what are the best albums in the 'pop album' mode described here

the best pop (genre) albums i can think of are ones that generally have more stylistic cohesion even if there's a wide variety of creative personnel involved from track to track

Yeah, I am having trouble thinking of pop albums that fit that description. I’m sure they are a thing, but I guess I don’t usually listen to them?

I guess “Wrecking Ball” and “We Don’t Stop” don’t sound much like, are on the same album.

this has been on my mind lately.
I LOVE albums
but I think albums need to hurry up and die already so that music can grow wings.

No

I think the way the question is formulated sends us down the conversation on authenticity: a pop album thus defined would tend to feel superficial and boneless, borrowing and using pastiche instead of finding the true coherence only attained by the true songwriter (if that's what "single-origin" means). Actually, the rock album does not sound much more exciting, it will have more bone but it already sounds samey, authentic but with limited appeal and no genius, a collective effort where no one stands out ("ecumenical").

Probably 95% of albums fall within those two categories, but it is indeed the exceptions that transcend those categories that strike the imagination.
