In my case, the albums that have become my favorites are the ones I feel I absolutely have to listen to from start to finish. Of course, there are standout tracks, and some, though good, might pale in comparison to others. But it’s the experience of listening to the entire album that captivates me.

Examples:

• “Flowerboy” by Tyler, The Creator.
• “Affinity” by Haken
• “Brat” by Charli XCX
• The debut album by Gentle Giant
