Some of the albums I deem perfect:

1) Dream Theater -- Images & Words
2) Godspeed You! Black Emperor -- lift yr. skinny fists like antennas to heaven
3) Deathspell Omega -- Si Monvmentvm Reqvires, Circvmspice

I'd list what little more I have, but dammit, I'm tired, so you'll have to manage with that. Now go out there and change the world, soldier.

Only the first 2 are certain to not change. I've only listened to metal for 4 years, almost 5 now, so I dont have a huge mass of best ever albums yet, just a bunch of kickass ones, my opinion of course.

Nightwish - Oceanborn
Savatage - Hall of The Mountain King
Dream Theater - Awake
Helloween - Keeper of The Seven Keys Part II
Dio - Holy Diver
Blind Guardian - A Night At The Opera
Demons & Wizards - Demons & Wizards
Elvenking - Heathenreel
Virgin Steele - Invictus
Within Temptation - Mother Earth
Gamma Ray - Power Plant
Freternia - A Nightmare Story

Good enough for now, these are the albums that more or less have never bored me no matter what my mood and I pretty much never skip a track.

I´m also new to metal, so far the only album i see as perfect is:

Rage - Soundchaser

I will probably never get bored at it.
