Q: Do you think putting songs into albums could add to the experience, either by having songs lead into one another, one song setting up the listener's starting mood for the next, or the song ordering hinting at an general story arc, to name a few ways?
A: it seems if you go down that road, you might as well add connecting story, maybe some dialogue, interlude scenes, video, put the whole story on video and/or the stage. make it a musical, or movie, etc.. If it's only songs then i say let the songs be songs
