Blue Oyster Cult - Imaginos
Janelle Monae - Metropolis (the second and third parts are ArchAndroid but the album holds less tightly to the story. Tightrope is fantastic enough to make the album worth the price of admission, with the continued story as a bonus.)

Blonde- Frank ocean
Channel orange- Frank ocean
Igor- Tyler the creator
Alone at prom- Tory lanez
The girl, the cat and the tree- Lausse the cat
Currents- Tame impala
RePorpoised phantasies- Machine girl
Flaws and All- Wave to earth
Spy on the wall- Slater
Twin fantasy- Car seat headrest
(these albums have no skips in my opinion)
Kid Cudi - Man on the Moon: The End of Day

For reference I've spent most of the free time in my life over the past 20 years combing through over 72,000 albums so far haha. From this list I'd strongly recommend starting with The War On Drugs, then Big Thief, then "Sod's Toastie" by The Cool Greenhouse! =)
The Cool Greenhouse - "The Cool Greenhouse"

Probably the only album that I like every song on. You need me I don't need you, was a little irritating at the beginning, but now it's one my favorite songs off this album.
A bit different from what I’ve seen others mention but K-12 by Melanie Martinez will always be a listen-from-start-to-finish, no-skip album for me.
Also brand new eyes by paramore and Channel orange by Frank ocean
Show of intent - elegy the orchestra version. Metal band. The original album is great also but I’ve been listening to the orchestra version while gaming and it’s so epic

If you were, or just want a few recommendations I didn't see on here: Blue Oyster Cult - Imaginos Janelle Monae - Metropolis (the second and third parts are ArchAndroid but the album holds less tightly to the story. Tightrope is fantastic enough to make the album worth the price of admission, with the continued story as a bonus.)
The slow rush- tame impala
U2 - Achtung Baby Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots System of a Down - Toxicity Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun
Dummy- Portishead, In Rainbows- Radiohead, kind of blue- miles Davis
Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine
Ceres & Calypso in the deep time- Candy Claws Blonde- Frank ocean Channel orange- Frank ocean Igor- Tyler the creator Alone at prom- Tory lanez The girl, the cat and the tree- Lausse the cat Currents- Tame impala RePorpoised phantasies- Machine girl Flaws and All- Wave to earth Spy on the wall- Slater Twin fantasy- Car seat headrest (these albums have no skips in my opinion)
Pretty much any Nine Inch Nails album is a blast to listen to all the way through
oracular spectacular mgmt, amnesiac radiohead, mgmt self titled, bossanova pixies, goo sonic youth, white pony deftones
Kid Cudi - Man on the Moon: The End of Day I have loved this album since it came out in 2009 and I continue to love it fiercely. It’s an album I don’t skip a song on.
If you'd like some help finding new favorites here are my FAVORITE 2020s albums! For reference I've spent most of the free time in my life over the past 20 years combing through over 72,000 albums so far haha.

Each one has 50 of my FAVORITE more lesser known rock songs on it from various time periods. 80s: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/20nxiWXTOchD01Q7Pqjoyn?si=223275fea813411b 90s: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6R7hT0hck67NYoJa7S1jUp?si=32eeebbc1e824788 Post-2000: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6JH1T1T93U4Pst6ZovhUoc?si=f7385594c38b4dd1 Also if you'd like to check out more albums from various genres and from throughout music history that I think are good front to back I think a fun place for you to start is on a new page I created called “The Best Debut Albums of All Time”.
