anyone resist this album ?
oh oh and john butler trio - self titled
Incubus - Make Yourself
Anything by Tool or A Perfect Circle (although these usually have some weird noise tracks :S)
I'm a total whore for Yoko Kanno and I ended up really loving the album after awhile. I didn't like the whole thing at first but a couple of listens through and some changing musical taste made me love the whole album. :cool:Quote:

Had it not been for 'All Alone' I'd agree with you on Demon Days. :p

Just off the top of my head:
Abe Vigoda - Skeleton

I've not liked it for years, but I thoroughly enjoy both of the Cobra Starship albums from start to finish. :D
That's easily one of my favorite tracks on the album.Quote:

Also, yes. There are many albums out there where I like all the songs.
Have to admit there are a fair few albums out there of which I've liked all songs, but with albums such as Jagged Little Pill, I've liked them all to the point that I think "Wow, that's a pretty damned good song!" None of the whole "This is alright" stuff. Basically, in primary school terms, I like-like them. :)
i wouldn't call it win but still very good.Quote:

The third album is Hot Mess (2009). Assuming that your friend liked the first two, the third should be no exception.Quote:

Amanda Palmer + Dresden Dolls are overrated imho .
Well that's your opinion and to be honest I didn't get into them because of other people, I found them myself. I only know 2 or 3 other people now who also like them, and it's their philosophies and style as much as the music that I love.Quote:

There are probably more but whatever.
The only three I can honestly say is Thug Life: Vol. 1 by Thug Life, L'Amour Toujours Vol. 2 by Gigi D'Agostino, & Strictly for my N.I.G.G.A.Z from 2Pac.
Daft Punk - Discovery is such an amazing album. Seriously.
Gregory and the Hawk - Moenie and Kitchi
Arrah and the Ferns - Evan is a Vegan
Helios - Caesura
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Its Blitz!, actually their discography and pretty much EVERYTHING karen o does is amazing
Damien Rice - O
The Decemberists - Picaresque
theres probably a lot more but srsly.
