What kinda music have you listened to? Bands/artists who compose albums with a central concept and/or sound are a lot easier for me to listen to than albums that are collections of unconnected songs. For an example, Devin Townsend's Ziltoid the Omniscient, and Empath, or King Gizzard's PetroDragonic Apocalypse are way more listenable as a full album than some pop-music album designed to hit the top charts with maximum radio/streamablility.
I mean, yeah, the power of a well composed album is something special. The first 5 or 6 times...
But after that, I just can't do it anymore. If I had only 10 albums to listen to, they'd pretty much sit ignored except for maybe once or twice a year
If you could shuffle 10 albums worth of songs it wouldn't be that bad. I'm sure it would still get old but not knowing what's going to play next is a much different experience than having to be locked into a whole album at a time.
