@achewood I once had the idea that, if only for a moment each night, everyone in the world was asleep at the same time. It made the world manageable.

ok. good to know that it isn't irrational. Or... maybe it still is.

I listened to a little big of Clouds Taste Metallic. I think it is going to be like Transmissions from the Sattelite Heart and In a Priest-Driven Ambulance in that... at first I don't get it, and then suddenly I realize that I love every song on it.

At least, I'm hoping that will happen with Priest-Driven Ambulance. It's in the works.

I'm still at that phase with Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. I know I have some embryonic ability to love this album, and there are certain songs on it that I love, but... it's not quite clicking yet.

I think I've just come to the realization that Captain Beefheart's Safe as Milk is a perfect album. 

Other perfect albums that come to mind (without much serious thought given...)

The Band
Highway 61 Revisited
John Prine
Dark Side of the Moon  (arguably also PATGOD and Meddle.)
Hot Rats
Both Revolver and Rubber Soul

Highway 61 Revisited

God I love that album, but Queen Jane Approximately and Highway 61 Revisited bug me.  Sometimes I like them, sometimes I don't, but they always seem a bit off.  Anything with Just Like Tom Thumbs Blues and Desolation Row back to back can be considered perfect though.  Especially once you add Ballad of a Thin Man to the mix.

Also, John Prine is awesome.  A great band by the name of Spiritualized stole some lyrics from that album ("There's a hole in Daddy's arm where all the money goes/ Jesus died for nothing, I suppose').  Except for they use "my", not "Daddy's".

Also, a perfect album that I have found in the last couple weeks is Easter Everywhere by the 13th Floor Elevators.

It is mind blowing.
