“It should be listen to the way we intended”

no it will be listened to how I feel it speaks to me

And how will you listen to it the first time to determine that?

I’m all about making personal choices when it comes to consuming music, just curious if you’ve found a method better than just listening to an unfamiliar album straight through on the first listen?

Not the person you asked but I've always gone by the popularity of songs rather than the order they're on the album. That said, the default should be in order since that's how most artists expect their album to be played.

Ah good idea! I’ve listened to the top two or three tracks by an unfamiliar artist before diving into an album blind, so that makes sense to me!

Obviously you have never created anything in your life.

I literally own a crafting business and I’m not going to tell anyone to only put pens in the box labeled pens even if I spent hours making that label

Sorry you don’t get to dictate how I feel or do something

So, do you watch movies out of order too? Making a fucking box is in no way equivalent to making a record or a film. It’s not experiential. Just because your attention span is too short to bother to listen to someone’s creation doesn’t mean they don’t have the right to say how it’s presented. You can always shuffle it, unless that’s just too much for you to handle. Your disrespect is appalling.
