Another aspect of this question; how many albums do you own that you actually like every single track on the album. Or maybe you bought it for one particular track and that turned out to be the only one you liked! Of course, that second aspect is a drawback of the olden days when you had to buy it to try it, unless you had a friend who bought it first and let you borrow it. Streaming does make things so much easier.
Anyone listen to entire albums?
I assume the answer is yes since many of you run vinyl rigs, but just wondering how many around here listen to entire albums at a sitting? In the age of instant gratification and playlists I seem to be, recently, gravitating to listening through entire albums. I don’t have vinyl and only stream or play from a network drive so it’s easy for me to bounce around from song to song, artist to artist. Maybe it’s a nostalgia thing but I enjoy hearing a record in it’s entirely the way the artist recorded it. I’ve flirted with the idea of vinyl for the very reason that it seems to be a format that lends itself to listening through an entire album in one sitting. I seem to be less inclined to make that move though now that I’ve been doing the album thing via streaming.
