MODERATORS
Albums are such a lost art, it kills me.
Yeah, and in my case, a fine example of "you don't know what you've got til it's gone". I seldom listened to tracks in order and would skip around or put my favorite song on a loop or switch CDs just to hear one song, etc even on CDs I mixed myself.
This time around I've just been putting them in and letting them play. On some albums, it is clear the artist or producer wanted you to dip your toes in with the first track, get you pumped with the second, make you think or feel with the third, give you a breather with the forth, and crack it back up with the fifth (and so on) and the last track is pretty much always the "finale". Definitely more than just throwing the tracks down and saying "come get it" and something I'm sad I didn't appreciate more when physical media was common.
Agreed. I much prefer listening to full albums. Even stuff I bought a long time ago as a teenager for one song, I’ve enjoyed going back and listening to the complete album.
Do y'all not listen to albums on your phone?
It's not that they don't exist it's that artists/producers aren't focusing on the album experience as much. The album used to be the thing, and the single was the bait to lure you into purchasing it. Now, the single is more likely to be the thing.
They're still making concept albums. Check out Unleash the Archers
Yeah it’s not that they don’t exist it’s that artists/producers aren’t focusing on the album experience as much.
Then follow better artists who align with your tastes
My personal tastes have nothing to do with the topic being discussed. Stop trying to provoke an argument or I'll report you.
