I've got a different view of that. Any album can be atmospheric the way I look at it. If I somehow subjectively click with the sound of an album in some mysterious way, then I can find it very atmospheric - even if it's just a pop album. Kylie Minogue's album, Body Language has that quality to me. It's oddly dreamy and gets me in a certain mindset if I sit through the whole thing.

But even if it was a qantifiable thing, it would still at the very least be entirely subjective whether it's an engrossing atmosphere or not.
