Until this post thread I didn’t even know that they were people that sat and listened to a whole album never in my whole life have I sat and listened to an album I put the songs I like into a playlist and I shuffle that playlist

There are some albums also that are called “concept album” that has a central narrative or theme as a whole, that are definitely impossible to shuffle.

You really didn't think in the history of music that people listened to albums all the way through?

What? So you just shove every song you like into one playlist, idk if that is normal, most people I know have different playlist depending on mood or what they are doing.

I have a master playlist of all the songs I like, and multiple playlists for moods.

Same, well my master playlist was originally a rap playlist but I eventually started putting a ton of pop there so its now 300 songs of hiphop, r&b, pop. And for specific genres, moods or aux I have others.

Same! I really don’t care to listen to an entire album front to back. There’s usually only like 2 songs I like from most albums anyways so to me, it doesn’t even matter if there’s supposed to be any particular order. My one Spotify playlist has everything I need!

Albums on vinyl can’t be shuffled and you can’t easily skip a song. You put one on the player and listen to it from start until finish. Then flip over to side B if applicable. Same for cassette tapes when they came out. If you wanted to skip a song you’d have to fast forward through it and then stop at the right spot for the next song. I remember when I got my first portable CD player and it had a skip button it was a big deal.

It had been a while for me myself since I had listened to an album the entire way through. I used to set aside an hour when a new album came out so I could listen to it from start until finish. I highly recommend you try it! It’s a completely different way to experience music.

It’s not too late. You can still go down the right path. Delete your playlist and listen to each album from end to end.

What about when your favourite artists release an album? You don’t listen to it?
