When I sit down to listen to music, I will always choose to listen to it in the album format. Whether it's an album of 55 minutes and 12 tracks, or 55 minutes and two tracks is ultimately irrelevant.
Interestingly, I do find that there is a psychological effect on me when the same amount of music is broken down into more recognizable chunks. A lengthy track seems to suggest a certain amount of repetition or dullness (which is nonsense, but I always find myself expecting an intense or droning experience when I see a 45 minute track.)
