AC/DC has openly refused to do anything but full album sales (they think that the digital world of “buy only the tracks you want” is “destroying the artistic consistency and purity of” their work. Yeah, and you guys never released singles either, right? Oh wait....)

If this was truly the case then listening to AC/DC would be like listening to hard rock / metal symphony .... each song in an album is a movement? I don't think so.

Yeah, I don’t notice them complaining about singles or lone tracks getting played on the radio.... or getting sold in stores......

I can think of some albums that tell a cohesive story and are best listened to as a whole, like The Wall, Tommy, Quadrophenia and Ziggy Stardust. But I can't think of a single AC/DC album that is more than a collection of singles.

"...each song in an album is a movement?"

Most of the old Moody Blue Albums and pretty much all of Al Stewart's albums were exactly that: common-themed and pretty much progressing one to another.

Swear allegiance to the flag, whatever flag they offer;
Never hint at what you really feel.
Teach the children quietly for, someday, sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still.
