My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is almost impossible to hear without wanting to listen all the way through to "Who Will Survive in America".

You can't even write racist abuse in excrement on somebody's car without the politically correct brigade jumping down your throat!154, while not perfect per se, has some of the loveliest structuring I've seen in an album. Ditto HEALTH's Get Color; the track flow on that one is magnificent, to the point that I find it extremely difficult to listen to a single track without letting it move to the next one.
This seems to be a running theme in the albums I like, actually.
I'll hide your name inside a word and paint your eyes with false perception.Pink by Boris. Starts out with an amazingly beautiful seven-minute feedback-drenched post-rock song which then suddenly cuts out, only for the next nine songs to be furious hardcore noise-rock/metal tracks, then ending with a twenty-minute epic that starts out as hard-rocking as all the rest then slows down until it's just one note of feedback for the last ten minutes.
Love it so much and it's pulled off so well.

If you don't like a single Frank Ocean song, you have no soul.No Sir, Nihilism is Not Practical by Showbread.
The Novelist by Richard Swift.
The Rebel Soul Sound System by The Dingees is almost perfect. The pentultimate track hurts the winding-down momentum of the album's end; omitting it entirely would have made the album perfect.
Songs for Christmas, Vol V by Sufjan Stevens.
Who's Next, Fragile, and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy are the best examples I can think of.
tumblrHangman's Hymn by Sigh. Especially in the last track when all the recurring riffs and lyrics from throughout the album get thrown at you in succession.
Somehow you know that the time is right.Electric Light Orchestra's A New World Record is just divine in its structuring. It starts out with a perfect album opener ("Tightrope") that seriously pumps you up for the rest of the album, goes into a slightly gentle but still not held back song ("Telephone Line"), kicks things into rockin' gear ("Rockaria!"), gives another gentle-yet-desperate number ("Mission (A World Record)", then has two tracks that segue into one another ("So Fine" and "Livin' Thing"), one of which is very fun and the other of which is fun yet reflective, brings out another gentle interlude ("Above the Clouds") which serves to make the next rockin' number knock your socks to Bangkok ("Do Ya"), followed by the album's closer ("Shangri-La"), which definitely seems to give some closure to the album.

Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.A lot of Blind Guardian's stuff, but in particular Nightfall in Middle-Earth. Both for the lyrics and the sound of the songs.
Shinigan (Naruto fanfic)Edited my above post for great justice.

Which albums do you think, have a perfect structure to the tracks and how the album generally progesses.
I think The Dark Side Of The Moon, Since I Left You (cheating, since it does use Fading Into the Next Song), The Bends by Radiohead, and Discovery by Daft Punk are structured brillantly.
It's metafiction about metafiction about metafiction. More serious message: Don't you wish you watch everything that happens in the wo
