Listening to full albums ?

HenriRoger	Date: November 22, 2005 @ 3:24 AM Hi do you often listen to entire albums without doing anything else ?
popdem	Date: November 22, 2005 @ 8:24 AM yes... unless the band i'm listening to doesn't know how to make worth while filler tracks...
shadowself	Date: November 22, 2005 @ 12:12 PM I love listening to entire albums, but unfortunately there are few newer albums that are worth listening to in their entirety. I resort to 70s prog, and albums by singer/songwriter types. Current favourite full album: Kevin Gilbert - Shaming of the True (released posthumously in 2000)
vladb	Date: November 22, 2005 @ 12:36 PM It’s the best way to unwind after the grind of the mortal coil is getting you down. Jus stick on an album, shove on your headphones and drift of into the world the music makes for you. And god do I come out with some hippy like crap at times….
DigitalEntropy	Date: November 22, 2005 @ 12:52 PM with the spirit of a traffic jam as well as simon by gruvis malt are 2 of my favorite cds of all time. a must listen to. cant wait for their new cd
Alecs	Date: November 22, 2005 @ 1:41 PM Personally my favs to do that with are Surfing with the Alien (satriani), Train o' Thought (dream theater), and Real Illusions: Reflections w/ the exception of the song Firewall (vai's new album. it's the shit) I can usually only do that if I'm really really pissed, though. I just stare up at the pictures on my wall (there are 26 at this point) and zone out completely. It's heaven!
EmpireDay3	Date: November 22, 2005 @ 2:05 PM The only chance I get to listen to full albums is in the car, so that's not entirely doing nothing else. But I sure don't listen to the radio 'cos it sucks. I remember reading an article not long ago about how the album as an art form is dying. No one wants to pay $15 for 12 tunes when they can download their two favorite songs for $.99 each.
shadowself	Date: November 22, 2005 @ 2:09 PM Another full album that is pretty amazing is In Absentia by Porcupine Tree. Rock solid from start to finish. And EmpireDay3 - that may be true for some people, but those are the type of people that will only listen to what the radio tells them to, and will skip every other song on the album until it is released for airplay, then they all of a sudden like it. And I would rather pay $15 for 12 songs that are worth listening to instead of paying a couple of bucks for the two songs that get played to death for free on the radio anyway.
TameasDust	Date: November 22, 2005 @ 3:15 PM er whats an album?
tooles	Date: November 22, 2005 @ 5:15 PM There are few experiences cooler than putting a good record or cd on play, lying back, and just listening. A good artist organizes the album in a way that means something; they intend during recording that listeners will be playing the entire LP. My personal faves for whole-album listening are What's The Story, Morning Glory by Oasis, Naveed by Our Lady Peace, and The Joshua Tree by U2.
Intergalacti...	Date: November 22, 2005 @ 5:17 PM .... a new album worth ;listening to is jamie cullums catching tales its genius
K3VIN	Date: November 22, 2005 @ 5:23 PM proof- searching for jerry garcia! yeaha!
PrincessTast...	Date: November 22, 2005 @ 8:46 PM Yes King Crimson Led Zeppelin
PrincessTast...	Date: November 22, 2005 @ 8:48 PM I actually prefer to listen to a CD (sorry, album) that I can just put on and listen to all the way through without having to skip over stuff. Alas, this seems to be becoming a dying ritual in my alley.
hate9wicket	Date: November 22, 2005 @ 9:31 PM Buddy Miller-Universal United House of Prayer I try to sing along with "Fire and Rain" and without fail, my voice starts to crack and I have to stop. Never heard of him 'til I saw him play guitar for Emmylou Harris.
hate9wicket	Date: November 22, 2005 @ 10:32 PM Edit 'fire and water' the only cover on that record is "With God on our side".
EtherEclectic	Date: November 23, 2005 @ 12:11 AM i have alot of stuff that i have to listen to from start to finish mostly due to the cd being a concept album, story etc. cradle of filth does this alot, dream theater did it for scenes of a memory, and of course we all know pink floyd did it ritualistically pretty much.
HenriRoger	Date: November 23, 2005 @ 4:52 AM EmpireDay3 "I remember reading an article not long ago about how the album as an art form is dying" Me too, that's why i started this thread. And it's so good to read the answers hahaha ,thx .
ZsigE	Date: November 23, 2005 @ 5:38 AM I don't often have time at the moment to do nothing other than listening when I play music, but I do tend to play albums all the way through - you just lose so much if you chop and change between them. The case in point here is Abey Road, which you HAVE to listen to in one go to get its full impact. Oh, and Tubular Bells, but 2-track albums probably don't count in this case...
PrincessTast...	Date: November 30, 2005 @ 2:04 PM SAVE OUR ALBUM ART!
Storebought	Date: November 30, 2005 @ 2:09 PM I drive a lot and there are a few albums I can listen to all the way through while only driving. There are VERY few that I can just sit in a dark room and enjoy - I am a product of a television generation.
killtrix	Date: November 30, 2005 @ 2:30 PM Lately it's been Alice in Chains "Jar Of flies" Great album.
GeneHilbert	Date: November 30, 2005 @ 2:40 PM Yes...... I'm pretty picky about the artist I buy. So as a benefit I normally like all of their material.
WalkingStick	Date: December 1, 2005 @ 3:21 PM every time I buy a new album I listen to it in it's entierty just out of courtisy I think
Veracohr	Date: December 1, 2005 @ 3:54 PM I generally don't buy albums that I don't like every song on. And I hate skipping around, so I usually do listen to entire albums at once. But I rarely if ever just sit and listen to the music without doing anything else. I usually read while I listen to music, or play a game, or clean the house, or do internet stuff, etc.
sparkotronic	Date: December 1, 2005 @ 4:41 PM There are a few. Rush-Hemispheres Alan Parsons Project-Tales of mystery ect Lamb-fear of fours
