There was something about having to get up and flip over the doors or van morrison halfway through that gave us a moment's pause for reflection.

More than just something. Albums forced artists to think about how songs would flow together, how one song would follow another. And that nice "crackling bacon" sound added a tangible reminder of the physicality of the medium. And the tactile and visual pleasure of just holding and looking at the album cover...how can one replace that with a CD or just a naked song on an iPod?
Most audiophiles still swear by vinyl with tube amps. Sweet.
