Am I the last remaining "album" guy? I'm interested when I see you listening to just one side. I simply can't do that. Gotta listen to the whole thing. (Which is why I haven't listened to prince's Crystal Ball in 20 years.) Mind you, I'm increasingly aware albums might be a fluke, a fad, compared to the single, the playlist, the endless release of eps and singles and live tracks and the occasional "mixtape/album." Dinosaur thy name is Michael.
Well, first off, I am definitely an album guy. I am all about sequencing and records taken as a whole. But, with the album comes two sides, or four or even six if your Prince. I would never listen to Side Two first. Once I've made it through an entire record, then all bets are off. I enjoy Side One of Bruce's "Magic" so much more than Side Two that I rarely play Side Two. I can say that about hundreds of other records, as well. I almost never play Side Four of "Quadrophenia." Always 1-3.I actually find it a lot more fun to play single sides. More time for more listening.
Also, one other secret---occasionally I am play-testing records for sale, or checking out records to decide if it's something I want to keep or flip.
