Letting an album play all the way through

Post by bandshell » Fri Nov 20, 2009 8:06 pm

How many people put on an album and let it play all the way through and listen to it all?

I try to do this frequently but I often just listen to singular tracks.

I do when I go to sleep, but I usually fall asleep by the time the third tracks gets around. :lol:

I try and do this a lot. I often discover tracks that I never knew were good before.

Yup, totally depends on the album. I'm usually one for letting it play through.

The mp3 age has ruined this for me tbh. I never EVER skip tracks on a record or a CD but if it's an mp3 album queued up I'll go straight to one song.

Well yeah, obviously. :lol:

I don't mean letting it play through just because it's an album.

yeah this is the same with me. Up until like 2004 I would without a question listen to albums all the way through. I used to know albums based on track number and the way it progressed and all that. Q: what song is _________ A: that's number ___ sometimes wouldnt even need the title. just a vague description of what it sounded like

Like the KM album for example. I love the album but I've never listened to it straight through. couldn't tell you what the 2nd or 3rd song is.

All the way through!

Unless I'm in the mood for a specific song or with friends.

strange, this is the only Beatles album i cannot listen to all the way. ( i assume you mean the beatles?)

Most other albums i can get through, even bad tracks, if the bulk of the album is good. Otherwise i don't get drawn to the album in the first place.
I think i am yet to be too effected by the MP3 age, if i Dl anything i have to get the whole album anyway.

How can you figure out the whole bands sound without the rest of the tracks.

No, I meant The White room by the KLF. The White Album is by the Beatles :)

(Can't listen to the Beatles, 1) I don't like them 2) I had to listen to them all the time in the car as a kid)

Kid A has to be played in it's entirety, it is the best album they have ever done and is one of the best albums of the last thirty years IMO.
