Personally, I listen to albums by their release date, oldest first. I feel it allows you to appreciate how a band progresses over the years and gives you a better understanding of how their early material compares to their newer material. I find it interesting how the band adapts their sound and to hear the subtle changes between albums. I also tend to listen to songs in the correct order within an albums, as this was the intended order to listen to the songs, decided by the artist/s.
