I remain flummoxed that you often listen to PART of a studio album rather than the whole thing. I just can't do it. Some people watch certain scenes from movies; can't do that either. The issue is mine of course but it blows my mind. :)
I don't think listening to one side or a few sides of a record is the same as watching just part of a movie. The movie tells a story. "Tusk" is a bunch of songs, many of which bore me. Side Two of Todd's "Initiation" is 35 minutes long and has nothing to do with Side One. Can't imagine watching only the "horse's head" sequence in "The Godfather" without knowing why that happened. But one side of a record, unless it's "Tommy" or some other concept record, doesn't add or takeaway from the album...for me.
