Really? You definitely should check out the whole thing, not one bad tune imo

Grizzly Bear even split their newest album up conceptually on vinyl, and it's an album that was made to be almost entirely cohesive as if for CD.

Oh, and Smile can makes the truest sense of Brian Wilson's vision on vinyl.
Definitely true, and with albums like that, flipping is not only necessary but it serves a meaningful purpose. But it's not the case with ALL albums, and especially not the case with "All Eyez on Me".
