Holy fuck I used to listen to the shit outta their two propers. Incredibly underrated artists. The voice, lyrics, songwriting, band interplay. I really love these guys.

I haven't listened to this band in too long.

The Mynabirds - What We Lose in the Fire we Gain in the Flood
Didn't you just start listening to these guys?
Edit: I was on song 3 of What We Lose... from all the hyperbolic love in that thread, still just barely dipping my foot into getting into them.
A few weeks ago. It's enough to know what a perfect album sounds like.

Yes, yes you should.

It's 2025 and this thread has been 12 years a slave to obscurity. Does everyone still have an unchanged idea of perfection? Did anyone evolve? In 2013 I might have included something from Wilco or Radiohead in consideration, but I can barely stand either of those bands now. Their latter-day sins burned me out.
The present iteration of me would nominate Metamodern Sounds In Country Music as perfect. It's 100% consistent to itself, it has high quality musicianship and songwriting, it's recorded and engineered incredibly well, it's concise--there's no time to get bored because in 35 minutes you're done.
There might be like 6 or 7 Miles Davis albums that fit this.
But I’ll add from jazz land Charles Mingus - The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady
From rock: Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
What’s most amazing is my favorite thus far in that other thread is Electric Ladyland, which is probably not flawless, but mind blowing in so many ways.
