I don't mean like an Album that has that one song you like, I mean like an Album you would tottaly buy for at least 75% of the songs on it.
I have a few favorites, but this is the one I'll post for the op.

Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds, New Generation or Classic 1978 album, doesn't matter, they're both awesome.

By far my favourite album, a constant barrage of thrashy prog metal with a beautifully cheesy flair for the bombastic and theatrical.
Other favourites include - Rage Against the Machine - [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsC4XggcXFY]The Battle of Los Angeles[/url], Daft Punk - [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjC7dctw7LU]Discovery[/url], Tesseract - [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rC5O-8QTQX8]Altered State[/url], The Avalanches - [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRM1S6Jno8A]Since I Left You[/url]
My favorite album of all time, keep in mind it was written 20 yeas ago, released 2 years after.
It took me months to listen to the whole album in one sitting, even longer to get around to actually appreciate what I was hearing, and years to feel like I had actually heard everything in it. These days as I learn more theory and my taste in music becomes even more expansive my love for this album grows even larger and I am beginning to understand just what went into this album.

I'd also like to give a shout out to one of the most criminally underrated bands ever, Maudlin of the Well.

I find myself listening to these albums quite frequently and I still love the fuck out of them even years after finding them. Solid favorites for me

I would buy all the songs individually on all these albums (even the interludes on nightfall).
Sevendust - Black Out the Sun
Ministry - The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste
The Slot - Break the Code
At the moment:

I love how each song transitions to the next.

This album is such a fantastic listen.
BH&R is a close second.

I love all of QOTSA's stuff, but Songs for the Deaf is probably my favourite.
