Do you listen to albums?

[WiiMiiSwitch]

Sorry for the possible bump but I do listen to albums, I feel like people don't really do it anymore simply because they only want to listen to the big hits (singles). However, some album songs in general can be way better than just that one big single

Yes.
I relisten to some religiously

Spoiler

•Death Note III - Hideki Taniuchi
•Kingdom Hearts II - Yoko Shimomura
Kingdom Hearts 358\2 - Yoko Shimomura
•VRAINS SD 1 - Shinkichi Mitsumune
•Full Moon Wo Sagashite h V.a.
• The Mentalist Soundtrack - Blake Neely
• Another Code R - Satoshi Okubo
etc..

I might kill the post chara limit if I went on. I love instrumentals.

Listens to pirated albums, if that counts

I mostly have random stuff playing in the background but if I am doing it to actually listen then I tend to go with vinyl which is much more of an experience in itself. I don't have any decent headphones at the moment though which is hampering my enjoyment.

I listen to full albums. If I find a song I really love I'll listen to the album. For me it's like reading the whole book when a chapter caught your interest in a magazine.

Yes mosly I do, but depends on the album.

Music is my oxygen, to be honest, I can hardly imagine myself listening to a single track or a compilation, in fact, at home it's very, very rare that I don't take the time to listen to an entire album, to me, it's a canvas, a story, an atmosphere, a clever mix of texts, visuals and music.

It's funny, today, I asked myself this question: would it be serious to ask the same question for a book? It would be a bit ridiculous as a situation, like "hey, I like this book because it has good passages with good quotes, on the other hand, I haven't read it, I don't know what it's about apart from the excerpts that I know"

Honestly, I think it's due to the evolution of media but in the end, good music is one that remains timeless.
