Does it matter how many people share the same philosophy?
(there's this saying in Poland "millions of flies can"t be wrong, let's eat ****")

I think many musicians (who would call themselves "musicians" [not the likes of Timberlakes or whatever]) would actually say the believe in that
(and then goes the infamous Schopenhauer quote, which he said after being accused of not following the guidelines he gives to others "I don't have to live a virtuous life in order to give good advice").

What does that mean exactly? Albums should only be appreciated by listening to the whole thing? Or every track should bleed and transition into the next?

What about bands that are great singles artists but poor album artists? Are they a bad band, even if they've consistently put out great singles?

EDIT: An example, I love me some house music. Sonny Fodera is one of my favorite modern house DJs. He's got great singles out the ass and he does great sets and mixes. But he just put out an album and as a whole, it doesn't really hang together. House as a genre is more geared towards great singles than album compositions, so your theory, if it's even one worth pursuing or defending, may be limited by genre.
