Pic related, Brand New's 'The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me'. Absolutely beautiful, with every song contributing to the overall feel that sticks with you even after the last song. This might be a bit biased beings I've been listening to Brand New since 7th grade, but I'm sure many others can agree anyway.
So, the question stands: what album can you listen to over and over without getting tired of? What's that one album that deserves to be called your most favorite, or you enjoy completely and thoroughly?

Edited by tntbabin: 7/13/2013 5:34:10 PMIron Maiden's "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son": Every song on the album eloquently tells part of a rather interesting story about the seventh son of a seventh son, the protagonist of the concept album and does a fantastic job of setting the atmosphere with the use of Bruce's vocals and synthesizers. To top it of, every single song on the album is an absolute pleasure to listen to. Megadeth's "Rust in Peace": Nothing but amazing songs full of amazing riffs and solos. Despite being insanely fast and technical the songs manage to find melody. Marty is an amazing guitarist, the best Megadeth has ever had and ever will have, one of the best out there. Megadeth's "Peace Sells... But Who's Buying": Love the dark, punky mood the album sets, the jazzy guitar work courtesy of Chris Poland, and Megadeth's trademark speed. This album, while not quite as technical as "Rust in Peace", is much more aggressive. Metallica's "Master of Puppets": The album that really introduced me to metal. Fantastic riffs and drumming, made all the better by Cliff Burton's writing and bass. Metallica's "Ride the Lightning" For most of the same reasons that "Master of Puppets" is awesome. Now I don't believe that there is such a thing as a "flawless album", however I believe the above mentioned albums come damn close. There are other albums I could mention but these are five off the top of my head. And yes, I did get lazy typing around the end.

I hate to be somewhat cliche, but Abbey Road, by the Beatles. I simply cannot get tired of this album

I don't think I could whittle it down to just the one, but some of my favourites are: Moby - Play The White Stripes - White Blood Cells Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea The Velvet Underground (self titled) Lou Reed - Transformer Sonic Youth - Murray Street Pixies - Doolittle Leonard Cohen - I'm Your Man Radiohead - Kid A Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness Mr. Bungle - California I limited it to one album per artist, but there'd be a few more Velvet Underground and Sonic Youth albums on there if I hadn't.
