I couldn't agree with you anymore. I fit your description perfectly too. Albums are a group of songs put together for a reason. They flow, have beginnings and endings. The progression of songs tells a story, it makes sense. I would hate to see this disappear. I guess I should note that this isn't true for all artists, but for artists like Radiohead, buying a single off one of their albums would only tell a small part of a grand story. I guess I always knew the day would come where Radiohead stop producing albums, I had just hoped it would be a lot further away.

In case you need examples to back up your view of albums, take a look at Adversus' or Eisregens early albums, for example. Adversus' albums are like a depressing hour-long story of a sad love. Eisregen had some really nice 4-song-cycles (FF - like "color darkness" about an evil darkness from the underworld, wiping out humanity, and the Pest-zyklus - like "pestilence cycle", which is a sad, rough tale about abuse of people during the time of pestilence, people going crazy and such.). But I guess such albums are too complicated for todays everyday market and will stay rare. :(
