Albums where every song is good.

Damnation by Opeth
Watershed by Opeth

Opeth has four albums that fit the criteria but my favorite Opeth album isn't one of them.

But....Weakness and Hex Omega!

Just curious, what is your favorite Opeth album if not one of those four?

 

[The Flash]

I think both are decent tracks.

My favorite Opeth album is Blackwater Park. Patterns in the Ivy keeps it from qualifying.

Despite it's brevity, I'd argue that Patterns in the Ivy is a better song (mostly for it's placement on the album) than either of the two I mentioned.

 

[The Flash]

I like Hex Omega's mid-section a lot and that part culminates in a killer ending riff. I like Weakness' feel a lot, especially the melody after the first verse. Patterns has nothing that sticks with me, just a run-of-the-mill acoustic interlude.

I'll score based on my own view of things - not only albums with all good songs, but albums with very good+ songs.

Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time, A Matter Of Life And Death
Bruce Dickinson - The Chemical Wedding
Megadeth - Peace Sells, Rust In Peace
Metallica - ...And Justice For All
Pantera - Cowboys From Hell, Reinventing The Steel
Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene

If we count progressive albums (where you can't judge a song to be 'good' per se, if it's only an intro or a bridge)

Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals
Dream Theater - Images And Words

and possibly Symphony X - New Mythology Suite

Megadeth - Peace Sells, Rust In Peace

+1

 

[Forostar]

I seriously don't understand the hatred for the song. I'm not saying it's unjustified but it's a great song to kick off the album, coupled with an insane solo at the three minute mark.

+1

 

[Brigantium]

Chemical Wedding and Animals immediately spring to mind. I very much like every song on Be'Lakor's Of Breath and Bone too, although they're all much of a muchness. You could probably run them all together as one long song.

 

[RTC]

Tempted to throw Carolus Rex into the mix, I don't remember there being any bad songs there.

I agree, except for the very last song, which is totally bland and forgetable and should never have closed the album.

 

[Saapanael]

Carolus Rex is quite consistently good but tends to get boring after a while, IMO.

 

[Black Bart]

Simply my favourite album in the 90s (and there is competition enough):
