Generally, I prefer to listen to a disc in its entirety. Not always, but usually. I listened to a Mapleshade CD all the way through (I cannot remember the artist or title, it was one I got nearly 30 rears ago and I have more fingers on one hand than the times I have listened to it), then Janis Ian/Breaking Silence, then Rebecca Pidgeon/The Raven. Then I listened to two tracks from Mia Doi Todd because I wanted to hear My Baby Lives In Paris and then I listened to three tracks off of Ray Lamontagne/God Willin' And The Creek Don't Rise, but generally I prefer to listen to complete CDs.
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.
