"Oh, I don't listen to albums"

> "Oh, I don't listen to albums"

It honestly baffles me that there are people who listen to music regularly who have almost never put on a full album.

Is this straight pleb or is there anyone on Sup Forums who legitimately does this??

I do this. Once I've established which songs I don't like, I'm not going to waste my time with them.

At this point it feels weird to listen to a song individually, feels very incomplete, so no I don't do that

That's the difference between patricians and plebs who listen to music for (((entertainment)))

I have to confess to be in this camp. I'm sorry that I annoy but it's just the way I consume music. It's not really that I don't listen to albums it's just that I skip songs I don't like. Although, most of the time I just listen to a mix of random songs.

fucking dumb rockists retards

It feels like that's how the industry is these days. The single is reigning supreme, and the album is taking a back seat. It'll come back eventually, but right now, it's the single power that drives an artist's popularity

Pretty much. Unless there are other single-worthy songs on the rest of the album, the singles will be most remembered.

There's nothing wrong with this. Plebeian

I feel sorry for those who those who will never experience the joy of listening to a great album the whole way through.

Yes there is you dumb pleb with a short attention span

I used to exclusively listen to albums but recently, I got a job and drive a lot more and it's just easier to turn the satellite radio on. I confess I feel bad for not getting my phone out and listening to an album but I do enjoy skipping between 60s, 70s, 80s, folk/singer-songwriter, old rap, hardcore/punk, and a new wave channel. I feel like I have learned a lot of good music because of it.

The only channel that sucks is the "college indie" station.

This. I hate when I try to recommend an album to some normie who would probably like it and they always say they've never heard of "that song."

Go outside. Most music and entertainment is just background noise for doing menial work and not asking any questions

that's a pretty low bar for patrician. you're not patrician just because you're not braindead

>albums are the only long play format
Wew, we gots a total pleb on our hands here

they're memers

Wow what a hot opinion. Too bad you're WRONG. That was true in the iTunes/mp3 era, but now in the age of streaming and Spotify there's no additional cost to listen to an entire album, which is why mainstream artists are trying to shift from singles to "album artists". This is especially true in pop and hip-hop where the wild success of Kendrick Lamar's albums make every rapper try one.

ITT: rockists

I can't do that because I often realize I was wrong and the song grows on me with repeat listens. That probably wouldn't happen if I didn't let the album play through on its own terms.

I really do prefer it when an album sounds good as a whole

That being said I do cherry pick frequently

Even within hip-hop, the album still seems like something people notice and care about (MBDTF, TPAB, etc), so I'm not sure what you guys are on about.
