If by this is meant not a single duff track and it hangs together brilliantly as a whole and just demands to be played from beginning to end, then these do that to my ears...
Talk Talk - Spirit Of Eden
Love - Forever Changes
Eno - Another Green World
Bowie - Hunky Dory and Low (He seems to be doing pretty well here!)
Pulp - Different Class
The Residents - Eskimo
and a couple of very nearlies...
Madness - One Step Beyond...
Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation

Of something like 10,000 albums I own or have ready access to, only the following are literally faultless in my eyes:
Steve Winwood 'Arc Of A Diver'
Peter Hammill 'Over'
Jethro Tull 'Benefit'
Iggy and the Stooges 'Raw Power'
Magazine 'Secondhand Daylight'
Caravan 'In The Land Of Grey & Pink'
Sassafras 'Wheelin' and Dealin''
'Charlie Parker With Strings'
Hatfield and the North 'The Rotters' Club'
Robert Wyatt 'Rock Bottom'
Kevin Ayers 'Joy Of A Toy'
The Zombies 'Odessey and Oracle'
Dave Brubeck 'Jazz Impressions Of New York'
Al Stewart 'Love Chronicles'
This is not, of course, to disparage the myriad of albums that I love enough of to never imagine myself without, e.g Gong's 'You', Crimson's 'Red', Copey's 'Fried', Nick Drake's 'Bryter Layter', Purple's 'In Rock' etc etc etc, where nearly every track is solid gold but there's just enough pissing about to fall short of the exalted perfect marking. The above fourteen records are however so PURE that I wouldn't change a single nano-second.

having a quick shufty through my rather meagre collection:
David Bowie - Earthling, Low. I expect not many like Earthling but i really love it. Not a duff track
Captain Beefheart - Shiny Beast. Likewise
Julian Cope - Jehovahkill
Miles Davis - hard to pick from so many, but i suppose Bitches Brew or Live Evil or In a Silent Way
Brian Eno - Another Green World, Taking Tiger Mountain
Faust - s/t
Jah Wobble & Evan Parker - Passage to Hades
Neil Young - Tonights the night
Six Organs of Admittance - School of the Flower
Mark Lanegan - The Winding Sheet
Espers - s/t
It don't get much better than that lot

Mark Lanegan-The Winding Sheet
good call-add 'Whiskey for the Holy Ghost' & 'Scraps at Midnight' as well to make up a magnificent threesome.
