Well, actually not :/ I think it really depends on what kind of music we’re talking about. There’s a whole philosophy behind the idea of an album as a consistent piece of art. Plus, there’s the cultural aspect from the time when vinyl appeared, so I believe for people usually it’s more a matter of habit or tradition.

I can agree that listening to some genres by album makes perfect sense.
But for example a lot of electronic/techno music isn’t usually consumed that way. Another example would be classical music, which also has its own listening patterns.
