The best listening experience is to find an album you like and listen to the whole thing.

Anything else imo is like looking at the corner of a painting and ignoring the rest.

But if listening to an entire album was necessary 100% of the time, artists wouldn't release singles.

I like listening to full albums because then I can decide which songs I can listen to again later on, and which ones to actively avoid.

Streetlight Manifesto is one of the few bands I go out of my way to listen to every song on every album, because they're that good and have almost no bad songs. I can't wait for the next album that's supposed to drop this year.

Edit: Beast in Black too.

I'm the opposite. Usually listen to full albums and even if I really like one or two songs, if the album sucks otherwise I'm unlikely to listen to them much, if at all.

I'm a mix of both. That's why I pay for Spotify, and also own a turntable setup. Sometimes I just want single tracks, sometimes I want to sit down and listen to the entire album. There are some albums where I'll only listen to the entire thing.
