In my experience a different kind of album has to start with interesting music, augmented by compelling visuals and live in the form of a fun physical object.
I love the physical manifestation of music in the form of albums, tapes, or creative types of merch. I silk screened all of my 2007 cd packages and discs with silver and transparent white paint on black for a cool collectible package. I also did posters the same way. It all turned out really cool and I sold a bunch more than expected, it even sold in different parts of the world (some still available here).
For my 2016 album I did 5 clear, lathe cut 12 inch vinyl albums and hand drew the covers. (I have one left for $1000.00 if your interested).
This time around I wanted to add a booklet so I actually started drawing comics to the songs. I also found a better lathe cut vinyl shop called Little Elephant. They do stereo lathe cut on heavy vinyl at high rpms. That all adds up to better quality sound. Oh, and their prices were a bit better.
