You guys do this, right?

You guys do this, right?

depends

why would I do that?

1. the album that was mentioned in the recommendation

2. the album with the best title

3. the album with the high rating

4. maybe the first album if it's not shit

Why wouldn't you?

>getting all your music from recs

fucking summer casualfags

Because for many artists, their first album is not representative of the rest or the majority of their works. For example: pink floyd

>if it's not shit

And how do you know if you think its shit until you listen to it?

how do you find music if not recommendations and album reviews

So? Thats how you learn about the artist, their progressions, changes etc

1. the album with the most appealing cover
2. the highest rated album on RYM
3. the first album, if it's not 1 or 2

Discogs, label exploration, genre exploring

If I hear a song I like, I go and listen to their early stuff, then go down the line and see what else I like. There's no universal rule about every band starting awesome then turning to shit or vice versa.

It depends. Sometimes an artist's very first album is super obscure and rare.

>2. the highest rated album on RYM

Why do you let others tell you what is good? Does your brain not work?

who cares about that stuff

>discogs

>but not other people's recommendations

??

Yeah, thats why you should always listen to all their music and find out.

music fans

Discogs is a database, not a recommendations or review site

Sometimes there's a widely agreed upon starting point which isn't the debut. Think of Bowie, the consensus is usually to not bother with his s/t and start on Space Oddity.

I'm a music fan, and I don't care about that. I can still see how an artist progress if I start at anything other than their first album.

a
database
of
reviews

I was told to listen to Rain Dogs by Tom Waits first, it was 8 months later before I listened to Closing Time and discovered I preferred his earlier albums.

Fuck the consensus.

Sup Forums core obviously

now i can flirt with alternative bitches and be pretentious around my friends

No its not you dumb cunt, its a database of music, every labels every release, not by reviews.

Have you ever even been there.

I only listen to the albums Sup Forums said are patrician and Scaruffi, Pitckfork and Fantano give 8 or above too.

not him but it sure as hell saves you more time than listening to every album in order to formulate your own opinion on which is the best.

I'd rather spend a whopping 5 hours extra and think for myself thanks.

good for you, not everyone has that kind of time. treasure it while you still can
