Great point. This is just another aspect of the trend of emphasizing single tracks over albums - all fueled by streaming. Through all these changes, I think we've lost something of the beauty of the album as a cohesive artistic project. I still listen to CDs and vinyl a lot so that I can enjoy that sense of a collection of songs.

I agree, I find a well composed album to be such a wonderful piece of art compared to one amazing single. They both have their place, but listening to a full album feels like I'm closer to the artist's intention which I like.
