when was the last time you listened to a full album?

[DaveSimmons]

... 4 years after the OP ...

I still listen to full CDs daily, ripped to lossless FLAC and played on by my music jukebox PC.

But I'm old. You darn kids with your Tooter and FecesBook gots no attention span. Now get off my iLawn!

Daily.

Remember "album-oriented rock"? All the cool kids in the 70s listened to AOR FM stations rather than top 40.

There's a mentality among us older folks that albums were intended to have some coherence and are best listened to whole. But that's only ever really been true of some artists.

 

[MongGrel]

Right now.

Same. Well I'm not such an audiophile so I don't need FLAC and just ripped my CDs to MP3 with itunes-lame --insane.

I'm still listening to pretty much the exact same albums I listened to in the 90s (I only listened to them in the 90s, so not all of them are 90s albums, some of them are from 70s and 80s).

 

[videogames101]

pretty much every day,

vinyl, cd, digital, sometimes tape - it depends on my mood =D

idk, I can't imagine listening to music in a form other than the album

CAPTAIN HOWDY!

Check the dates.

That guy doesnt even post here anymore.

Whoops. Still the discussion of composition or "flow" of an album is valid.

 

[biostud]

I only listen to full albums.

I only listen to full albums.

Saddens me to think radio listeners only get Tool's Parabola when Parabol is necessary to set up the mood. Like how if you listen to Mars Volta Inertiatic ESP without Son Et Lumiere, it seems crazy to omit a very good build up. These are radio sins, and it is the same reason many artists have folded to people that "know" what people want to hear, and why radio is the laughable landscape it is today.

I have a huge library of lossless albums ripped in ALAC that I have on my Galaxy Note 3 (32GB + 128GB). I need to re-run in FLAC so I can stop using the DeaDBeeF player that doesn't support lockscreen stuff right or play well with other players.

That said, I use DeaDBeeF's shuffle function on my whole library until I hear something that catches my interest and then I disable it and start that album from the beginning. I do this a couple times a day when I have time. Heck, I even listened to the full album in the OP when I shuffled into a Smashing Pumpkins track a week ago.

That rip is 2 discs. Did you listen to both of them?

Yes. I also went on to listen to other SP albums.

Thank god there's an AOR station in L.A.that's actually quite good. I listen to it at least 9 hours a day.

 

[John Connor]

I pulled out a David Gray CD last month.

 

[Sword-of-Kings]

I listen to full albums all the time. The last time I listened to a full album was less than a week ago when I listened to The Wall.

Hmmm....

I usually listen to full albums, probably 60-70% of the time. I do have artist specific playlists I listen to, and sometimes I'll do random runs through an artist. Every now and then I'll shuffle through a genre or decade playlist.

 

[motsm]

I mostly listen to full albums.
