The same gear with the same settings on different songs can sound pretty different. You are the common denominator and likely following your tastes will be the glue that holds the album together.

I have done albums where I do one song at a time not worrying about what I did on the last song as I do the next and they come out more consistent then you may think.
Thanks Paul, I totally get where you're coming from
