When I was younger I loved listening to full albums but now I kinda hate it. I make exceptions sometimes though.
I mean, if you're listening to a concept album, then you're really missing out if you're not listening to it end-to-end.
David Bowie's "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars" is this rising and falling ballad of an alien who visits earth on the eve of the apocolypse.
My Chemical Romance's "Black Parade" builds up this soundscape of different numbers in an effort to emulate a carnival.
One of my favorite indie bands, the Protomen, have this entire track list that dramatically recreates the story behind the Megaman video game. Their sequel is this very folk-western prologue with some banger original tracks that get so much better as you move from song to song. Some songs lead directly into one another to create this rising tension that ends in a cathertic heavy metal payoff.
I'll admit I'm a shameless fan of Progressive Rock. Maybe this holds less true in other genres.
PROTOMEN MENTIONED RAAAA
thank you rock band 4 for introducing me to them. fucking love their song the hounds
Me too. What I’m about to say was before I was born, but music used to be primarily singles sold on vinyl 45s in drug stores. I’m back to that model with digital purchases.
Also, I recall in the 90s that dance music was single oriented – vinyl 12” stores for DJs and rave flyers.
This is kinda silly but what started me looking into album oriented radio and music business executives was a song by Sisters of Mercy, Doctor Jeep.
