i think an album can be all masterpieces but the album itself isn't a masterpiece. it's very rare, but it's happens! if the album just sounds like a playlist and not a cohesive whole, i can't really call it a masterpiece. in a masterpiece of an album, each song elevates all of the others. sometimes that means telling a story, sometimes that means musical ideas pop up in multiple songs, and sometimes it's an inexplicable quality that just glues the whole thing together. all of my favorite albums are like that, a whole greater than the sum of it's already great parts
