Metallica, Queensryche and Def Leppard come to mind.

Going to add Megadeth, in my opinion The System Has Failed was a great comback album that fits in with their classic albums, but everything they've released since has been more unremarkable & sterile.  I just don't hear the thrash spirit any more.
 
Not even going to touch on Metallica other than to say that I don't see what makes Death Magnetic any better than any of their 90s albums.
 
Boris is one of my favourite bands but I will freely admit that they haven't done anything amazing in 6 or 7 years.
 
 
Then you've got bands like, say, Korpiklaani or Alestorm (or Dream Theater trololololo) that make me go... okay, I get it, this is your style.  Just don't expect me to buy the "same" album again.  That's an entirely different pot to stir, though.


Kind of?? You either think it blows or not

Clutch and Monster Magnet for me. Flawless discographies.
Coheed And Cambria are flawless for me so far.

Hatebreed are consistently perfect.  

I agree on Mastodon.

Rishloo and Riverside haven't ever made a bad song to my ears.

I need to think about who that is for me for a bit. How 'bout you guys?

Mastodon and Tool are 2 bands that have yet to disappoint me.  However, I didn't even like Mastodon on my first listen (I think I'd only heard "Blood and Thunder" around the time it launched).  I got into them through Crack The Skye, and went backwards realizing they haven't really done wrong.

In addition to these:  Isis (as others mentioned), Enslaved, Napalm Death (though they were still trying to find their sound on Scum), and Alice In Chains have yet to really disappointing me.  I thought of another one at work but forgot.

Bolt Thrower, Rotting Christ, Isis, and Type O Negative all have great discographies imo. I'm probably forgetting a few but these are the ones that popped into my head almost instantaneously.

I feel exactly the opposite about Satyricon. I�m not too thrilled about their early stuff but I really like their later releases.

Sepultura. Once an excellent band, with many classic albums. After the departure of Max Cavalera, Sepultura never were the same...

How about Sadus?  They released some insanely good brutal thrash metal back in the day but then released that really average "comeback" album that sounded nothing similar.

With a name like "Super Collider" I don't have high hopes.  Though it's marginally better than "Th1rt3en"

I find that after The System Has Failed the quality is all over the place. United Abominations was ok, but there was a lot of filler. Endgame was pretty sweet overall and Thirteen was pretty dull. I don't know if I should be looking forward to Super Collider or not to be honest.
