5 Star Albums: Every Song

Automatic Slim · 12-12-2009, 11:00 AM

Are there any albums (any genre) on which every song merits 5 stars or whatever your highest designation is?

This is not quite the same question as 'what albums have no filler', because it seems inappropriate to call a 3 or 4 star song 'filler'. The question is also not necessarily 'what is your favorite album', because your favorites might have some filler.

Upon consulting I-Tunes, the only albums whose every track I have given 5 stars to are:

Secret Treaties - Blue Oyster Cult
Kind of Blue - Miles Davis
Saxophone Colossus - Sonny Rollins

No doubt it helps that these are relatively short albums.

Very close contenders were:

Powertrip - Monster Magnet
Crush the Insects - Reverend Bizarre
Death is this Communion - High on Fire
Master of Reality - Black Sabbath
Painkiller - Judas Priest
Tyranny and Mutation - Blue Oyster Cult
