    I'd say Nirvana - Nevermind. Not my favourite album, but not a single song out of place
    This reminds me of a comment from Loudon  Wainwright III during his live show: "my number one fan told me I'm his third favourite artist"

    Must have preferred Loudon Wainwright I and II (or any of his ridiculously talented family!)

    "We are Chaos" is my personal favourite album and I think it always will be.

    That stuff usually wears off on me and I no longer feel into it after a while but It has timeless excellent atmospheric songs in my opinion.

    It is a detailed work of art

    @cafctom interesting you list And Justice For All, is that the original or the remastered “with bass” version? Personally like the original, it adds to the cold detachment of the subject matter.

    Man! You old sod.

    Hard, cos even on great albums there's often a dodgy track or two.


    Blood on the Tracks, Blue (you love it really Cliff) and the third Velvets album,
    Yes to these three, although Blonde on Blonde might be up there with BotT. 

    I’d add Bowie’s Low. 
    Pet Sounds - Beach Boys
    And African Dub Chapter 3 (Joe Gibbs and the Professionals). 
    Possibly the first Clash album, but I’ll need to listen to it again. And maybe the second Roxy Music album. 
    And after watching Get Back I’m enjoying Let It Be.

    The original - for the same reason as you. And production aside, they are just all great tracks. Complex arrangements, great riffs and an absolute ton of angst on display in the aftermath of Cliff Burton's death.

    I think Rasmussen produced it also, i like that his ethos was that the sound in itself should be an artistic statement rather than just getting it sounding technically perfect (which is where metal went wrong in the 90’s). Same approach as Rick Rubin.

    There are tens, maybe a hundred albums where I love every track with no fillers - probably number 1 would be Dark Side.

    I'll add one that I don't think has been mentioned (or have missed it if it has) - Never Mind the Bollocks.

    I nearly added that myself, but I think No Fun is a bit of a filler.
