Perfect Albums

That's why I used the word cohesive. If the album is all tied together it plays like the chapters of a book. People used to build albums with intentionality because they were trying to move vinyl rather than one cut. I don't know if you'll get many more attempts at an "album." Foo Fighters Wasting Light takes a shot at it and is a great collection of songs but doesn't quite have it.

OK, good point. There was once a whole demographic for albums, and separate market for singles. The internet, downloading, ipods, have changed that quite a bit.
Back in my day, ya had to work making mixed tapes, eliminating the clinkers, and create something to make her swoon.
