Name 5 artists who intentionally created albums with that track order purposefully, not done by the record label marketing team.

Obvious concept albums like WotW don't count.

What the fuck are you talking about?

90% of albums are literally just the best 10-12 songs since the last albums sold in albums for easier profit.

Cardiacs' discography since their record label is managed by the band itself.
OP status: proven wrong.

They want 5 artists tho. Unless you're counting each member of The Cardiacs individually.

Without concrete evidence it's all speculation, but you can believe within reasonable argumentation that it happens for many albums.

If album order is vital why don't bands all play full albums in order when live?

The original back cover of Todd Rundgren's Hermit of Mink Hollow had Todd's preferred running order. It's not a huge deal because there's really no concept to the album, but I do think Todd's version flows better because all the similar-sounding songs aren't clumped together.

Amusingly, this also caused Robert Christgau to cast misguided disdain for Todd:

>Only a weight as willfully light as Todd can be trusted to put his smartest song ("Onomatopeia") on "the easy side" and his dumbest ("Bag Lady") on "the difficult side."

Sure.
Cardiacs, Sea Nymphs, William D Drake
And its not difficult to find other artists in the same situation.
Frank Zappa did the same together with the artists signed to his label like Captain Beefheart.
So there you have 5 artists already.

Shiina Ringo (Kalk Zamen Kuri no Hana is the most meticulously sequenced album I know)
Kate Bush (Hounds of Love)
Nine Inch Nails (Downward Spiral)
The Avalanches (SILY)
Radiohead (OKC and Kid A)
