Having it be "about songs" is what spawned a whole culture of people paying MORE for an inferior product, and sacrificing their attention span while giving themselves a tin ear.
T he album format at least documents a creative phase in a band or artist's existence, whether it is a "concept album" or not.
True, most albums will have a song or two you don't like as much, but I can think of quite a few rock-solid albums. And I love a successfully pulled-off concept LP.
Edit:
I do like when a big "hit single" isn't on an LP, like "20th Century Boy."
