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.-AC
Originally posted by BackFirethats a bsd analogy, because those scenes you speak of have to be seen to tie the plot together. If you skip over a few songs on an album, its no tlike you cant appreciate the album.
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.
but hey, is his way, and I aint gonna challenge it, I am just curious.
Originally posted by Alpha CentauriI dont see it that way, but as I said, its your way, so go with it. I understand your point now and why you do it, I just happen to disagree.
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.

and I also think you are full of shit. 😉
[i]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.[/B]
I know what you mean. I don't necessarily like all the songs on every album I own, but I don't skip them. I just ignore the song until the next one starts playing. 🙂
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.

Originally posted by Alpha CentauriYes, I know what a concept album is. And I understand your reasoning as to why you dont skip tracks, I have said this numerous times, I just happen to disagree with it. I dont how much more clear I can be. You are making a mountain out of a molehill, man.

And who's to say an album doesn't have a plot?

Your actually the first person I know that agrees with me on all of them. Normally I get a WTF? on two.
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
