Great article, thanks for sharing. I only started listening to albums fairly recently; the relative "slowness" of listening to a full album, rather than the immediate gratification of just listening to a playlist of my favorite songs, has been really satisfying.
I like that the article mentions other benefits of owning physical records, like the fact that it's not adding to some advertising company's "listener profile" of you. I like having something that a friend can borrow. And I've gotten some recommendations from the person next to me while I'm flipping through a crate at the record store, which is also fun. People at the record store are good people. :)
