I'm not sure if this is a topic or not. Oh well, here goes.
What makes an AIO album great? Is it the ratio of good episodes to bad episodes? How well the album "flows"? An underlying theme or story? Or something else entirely? Here's the place to vote on your favorite AIO album of all time. Since there are only 20 possible options in a poll, I've grouped the albums into eras. Just vote on one of the eras and be more specific in your actual post.

46-50, because all my favorite characters are there, and the town feels like the way I've always seen it—big enough to where there are plenty of things to do, but small enough to have that down-to-earth feel. I can't really explain what makes me see it that way, but I do. The community of Odyssey seems so close-knit and yet everyone is so independent. It's probably because there are so many storylines going on at the same time—Grady's family and his journey to Christ, Eugene's search for his father, Wooton's friendship with Grady, the Washingtons taking in Kelly, Mandy's parents separating, and the closure to Jason's government work (for the time being), which means that so many characters are incorporated and fleshed out in the context of each one that I feel like I know everyone that appeared in those albums on a more intimate level than I know the ones in the past.
it's not about 'deserve'. it's about what you believe. and i believe in love
There isn't really a consistently good album. The sagas are good though. For me it'd be a tie between GRC and Blackgaard.

I beg to differ, Novatom. Albums like The Best Small Town, Darkness Before Dawn, Daring Deeds, Sinister Schemes, and even minor works such as Other Times, Other Places, Wish You Were Here, and The Deep End were all comprised of quality episodes, the whole way through. I would say those are my 6 favorites. Top 3 are, in order: Darkness Before Dawn, Wish You Were Here, and The Best Small Town.

I meant "consistently" as in just about every episode in that album. I didn't mean the sagas. Those are consistently good.

It actually is a whole lot harder to make an album full of quality one or two-parter episodes, than an album that is mostly or wholly comprised of a saga.
Do you think you know music? Guess the hints at the end of each of my posts in A Musical Journey. (The name's a link. You can click it.)
