As primarily a vinyl listener, I tend to listen to entire albums.
Tim, I don’t care how you or anyone listens to your music, but let’s be factual. The order of an album is rarely the order in which songs were composed. Just like a book is not written in the order it appears (editinghn/shuffling/ etc) Sometimes it represents part of a concerted artistic vision, sometimes it does not-but I suspect it usually does.
Is hifideity about reproducing artistic intent? If so, I am confused why you would think it anal to listen to an album in its entirety which is part of that artistic intent. If not, I am confused why you are on Audiogon. Not being disrespectful here, just don’t understand why your lens went to people being anal. I didn’t see this as a discussion of people curtailing your freedom or enforcing uniformity. Can you help me understand?
