I think what the OP meant by "Album" was musical work, not necessarily the vinyl itself. I'm sure must of us play our records all the way through.
Quick story: My neighbors come over every now & then for foosball, beers, and jams. I used to just load up the cd player and put it on random. This was about 10-12 years ago before vinyl made its resurgence. My buddy came out of my "storage closet" of music with AC/DC's Back in Black LP and asked if I could play it. I almost laughed because I thought - "Everyone knows that!".
But that was the point, everyone knew it. Everyone knew exactly what was coming up next after each song and totally dug it!
That experience opened my eyes and I've never used random since, even on cd's.
