Man, I haven't had this debate in ages.
I should disclose that I prefer a Spotify subscription over buying albums, so that may influence my view of an album's quality. Anyway, I definitely consider an album with a few great songs and a few bad songs of higher quality than an album full of average songs that are all "consistent" with each other. If a song sounds like (or reminds me of) a hundred other songs, it loses meaning for me.
