Do you listen to albums from beginning to end? (Without pauses or skipping songs)

vast majority of the time yeah. i just throw on a few a day usually. i like engaging with the work in full. playlists are fun to make though!

If I love the entire album, or most of it, yes. Hopesfall and Fiddlehead put out pretty consistent records that I tend to listen to from beginning to end.

The first time listening, yes

Yeah, I like listening to whole albums of a band, as a way to help fixate on my brain what music I'm listening to. If I put on some infinite playlist, the songs start to meld together and I don't remember them individually. This also lets me explore a band's work in context, and maintaining generally a vibe. Reminds me of listening to full CDs while riding in the car when I was younger.

Absolutely, especially if I'm going out of my way to check out an artist. Listening to at least one full album is the only way I can really figure out if I dig said artist or not.

Yeah this is usually how I prefer to listen to music tbh.

If I've listened to my select few songs like, tens of times, then i will purposefully shoot for the full album. I typically don't listen to a full album all the way through unless it was something i was already anticipating to release. I prefer shorter albums over longer ones though. I don't mind a single song being any length. But if you have like, 20+ songs on one album, i doubt I'm sitting down to listen to that entire thing lol.

If I haven't listened to the album before, I'll consume it entirely without skipping. If I'm revisiting an album I usually skip to my favorite song and listen to what remains of the album. Really tho, it depends on my mood.
