He flows ambient and pop together in a way that services the whole. Perfect in many ways. This feels like cheating.
The Beatles- Abbey Road- ok this is cheating.
Bob Dylan- Royal Albert Hall- inventing the acoustic —> electric set
Reed/Cale- Songs for Drella: the best story/concept album
Kendrick Lamar- good kid m.A.A.d city: same reason^
Parquet Courts- Light Up Gold: relentless
Animal Collective- Feels: the manic descent towards “Banshee Beat”, the holy ascension of “Turn Into Something”

The first one that came to mind was Abbey Road haha
I feel like The Beatles did this pretty well in general but maybe I feel that way due to the amount of times I listened at different stages of my life.
John Prine - The Tree of Forgiveness
Father John Misty - I Love you honeybear
Neil Young - On The Beach
Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy
