How often do you listen to a full album from beginning to end?

In today's music world the playlist/shuffle rules, the act of listening and consuming an entire album is lost among the masses.

How often do you do this?

I've gone out of my way recently to just listen to full albums when listening to music and its been fantastic.

try and pick a night where you just sit down and listen to an album beginning to end.

You'll love it.

Every time one of my favorite artists comes out with a new one, I listen to it from front to back. I am doing that with Ben Howard's new album as I type this.

Also, when I have heard something I like from a band i'm not familiar with, I will go listen to one of their most popular albums straight through, as well as one of their earliest albums straight through. It is the best way to get to know the artist and what they're trying to convey.

daily, i don't do shuffle / playlists a lot, usually pick an album, concert, etc. and listen all the way through.

Pretty often. When I listen to music at work, it is almost always full albums. I would say I listen to 3-6 albums the average work day.

Same. One thing I like about my job is that I can put on headphones and listen to albums while I work.

Daily. I prefer to listen to an album the way the artist intended it.

I didn't really like it even when albums were good. I've always just liked songs for the most part.

I usually listen to albums beginning to end. It’s been that way since college for me.

When I am not working, its almost always shuffle.

Every day

It's how I prefer to listen to music, most of the time

But I also love DJing, picking and choosing tracks to set the atmosphere, when appropriate

I do it a lot in the car...but stops and starts, if that counts.

90% of the time I'm still throwing in cd's.

I definitely listen to full albums a few times a month. Sometimes, I'll listen to multiple from the same artist (Pink Floyd, The Beatles and Tool come to mind) on the same day just for the experience.

Depends. I get On kicks where I just want to listen to an album.

And some albums are better too to bottom than others.

The vast majority of the time I'm listening to a whole album at a time. I hate shuffling between bands/songs. Completely kills the vibe.

Every time. I don't care about your single.
