I'm compelled to think about albums that are more than just a collection of good songs or that have an exemplary dynamic arc.
With regards to the former there are the obvious choices like Queensryche's Operation: Mindcrime and Promised Land (both of which I've seen performed numerous times and it's always amazing), Ram-Zet's Escape, any of the first 4 Pain of Salvation albums and Edge of Sanity's Crimson and Crimson II.
With regards to the latter, Vauxdvihl's To Dimension Logic, Emperor's IX Equilibrium, Dissection's Storm or the Light's Bane, Fates Warning's Perfect Symmetry, Nevermore's Dreaming Neon Black and Meshuggah's Nothing immediately come to mind.
