Most Listenable Albums

What Albums out there can you listen to the entire way through without skipping even one song.

Meaning you like every single song on the Album.

For me, one such Album is: ULTRA BLUE By Utada Hikaru

Anata Wa Wakarimasu ka.....

Alpha Centauri
I buy albums to do that, that's the point of albums.

I'm not sure why you'd own an album to skip songs.

Do you listen to anyone else besides Utada Hikaru?

Same thing I was wondering.

I can listen to Within Temptation's 'The Silent Force' album over and over without skipping a single song. Same with 'The Heart Of Everything'.
'Lacuna Coil's 'Unleashed Memories' album is another.

SelphieT
The Dresden Doll's self titled album is one that I can listen to over, and over, and over again.

As well as the Strokes, Is This It.

And basically anything from Rancid.

Deathblow
There's very, very few albums I like every single song on. Mezzanine, Orchid, Doolittle and Around the Fur are the only ones that spring to mind right now.

Mr.Biscuits
The Cold Vein.

Healing Artisan
Cannibal Ox- Cold Vein

i dont skip a single track.

others:

CunninLynguists- A Piece of Strange

tabby999
Lifetime - Lifetime
Nofx - Punk In Drublic
The Living End - Modern Artilery
A Wilhelm Scream - Career Suicide
Motion City Soundtrack - Even If It Kills Me
Soilwork - Stabbing The Drama

I kind of agree with AC on this one, but really, unless you've heard the album before you buy it, how do you know if your going to like every track? Even my favourite bands have some songs i dont particularly like.

Alpha Centauri
I own albums where I don't like every track, I just don't see the point in skipping.

-AC

Lana
About the only time I skip tracks while listening to CDs is if I just feel like listening to specific songs right then. Otherwise I listen all the way through.

Me eithor. I do have albums where I like most songs but a few, but even those songs I end up listening to, because I don't dislike them enough to skip.
Or I just can't be bothered skipping.

Rogue Jedi
I can listen to Independent Worm Saloon by the Butthole Surfers over and over again.

BackFire
I only buy albums in which I want to skip every song.

I don't skip tracks.

lol

But if there's one album it has to be a crime to skip a track it has to be 'What's Going On' by Marvin Gaye

Bardock42
I usually decide on whether to skip tracks according to the mood I am in.

I don't think I own any albums where I feel like I have to skip a certain track. Well...maybe Delirivm Cordia.

Victor Von Doom

Cos it's one track.

jesus, thats the fvcking goal eh. Do you truly believe their are people whom buy albums to skip through unpleasant music? Unfortunately, there is only one way to listen to an album in it's entirety and thats by purchasing it. Do you really have to bust balls and shit over everyone's questions and replies when you know what they mean? You enjoy every song on every album that you own. Considering your reply to the thread, i would have to assume your answer, to the most listenable album, would be every single album you own...,is this true?

How are you getting all of this out of my posts? Is it genuinely that perplexing of a concept? I listen to albums from beginning to end, that's how I listen to music. I don't skip because I prefer not to, it's not moral or anything serious.

If you had read my posts and not thrown a stupid, child-like tantrum, you would realise that I said no, I do not like every song on every album, but the point of albums (In my opinion) is to be listened to. So therefore, I don't skip any tracks.

The question was asking what album can we listen to without skipping any tracks, the answer, for me, would be any album, as I do not skip tracks. This doesn't mean I like them all.

Has everyone here taken a retard pill, or are you just really incapable of understanding points?

I think it's pretty obvious why, he takes albums as what they are as the whole, not bits in pieces.

Like, you may love a movie, but there may be a few scenes you don't particularly like, but because they are important to the larger picture of the work, you watch them.

If you skip over a few songs on an album, its no tlike you cant appreciate the album.

but hey, is his way, and I aint gonna challenge it, I am just curious.

BackFire
The analogy is fine as I think that's probably how he looks at albums, as greater works that encompass their own themes, and each song is important in getting that theme across.

Alpha Centauri
It's actually really, really, very simple.

I take albums as a whole. It's honestly not like I'm asking you to figure out the chaos theory.

And yes, songs are usually there for a reason, like scenes are. For example, if it's a concept album or what not.

Alpha Centauri
Who said anything about anyone being out to get anybody?

You clearly do not get it. You said "I don't see it that way.", don't see what? Do you know what a concept album is?

It's an album with a plot or story running through every song on the album. Removing one would be detrimental to a listen, in my opinion. Not only do they fit together lyrically (Which is the point of concept albums), but the music does too.

Right.

jaden101
as far as the debate going on is concerned...i skip tracks to listen to songs of a theme or style i'm in the mood for...i personally dont care if an artist is trying to convey an idea or concept as i prefer to listen to music and take a meaning from it that is personal to me rather than what someone else is trying to portray

obviously some albums have ongoing styles from a genre perspective and i can listen to the whole album...sometimes some tracks dont fit in with the moment

then again the whole concept of "albums" to me now is pretty irrelevant given that its easy just to make up playlists from various artists anyway and create "albums" with constant themes yourself

Sorry, but you fail. Once again, you have let your self righteousness cloud your comprehension. The question of the thread asks what is the most appealing album to you. Considering that you disregarded the obvious question. Or sincerely failed to understand it. By your logic, every single album you listen to is the most listenable. The question was not asking how you listen to albums, but rather, which album has the most collective appeal to you.

remember, the square peg goes in the square hole.

It asked if there is an album we like so much that we can listen to it through without skipping any tracks. Whether I like all the songs or NOT, I can listen to any without skipping, so the degree to which I like an album would be irrelevant. I love Lateralus by Tool more than No Heroes by Converge, I don't skip songs on either.

Get it right, slow boy.

Whatever, what's done is done.I know what a concept album is, its just that I dont take music as seriously as you do. I listen to music to relax, not to recognize a plot or storyline. just like some people watch a martial arts movie just to see the action, not for a story.



So me joking with you, telling you you are full of shit, while you referring to others as idiots....one is necessary and the other is not? And I am not saying I know alot about music, I never claimed to be Kurt fecking Loder. I have no doubt in my mind that you know more about music than I do. But that doesnt mean you have the right to question me posting here.


Anyways, yes, back to listenable albums. Nevermind by Nirvana is an easy listen, no skipping there for me.

Well, not unnecessarily. For instance, I think Disintegration by The Cure is a perfectly well rounded album, however, I won't say it's the most "listenable" album I own. It's not because of bad tracks (which there are none of) but because of the mood and atmosphere it sets and it's something you have to be in the mood for, otherwise, at least IMO, I don't see it being very accessible album. That's my interpretation anyway.
