Not just a collection of songs, but albums with interludes, transitions, atmosphere, skits, translations, recurring themes, or storytelling that make them feel like a complete journey from start to finish.
Drop albums where listening front-to-back is essential and the whole project is greater than the individual tracks.

TLOP is an experience but it's an underwhelming album & the majority of the songs (it has 16 tracks without counting skits/interludes) don't hold enough weight outside of the full listen
Prince Paul one of the GOATs for this, his work with De La pioneered skits, that + his solo work also led to his collaboration with Chris Rock which aimed to innovate on the comedy album genre by building a world around the standup routines (No S***was a hit, Champagne was an early & also very blatant P Diddy diss)
Prince Among Thieves
He assembled this but kept basically all the features in the dark about it because he was shook someone would take the idea from him before he dropped it
Psychoanalysis
It sounds as though he just released all the strangest ideas/thoughts from his subconscious out into the world
Also s/o to Janet Jackson, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis for all those albums
The heavy use of frequent interludes/segues throughout that Rhythm Nation/Janet/Velvet Rope run
& the heavy genre bending
