Nobody's Perfect is the debut album by UK new-wave band The Distractions. Following the records's poor sales, the band split in 1981[1], the album remaining The Distractions' only LP.

In his review, David Quantick described the album as follows:

Nobody's Perfect was The Distractions' chance to expand on their nascent genius and by golly, they did...[they] pulled every pop stop out and made a quietly glorious record. It was modern, yet it harked back through pop history; it was melancholy and it was daft; all the good pop stuff.[2]
