an undeniably perfect album

name me a perfect album- that means consistently stellar the whole way through, from first track to hidden track. it's not easy.
i say sparklehorse- it's a wonderful life
or pearl by janis

Weezer - Blue Album
Buck 65 - Square

Clash-London Calling

Heatmiser - Mic City Sons

the so-called hidden track is one of the best on the album.

and of course, The Soft Bulletin.
