I was careful to say "tracks" instead of "songs" for that reason. Let's say that interludes count, but they can be considered outstanding interludes too. Are they, on Laterlus?Lateralus, provided interludes don't count as 'songs'.

Even ”Aumgn” and ”Peking O.”? Not trying to challenge you or anything, just curious. They are rather divisive tracks for the fans, after all.
Sorry for the late reply. Both of those tracks are excellent to me. Maybe I have to be in a certain mood (or perhaps under the influence of some psychoactive substance) to enjoy them more than the rest of the album, but in any situation I don't find them to be a weaker point on the album like those tracks I mentioned earlier or say Rainbows/Eye on Madvillainy.I'd consider this one too myself, but I'm curious how you feel about Peking O and Aumgn.
Yeah, totally. I do have some struggles with them (mostly just the Damo Suzuki gibberish part of Peking O) and I don't think I'm ever in such a mood where I think they necessarily become BETTER than the tracks that surround them (maybe sometimes better than Bring Me Coffee and Tea), but I do find them outstanding nonetheless.Sorry for the late reply.

Back in the village is not an outstanding song. Neither is Losfer WordsThey are rare. I only have a handful.
Weezer - Pinkerton
Iron Maiden - Powerslave
Scumbucket - Finistra
New Model Army - No Rest for the Wicked
That's all I can think of right now. I have probably more.
I'm listening to Queen Innuendo. I'd put it on this thread. Literally, every song I was excited to hear on a track-by-track basis.Born In the USA. I'd give every track on that album at least an 8.0/10. Possibly, Automatic For The People.

Just thought of another album that I could add to my list for this thread:
Kate Bush - The Dreaming
IMO it was there only good album but Torches by Foster the People is a very consistently good album.
Just wanted to clarify that consistently good and interesting does not have anything to do with what the thread's asking. We're looking for uncompromising, zero exception examples, not "really worthwhile and consistent within reason".The Cirque du Soleil Beatles soundtrack "Love" is mighty interesting from start to finish.
Yeah, that's sort of the distinction that I wanted the thread to be exclusively about. We already know that tons of albums are cake where the positives largely outweigh the negatives, but what I'm interested in is which albums ACTUALLY accomplish the unthinkable, where there ARE no lesser quality songs that you would ideally want to be made up for.I think every album is going to have 1 or two that are questionable. If the great songs are so good you can ignore the lesser quality of the one or 2 songs on the album, then its cake.
