I listen to CDs exclusively and I almost always listen to the whole album. I was a greatest hits fan, but after learning they are usually heavily compressed, I started buying the artist’s albums with the best dynamic range and I have been enjoying the hits and the deep cuts. It’s like being in high school all over again. But, with a much better system!
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.
