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.

I listen to the whole album 90% of the time and like others have said, I rarely listen to the extras that are added. 

I do...when I play CDs,  Blu-Ray audio or vinyl, I almost always listen to the whole album...and about 1/2 the time when I stream

When your system is good, you can't help but flip the record over to hear side two. After cleaning the stylus.
