Or, as a compilation, it presents a themed set of material. These concepts are alive and well, and you find them in the classical world also [...].

Good point, I think you're right. So we should look at every album if it makes sense to keep it as an album or if it is meaningless

If you 'get rid' of the album, the question arises as to what you replace it with.

In classical music we have opus or 'work'.
