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.
Probably 95% of the time I listen to both sides of an album. The other 5% I realize I’m really not in the mood for side 1, much less side 2. I only have 1 “modern” reissue, out of 5,000+ vinyl albums. It’s Fleetwood Mac’s Greatest hits that I bought at Walmart 3 years ago. It’s a poor reissue. Noisy, low recording volume, thin sounding. I found an original, sealed mint copy. Worlds apart in quality!
