Albums v Singles (1 Viewer)

[Selador]

Inspired by this article: Our one-track minds put albums out of fashion

Do you still buy/listen to albums? Or do you listen to your music mainly as single songs/

 

[hungwell1337]

albums usually have very few good songs and a bunch of shit ones

singles > albums

 

[MysteryGenius]

albums. always.

 

[Lentern]

I'm not sure if I've ever bought a single. Some compilations but singles, don't think so. (Not that I've never wished I had, buying the New Radicals album is a waste of time, "You only get what you give" is truly their only half decent song.)

The fuck is a single?

One single song from an album. OP is asking, do you buy/download just 1 track, or do you buy/download the whole album?

I, too, prefer albums.

Depends on the artist, if it's a band or even genre I know and like then it will be album (if not their discography).

If I just hear a song randomly and like it I almost certainly wont care for the album.

Well, most of the time, generally when I like 1-2 tracks, I tend to also like the rest of the album?

all bum is way better than a single lady.

 

[Riproot]

Illegally download single and if I like it I buy the album.
Albums are great to listen to and like songs that aren't just loved by fucking everyone.
Get your own taste in music. Sluts.

except in electronic music, then its perfectly acceptable to download/buy 12" or singles or whatever (but thats only because a lot of electronic artists produce EPs or double sided 12"s)

if you only buy singles it suggests to me:
- you're a 14 year old girl who listens to generic pop trash
- you probably have severe ADHD
