Albums that almost never miss a beat*:
 Koop - Sons of Koop; Waltz for Koop
 Everything But The Girl - Walking Wounded
 Portishead - Dummy; Portishead
 Massive Attack - Blue Lines
 Stereolab - Dots & Loops
 Radiohead - Kid A
 Lush - Gala
 Photek - Modus Operandi
 Lost In Translation - OST
 A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders
 Mr. Scruff - Trouser Jazz
 Tosca - Delhi 9 Disc 1
 Yukihiro Fukutomi - Love Each Other
 Fred Everything - Under The Sun
 Jori Hulkkonen - The Spirits Inside Me; Different
 U2 - October
 The Pharcyde - Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde
 PJ Harvey - Rid of Me
 
 
 *In this age of carrying a month's worth of music in your pocket, I don't really listen to albums all the way through that much anymore.  Stereolab, Portishead and Koop almost always get full plays, as do the various mix albums I have, which I didn't count here because you sort of have to listen to them all the way through or you miss something.  In most cases, though, I'll stop on an artist and just shuffle through everything, occassionally snagging a song that wasn't quite up to par.

Embarrassingly enough, no.   :)

I know, but nothing they did after those two EPs was ever quite as good.  As far as the full lengths go I'd pretty much put them in order of release.  If we're counting the albums that aren't, though, I might put Topolino slightly above Lovelife.  Haven't listened to it in a while though so I'd need to give them both a good once over.
