Pain of Salvation,
dredg,
The Dear Hunter,
Chroma Key,
Mr. Bungle,
Guapo,
Between the Buried and Me,
 A Silver Mt. Zion,
Envy,
Ulver,
Tool

Only have two albums but also,

OSI,
Wolves in the Throne Room,
Grayceon,
Gregor Samsa,
Pax Cecilia,

Also everything Hughes said plus King Crimson. VdGG comes close but I'd say theyre one album shy of making it.

Yes Nemo is a great band full of talented musicians, I've reviewed two albums by them and I was impressed by how easy they manage to handle the instruments. Are many more for sure, Jethro Tull, everything between Stand up to Broad sword are good, at least for me, Renaissance all from the '70's albums are strong, and many more, Iron Maiden all of the '80's albums are unmatched , etc

Bungle Clap
 
PoS Confused (they're pretty uneven)
 
Ulver Ermm (I love this band but they've got several weak albums)
 
Tool Evil Smile (Opening Pandora's box with that choice)

Only POS album I'd put under 3.5 is Scarsick and that would definitely be an Average album. POS are the most consistent metal band in my opinion.

I could think of many with, say, four albums or less, but for more Present, Univers Zero, and Miriodor spring to mind.
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment.

I love A Silver Mt Zion, but they have released one or two albums that make me cringe (13 blues for thirteen moons and This is our Punk Rock)

13 Blues for Thirteen Moons is actually my favorite album by them. Vocals are ungodly on it.

Sorry, just saw a few in there that I really like but consider really uneven. I'm that silly fool who gave TPE five stars and Remedy Lane two. Tool is another one, I really like them, but I honestly don't think I've listen to any of their early albums through in their entirety (including Aenima). Great songs on them, but.....
 
And I felt ashamed not to have remembered Mr. Bungle as a fanboy, 3 awesome albums, significantly different sound. All 4+ stars.
 
Sorry I didn't mean to target you, just bands that I feel strongly about.

^Yes, Tool are my favorite band, but their early work was anything but above-average. Pretty generic stuff, if you ask me. They only began to blossom with AEnima, so in my view, they aren't a band that has been all that consistant throughout their career.

The Decemberists
The Mars Volta
Oceansize
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum

I haven't heard PG 2 or some of his soundtracks, but it seems like he could easily belong on this list.

Sorry, didnt mean to upset you.

I will admit that I've only listened too it twice. Maybe I should go back and give it another chance since I love them so much. My favorite is "Born Into Trouble as Sparks Fly Upwards."

They are GREAT albums, I don't care what anyone says.

Besides the big three from Eclectic I would add Tribal Tech , Vital Information , The Tangent , Porcupine Tree and Rush.

The Soft Machine is another valid choice , their weaker albums are 3.5 stars to me

The Tangent and Transatlantic are the only ones I can think of although they both have made few albums.
