It's really a different discussion, but you bring up a good point. There are so many artists and music is so accessible that we don't have albums like we used to.

I used to listen to the same album every night multiple times for months on end. Then I'd move on to another album. The albums I bought and listened to in the early 90s were played hundreds of times all the way through.

There are still a handful of albums I've done that with more recently, but I think I'm in the minority at this point... and it isn't like it used to be for me either.
