Some albums are crafted to be listened in one go, and most albums have some kind of cohesion tying the tracks together.
For example, The Rainbow Goblins by Masayoshi Takanaka is best listened in one sitting - there's a progression (and story) between the tracks that's lost when the tracks are split up or out of order.
Having said that, there are artists out there who should probably just release EPs and compilations instead of albums with a hit single or two and filler. A well crafted album is an art in itself.
